COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio State coach Jim Foster spent 11 years at Vanderbilt battling the women’s basketball juggernaut just 160 or so miles away that is mighty Tennessee.
He gets to renew old acquaintances again on Saturday when his Buckeyes meet the Lady Vols and coach Pat Summitt in a regional semifinal game in Dayton, Ohio.
It doesn’t sound as if he’s missed bumping heads with his old nemesis.
Asked this week what his relationship with Tennessee and its legendary coach was during his tenure at Vandy, he hesitated a full 12 seconds before finally saying, “No love lost.”
Foster said he didn’t have any bright orange clothes in his closet and even said he wouldn’t eat orange M&Ms because they didn’t taste as good as the other colors.
