Two WNBA franchises now have their head coaches, we officially begin the college basketball season and how a Red Rocks concert made me think about a broader discussion in women's hoops...
Not that I'm totally surprised, as everything involving Caitlin Clark makes people lose their minds, but it is funny to me that people are now litigating Steph White's coaching ability. She literally took a team that just lost Finals MVP Jonquel Jones and couldn't shoot to the semifinals in her first year and won Coach of the Year! At the bare minimum, she'll improve Indiana defensively and assuming the offense they had this year continues (which is will, and will likely be even better with AB and CC having an entire offseason to train), that alone is enough to make them a contender
Agreed. At the same time, I will give that side of the argument grace when Annie (who I respect immensely as a reporter) is saying on TV that folks believe she's the next Cheryl Reeve. It's just entirely too hyperbolical on both ends but that sells, I guess!
Ah yeah, I didn't realize that's what folks are saying on the other side - agreed with you that is extremely hyperbolic. Again, nobody can be normal about CC! I guess that's what comes with a superstar but damn
What's the deal with Dallas? That seems to be the best way to phrase this question. The Wings only get a blurb here and there in the blogs. Just odd drafts, personnel moves, cryptic departures (Satou?), weird Charlotte Bobcats vibes. Dallas has the right to swap picks w/CHI so their odds for the top pick are great, but I worry the commissioner's wearing an "I Love LA" sweater to the draft lottery.
love NCS so much!! consider this me *buying you all a drank*
