ATLANTA — In recent years a number of women have taken leadership roles in the male dominated sports world. But before many of them, Melissa Proctor laid the foundation of opening doors for young women just starting out.
At 15 years old, Proctor was already dreaming big. She had aspirations of becoming the first female coach in the NBA -- despite the fact she had never played basketball.
