Ideal team close to home for KU basketball player
By Melinda Weaver sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
Kristen May did not have to travel a great distance to find her ideal college.
May graduated from Lincoln College Preparatory Academy, in Kansas City, Mo., this spring. May, a freshman guard for the Jayhawks women's basketball team, was impressed with Kansas as soon as the team started recruiting her and she pleased her family by staying close to home, she said.
"The people here are great, the program is great, the location is great and the academics are great." May said. "It's just great."
May's interest in basketball was inspired by her father, who began taking her to the court with him when she was young and bought her a toy basket when she was four. At age seven, she entered her first basketball league.
During her senior year, she led Lincoln Prep to a 22-8 record and a fifth-place conference finish, the best in school history. During that season, she averaged 21 points, nine rebounds and seven steals per game.
At the time, she did not expect to play college basketball, but by high school, she had developed into a top player.
"I'm very excited to have Kristen on our team," Kansas coach Marlan Washington said. "I think she will develop into a very fine player for us."
May spent the summer developing her skills with a workout sent to her by assistance strength coach Joy Hayes. She also played ball against her older male cousins to keep her game solid and studied past Kansas teams to learn Washington's style of play.
"I did my homework this summer, and I noticed that in the past, Kansas has not been consistent
with their fast breaks." May said.
"They run a good offense, but to win games, you want to push the ball up the floor and get looks under the basket. I hope to bring an up-tempo game and make good passes on fast breaks."
May described her style of play as "funky," explaining that she was not afraid to hustle and hit the ground.
make the defense wonder what you are going to do by making every aspect of your game a threat."
She said she hoped to improve her three-point shot during her stay at Kansas.
"I love to pass, and I am great off the dribble, but to be a good point guard, you have to have a good shot," May said. "You have to
There is more competition at the collegiate level because every player is even," May said. "In high school, you can get away with not playing as well, but in college, you have to work harder to stand out and prove yourself. You have to go to the gym instead of going to that party that all your friends are going to."
May said that another appeal of college basketball is the chance to prove herself on another level.
In her first season, May will be playing reserve to Lynn Pride. Suzi Raymant and Jennifer Jackson, so she cannot expect too much playing time.
She said she expects her role to be a motivator, even if she does not see as much playing time as she would like.
May has not had the opportunity to practice with her teammates yet but said that she liked everyone she had met.
"Coach Washington is a beautiful person." May said. "A lot of players are intimidated by their head coach, but she is so loving, like a mom. All of my teammates are great, too. They have been very friendly and helpful. It helps me to fit in and get acclimated."

Friends recall Perrot's spirit
The Associated Press
HOUSTON — There were tears but little mourning as fans, family and Kim Perrot's Houston Comets teammates both laughed and wept while they relived special moments from the feisty point guard's all-too-short life on Monday.
"I wouldn't be here today if she hadn't fought me," joked a misty-eyed Comete coach Van Chancellor, who recalled for the 1,000 attending the service how he "mis-coached" Perrot their first year together.
He met the 32-year-old Lafayette, La., native two years ago at a Houston high school gym, where he was holding tryouts for the new WNBA franchise. He didn't like what he saw.
"Too wild, too small and too everything." Chancelor said, laughing at how
he underestimated the s-foot's Perrot. He reasserted his mistakes after fans suggested he look at Perrot's ability.
Diagnosed with cancer last February. Perrot died in Houston on Thursday. A private burial in her hometown was scheduled for Tuesday.
"Kim was special. Kim used her gifts to the fullest" said Leslie Alexander, owner of the Houston Comets and the Houston Rockets. "She never gave up on her dreams."
Chancellor said he and Perrot often joked that their great skill was responsible for the success enjoyed by two-time MVP Cynthia Cooper.
Cooper said it was her best friend's generous spirit and love of people that left her mark on the world.
