“Katie Dinnebier is as tough of a competitor as there is. She’s one of the best on-ball defenders I’ve ever coached against. Offensively, she’s able to not only finish at the rim and shoot a high percentage from the 3-point line, but also, when you have a help defender step over to slow her down, she finds an open teammate with a great pass.”
