There is one college softball coach who understands what it takes to do what Patty Gasso is doing at Oklahoma.
Her Sooners have won a record 48 games in a row (and counting). Last weekend, they eclipsed the previous Division I record of 47, set by Arizona under Hall of Fame coach Mike Candrea in the late 1990s. Now retired, Candrea has been fielding calls about the old record lately, praising Gasso and Oklahoma: He knows, after all, how difficult it is to win like this. And he also knows how difficult it is to do what Gasso is trying to do next.
Think winning 47 (or 48) in a row is hard? Try winning three consecutive titles.
