(AP) -- Friends, fans and colleagues of North Carolina State women's basketball coach Kay Yow will gather at a church to pay their final respects.

The funeral for the Naismith Hall of Fame inductee is scheduled for Friday afternoon at Colonial Baptist Church in Cary after a public viewing beginning in the morning. Yow will be buried on Saturday in her hometown of Gibsonville, about 70 miles west of Raleigh.

The 66-year-old Yow died one week ago after battling breast cancer for more than two decades.

Yow won 737 games in 38 years -- 34 at N.C. State. She coached the U.S. Olympic team to a gold medal in 1988, won four Atlantic Coast Conference tournament championships, earned 20 NCAA tournament bids and reached the Final Four in 1998.
