While coaching for Texas A&M at the time, Carter paired pink leather pants with a white turtleneck and clear heels. Surprisingly, her game day attire was widely criticized on social media. On the latest episode of Small Doses With Amanda Seales, Carter says she was actually shocked by the comments surrounding her outfit.

“It definitely surprised me because I have been posting my photos since the year before, when I first got the job at A&M,” says Carter. “So this wasn’t anything new I was doing.
