Nicholson, who goes by ‘Coach Nick,’ has been with the Wildcats for three seasons. The 2023-24 season was a defining era in K-State women’s basketball history, with the ‘Cats earning a national ranking as high as No. 2 and hosting the first two rounds of the NCAA tournament.
A second-round loss to Colorado wasn’t the way the ‘Cats wanted to end the year, but Coach Nick says there’s so much momentum to build from.
“To overcome with [Ayoka Lee] getting hurt in the middle of the year and still manage to keep winning and say near the top of the Big 12 and give us a chance for that championship the last week,” Nicholson said. “What a really good year when you look back on everything.”
