I wish you were in, Dixie

Any time you compile a list like the one I have in today's Tulsa World (significant female sports figures in Oklahoma history), you do it knowing that somebody deserving is probably going to be unintentionally omitted and you won't realize it until you get enlightening emails.

Those emails have arrived and, given a do-over, I would have included Dixie Woodall on the list. In fact, you can officially consider her on the list from this point forward. (Let's call it an amendment).

Here's Woodall's bio information from the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame.

• Was a three-time AAU All-American (1964, 1966, 1967) with the Raytown Piperettes and played on Nashville Business College’s 1960 AAU National Championship squad.

• Earned a silver medal as a member of USA squad that competed in the 1967 Pan American Games.

• Amassed a combined record of 390-97 in 14 seasons as the head coach at Seminole Junior College (281-71 in 10 seasons) and Oral Roberts University (109-26 in four seasons).

• Represented the United States on teams that toured South America in 1965 and competed in the FIBA World Championship in 1967.

• Captured a junior college national championship crown at Seminole in 1976 with national runner-up finishes in both 1975 and 1977
• Served as an assistant coach for USA squad that claimed a silver medal at the 1977 World University Games in Bulgaria.

• Coached USA teams that traveled to Russia, Korea, Hong Kong, China, and Japan.

Regarding my list, I wish you were in, Dixie. Because I can't go back in time, I'm making amends here.
