Longtime basketball coach Rob Selvig can still vividly remember a time when athletic opportunities for women were virtually nonexistent.
Selvig grew up, together with seven siblings, in the small town of Outlook, Montana, in the 1950s and ‘60s. Though he and his brothers were given sports scholarships and had ample opportunity to play on sports teams, his three “very athletic” sisters weren’t awarded the same treatment.
“It didn’t make any sense,” he recalled.
