The Truth About Chris Holtmann's Wife Lori Bedi

Chris Holtmann met Lori Bedi at Taylor University in Indiana, according to IndyStar, where they were both working as hall directors. Holtmann wasn't particularly interested in this gig; he was simply doing it because part of his coaching job at the time demanded it of him. So in meetings, he'd sketch out basketball plays. The distraction annoyed some of the other hall directors, one of whom was Bedi herself.

But Bedi didn't stay annoyed for long. Hilariously, she had never seen a college basketball game before dating Holtmann, she told the Indianapolis Business Journal in 2015. In fact, their first date was at a sports bar in Muncie, Ind., so that they could watch a game. Either by default or osmosis, Bedi became a basketball fan.

The duo married on Sept. 11, 1999 which, she told the IBJ, is "the worst anniversary in the world." The duo share a daughter, Nora Jane, who "is probably going to be a more music or art kind of girl" rather than a basketball aficionado, Bedi said. While Bedi is obviously happy, she had some honest words about being married to a basketball coach. Here's what she said.
