An intrepid Wall Street Journal reporter writing a story about the 25th anniversary of the first ever dunk in women's NCAA history has finally managed to find the only tape of the historic slam. It was kept under wraps for years by a coach who apparently had his panties in the biggest wad ever over the incident.
ESPN has a profile today of Georgann Wells, who, at nearly 6' 7" tall, played for the University of West Virginia in the 80's. The dunk came in a game against the University of Charleston team, whose coach sat his jealous ass on the tape, which was found after his death in '99.
Footage of the dunk comes around 3:55. It's fuzzy and far away, but you can totally see Wells owning it.
