Kara Lawson hasn’t forgotten that a reporter innocently missed the not-so-secret fact that she’s a former hooper. Lawson showed up to March Madness media availability, rocking a white hoodie with one word on it: HOOPER.
Just days ago, after a big win over No. 2 Ohio State, a reporter mentioned they had a question “for the hoopers in the room.” Duke head coach Kara Lawson immediately cut into the question, saying, “HOLD UP,” followed with a hilarious reminder that she was and still is a hooper.
On Friday, Lawson hadn’t forgotten the unintentional slight. She wore a simple white sweatshirt to a Duke media availability session with one word on it — hooper — in large letters.
Absolutely howling at Kara Lawson wearing a sweatshirt that says "Hooper" at her Sweet 16 press conference.
