FILE - In this March 10, 2018, file photo, Buffalo head coach Felisha Legette-Jack reacts to a foul call during the second half of an NCAA college basketball game against Central Michigan in the championship of the Mid-American Conference tournament, in Cleveland. Once her coaching career collapsed at Indiana, and Felisha Legette-Jack considered walking away from basketball entirely, she made one promise if ever another opportunity arose. Upon being hired to take over Buffalo's flagging women's basketball program in 2012, Legette-Jack vowed she was going to be her bold, brash, boisterous self rather than attempt fitting someone else's prim and boxy notion of how a coach is supposed to behave. &quot;Yeah, I was afraid to be me,&quot; Legette-Jack told The Associated Press this week.
