When Y/N Winters becomes the new head coach of Superstar Paige Bueckers, what happens when things grow between them? What happens when her girlfriend, Azzi Fudd, is at the top of his Draft Board?

Is there more to Paige and Azzi's friendship then everyone thinks? *I'm not assuming anything. This is all fictional. I will also not be writing any smut in respect to them, but there will be kissing and hickies and stuff* (Also any comments about them that go too far I will be removing. This is all for fun and fictional. I am not trying to force anything or speculate anything. So please leave respectful comments) Thanks @macdemarcoloverr for the idea

Paige Bueckers never planned on falling for her best friend. Not when she's built her whole life on control-on pushing feelings down, on keeping her heart locked tight behind the same walls that protect her on the court. But then there's Azzi Fudd: soft-spoken, steady, brilliant Azzi, who sees straight through her defenses without even trying.

"you know how to ball, I know how to do a doble layout"

Chelsea, a cheerleader at UConn, is used to living in the background of the university's legendary basketball program. But everything changes when she has a chance encounter with the team's star player, Paige Bueckers. What begins as a fleeting moment grows into an unexpected connection, drawing Chelsea into Paige's high-pressure world of fame and glory. As their bond deepens, Chelsea must navigate the challenges of falling for someone constantly in the spotlight, while Paige wrestles with balancing her demanding career and the vulnerability of opening up to someone new. Together, they learn that the strongest teams aren't just formed on the court but in the courage to take risks off it. 🥇 no. 1 - #nikamuhl 🥇 no. 1 - #uconnhuskies 🥇 no. 1 - #uconn 🥇 no. 1 - #paigebueckers 🥇 no. 1 - #aubreygriffin

In her final year at UConn, Paige Bueckers is focused on one thing: leaving it all on the court. With her eyes on a national title and the WNBA draft, distractions are off-limits-until she meets Kendall Brady, the fiercely passionate and sharp-tongued lacrosse coach at nearby Storrs High... and Ice Brady's older sister. Kendall has sworn off athletes-especially the golden girl types with headlines at their feet and a world beyond the gym. But Paige isn't just any athlete. She's kind, relentless, and unexpectedly easy to talk to. What starts as casual run-ins and playful banter quickly turns into stolen moments, late-night phone calls, and something neither of them expected to feel during the most pivotal year of Paige's life. As their connection deepens, so does the pressure-from the media, from Ice, from their careers. Paige has the world watching her next move. Kendall just wants to keep her heart safe. But love, like lacrosse and basketball, doesn't always play by the rules. Will they risk everything for something real... or walk away before the buzzer sounds? ⸻

Dehlilah Rivera is a 5'6" spark plug from Woodlawn, Maryland. Black and Puerto Rican. Tough as nails. Grew up learning to talk with her eyes and protect her heart with sarcasm. She transferred into UConn as an unranked junior, overlooked by scouts, unwanted by her former coach, and rejected by an ex-girlfriend whose family said she was "too hood to be taken seriously." She plays with something to prove. Paige Bueckers? She's college basketball royalty. One of the most famous players in the country. Clean reputation. Press-friendly. Rich Minnesota suburb pedigree. Golden child. All-American. Loved. On paper, they don't match. On court, they don't miss. They're assigned to guard each other at practice-Coach CD's twisted way of keeping both sharp. Dehlilah drives Paige crazy. She talks trash, plays fast, fights for everything. Paige reads the floor like a chessboard, always two plays ahead. They push each other. Challenge each other. Make each other better. And neither of them realizes that they're already falling. Because Paige is completely oblivious to how deep her feelings run. She just thinks it's normal to stare a little too long. To offer her hoodies. To hate when Dehlilah laughs too loud at another teammate's jokes. To feel something primal when someone else touches her. Azzi sees it. KK sees it. Everyone sees it-except Paige. And Dehlilah? She refuses to believe someone like Paige Bueckers could want her. She's been called a mistake before. A phase. A risk. Her emotional walls are steel-plated. But Paige's constant presence starts to chip at them. Her softness feels safe. Her patience feels dangerous. For Paige, no one ever felt like home until Dehlilah. And for Dehlilah, no one ever looked at her like she was somebody's favorite-until Paige.
