Listen "Inside EWU Women's Hoops with Head Coach Joddie Gleason"
Episode Synopsis
This week on The Krista Redpath Show, Krista sits down with Eastern Washington head coach Joddie Gleason, the 2024 Big Sky Coach of the Year who guided the Eagles to their first NCAA Tournament appearance in program history. A former Kodak All-American at Chico State, Gleason shares her journey from standout player to master program-builder, and offers insight on the Big Sky’s newest head coaches — Laura Dinkins at Northern Arizona and Karlie Burris at Portland State.
She also breaks down the league’s growing parity, where every night demands preparation and toughness, and gives an inside look at this year’s Eagles squad — including the impact of two Montana standouts: Kourtney Grossman of Billings, last season’s Freshman of the Year with 14 double-doubles, and Emily McElmurry of Missoula, whose deep family lineage of Division I athletes continues to shine in Cheney.
