@hannah.hidalgo3 on why she chose to play for @ndwbb: “Coach Ivey. After all the experience I went through with USA Basketball in high school, I knew what I wanted in a coach. And I wanted to have that player-coach relationship. I’m big on family, so I wanted to be in a family environment where I felt at home. And you know, talking to Coach Ivey throughout the whole recruitment process she was just so consistent, and she treated me as one of her own ...⁠
⁠
Of course, I asked outside sources because you’re only going to get so much from the inside sources. And I always got the same answer that, you know, ‘with Niele, what you see is what you’re gonna get…’ She’s genuine, and she’s such a player’s coach and of course I saw that when I came on my visit. I really felt at home.”⁠
