COACH DICK HALTERMAN - Dick Halterman is entering his 17th season as the head coach for the Oklahoma State Cowgirls, and brings with him a 300-202 career mark at OSU. Halterman has guided the Cowgirls to eight postseason appearances in the last 11 years, including seven NCAA Tournament appearances (last in 1996) and one Women's NIT appearance (1998). Under Halterman, 13 Cowgirls have been named first-team all-conference, while 27 student-athletes have achieved first-team academic all-conference status. He is a two-time conference Coach of the Year, and was the District V Coach of the Year in 1991. Halterman has taken two conference All-Star teams abroad, including this past August, when he led the Big 12 All-Stars on a tour of Finland and Sweden. That team finished with a 5-1 record. Here is a look at Halterman's year-by-year coaching record at Oklahoma State.

HALTERMAN ON RADIO/TV - During the 1999-2000 season, fans can catch up with the Cowgirl head coach on both the radio and television. The Coach Halterman Radio Show will be broadcast every Monday evening from 5:30 - 6 p.m. on KGFY-105.5 FM in Stillwater. The Coach Halterman Television Show will be broadcast on Tuesday's at 7 p.m. on KWEM-TV 31 in Stillwater, which is Channel 3 on Peak Cablevision. Casey Kendrick, program manager at KWEM, will host both the radio and television shows.
HALTERMAN'S 300TH WIN - Oklahoma State's 80-66 win over Texas A&M was a milestone in Halterman's career. It was his 300th victory at OSU, moving him into an elite group. Only six coaches in the history of Oklahoma State athletics have reached that mark: Mr. Henry Iba (men's basketball), Toby Greene (baseball), Gary Ward (baseball), Sandy Fischer (softball) and James Wadley (men's tennis). Halterman also became the sixth coach in the Big 12 to reach that mark, and the fourth to reach it at his current school. Only Marian Washington (KU), Ceal Barry (CU), Jody Conradt (UT) and Marsha Sharp (TTU) have won that many games with their current team.
HALTERMAN'S 500TH GAME - Oklahoma State's game vs. Nebraska was the 500th in Halterman's career at OSU. He is 300-202 in 17 seasons with the Cowgirls. He has an all-time record of 549-236, including stints at Wheeling High School and Moberly Junior College.
CROW FINISHES UP FINE CAREER - Jennifer Crow is in her final postseason in a Cowgirl uniform, and has moved up several OSU career statistical charts. She became the 14th player in school history to record 1,000 points in a career, and she currently ranks second on the all-time points scored list with 1,768. With 17 points vs. OU last week, Jennifer surpassed Lisa McGill for second. She already holds the school record for three-pointers made (210) and attempted (568) in a career. Jennifer was named third-team All-Big 12 last season, and was honored as a second-team Academic All-American her junior year. She ranks seventh in career scoring average at 15.5 ppg, fifth in free-throw percentage at 82.4 percent, and fifth in three-point shooting at 37.0 percent. Another interesting note: Jennifer is just the third Cowgirl to ever average double-figure scoring in all four years of her career. Here is a look at where Jennifer ranks on the school's career charts:
