The fan following of Iowa’s sensation Caitlin Clark now knows no bounds. The NCAA’s all-time scorer keeps getting applauded and admired for her tremendous college basketball feats. Her accomplishments also reflect the fact that her talent has been coached to perfection.

Following this chain of thought, Colorado Buffs’s football team coach Deion Sanders tried his luck to further hone the skills of the 6 ft point guard. However, it was not in the way that everyone was expecting it to be.

Popular talk show host Jimmy Fallon had the legendary Deion Sanders on the Tonight Show recently. On talking about his coaching capacities, Fallon wanted to know whether Sanders would fancy his chances with college basketball’s all-time leader. Without wasting much time, the two-time SWAC accepted the challenge. After this, Fallon put forth a cardboard cutout featuring Caitlin Clark. Sanders then went ahead, saying, “Caitlin baby girl. Let me tell you something. We coming down the home stretch. This is going to be your last dance and guess what I need you to finish strong.”

The celebrated coach was referring to Clark’s decision to turn pro next season. Like so many of her fans, Sanders was gunning for her to go all the way and end up winning the national championships this time around. He further added, “I don’t care what they think about the WNBA. I know what you’re capable of and I want you to go out there and lead like you never led before. I want you to go dominate like you never dominated before. And, unapologetically girl, I want you to be you.”

Meanwhile, there’ve also been talks on how Clark’s meteoric rise in popularity will impact the WNBA.
