Lindsey Harding is the new South Sudan women's head coach in the "new normal" movement. Harding's appointment follows Cote d'Ivoire's Christelle N'Garsanet who became the first Africa-born former female player named head coach of a national team on the continent. With this new appointment, Harding will be coaching in Africa for the first time and in charge of a "new baby" as the East African nation looks to roll out their women's basketball team for the very first time in the nine-year old history of the world's youngest country.
