Basketball Coaches
Without Boundaries was proud to have Nikki Teasley as a head coach
during our 2001 Youth Summer Basketball Season. Nikki stepped in
to help our with our 2001 Senior Division Timberwolves
team. Her team ended the season with a 3 and 3
record. However, Nikki brought a new light on the players as she
introduced them to college level pre-game warm-up, offenses and
defensive schemes. During her off season with the North Carolina
University Woman's basketball team, everyone could tell Nikki was going
to be a star in the WNBA. The team members of the 2001 Senior
Division Timberwolves will never forget their summer experience
having Nikki Teasley as a volenteer coach. Nikki
gave her team the same energy she gives when playing the game.
Nikki attend Prospect Hall of Frederick and had a wonderful
college career at North Carolina University. Additionally, Nikki
was a member of the 2004 USA Basketball Women's Senior
National Team. Currently, she is a 6-0 foot,
169 lbs, point guard for the WNBA LA Sparks. Of
all the BCWB players and volenteers over the years, Nikki is by far one
of the most
successful in her basketball career. As a member of the LA
Sparks, in 2002 WNBA finals she hit the game winning 3 point shot as
time expired to complete a two game sweep and capture the WNBA
championship.
