NORMAN, Okla. (AP) Three years into her college career, Amanda Thompson is used to doing the dirty work for Oklahoma's Basketball team.

Playing alongside All-America center Courtney Paris and her twin sister, Ashley, it has been Thompson's job to do all the little things to keep the Sooners on a winning track.

She was second on the team in assists and steals and third in rebounds and blocks last season as Oklahoma went to its second Final Four. With the Paris twins now gone, coach Sherri Coale is calling on Thompson to be a "chameleon" again.

Coale expects Thompson to slide over to the power forward position, where she'll be able to play inside and outside as the Sooners return to the motion offense.

Thompson says she won't be a post player or a guard. She'll be both.
