This is a few days old, but it looks like Moody and Fennelly weren't able to work through their differences in the end.

Back home in Texas, Moody prepares for WNBA draft
A few days after the Iowa State women’s basketball season wrapped up, Nikki Moody decided to leave campus and head to her home to Texas.
The senior, who was named All-American honorable mention, didn’t feel welcome at the practice facility anymore. The program’s all-time assist leader said she no longer even had a locker like previous WNBA draft prospects did for a month or two after the season, so the player who butted heads with coach Bill Fennelly for four years packed her belongings and headed south.
“It didn’t feel like I’d been there four years anymore,” the Dallas native said. “So I just decided I’d rather go where I’m comfortable.”
While she may continue a tradition of Cyclones in the draft, Moody doesn’t seem to think her relationship with ISU will be extensive going forward.
“Compared to previous players like Hallie and (Poppens), who have connections to Iowa State, I don’t think mine will be like that,” she said. “I’ll come back for some of the girls, some of the freshmen I’m real close with. But overall, I don’t think I’m going to be up there that much.”
