We’ve talked before about Nothing But Nets, but now, with World Malaria Day happening today, the San Antonio Silver Stars and WNBA are helping out with trying to provide mosquito nets for families in Africa.
This is a big program for the Stars’ Ruth Riley, so if you’re so inclined, a $10 donation will purchase a […]

While perusing for training camp fodder, I came across this little nugget.
Starting this season, the MSG network will stream 26 New York Liberty games this season. Hopefully, (since they’re apparently using Microsoft Silverlight), it goes better than MLB.TV did for me during Opening Week.
This will be great for you fans who don’t get regular broadcasting […]

With the NBA voting to allow a move for the Seattle Sonics, the Seattle Times has a timely feature about the fight and success to keep the WNBA’s Seattle Storm in town.
“Force 10″ is the exact point when bad weather officially becomes a storm.
And the group has been in the midst of one since finalizing […]

She might have put the Silver Stars over the top last season, but an ACL injury shortened her season. Now, WNBA.com sits with Erin Buescher to find out how her rehab is coming.
“I’m getting there… I’m getting there. I don’t think you’re ever 100 percent until you’re back and used to playing […]

It’s been a week since Becky Hammon announced her intention to play for the Russian National Team in the 2008 Olympics, and there’s been a bit of reaction, which certainly can’t hurt the sport since it’s garnering larger mainstream media attention — but not much.

Candace Parker, the 2008 WNBA Rookie of the Year (yeah, I said it) and Tennessee Lady Vols coach Pat Summitt took home two more awards to cap off a pretty outstanding week.
Parker won her second consecutive John Wooden Award as the most outstanding player in women’s college basketball. Summitt received the Legends in Coaching award, […]

As I touched upon last month, Becky Hammon is going to play for Russia in the 2008 Olympics.
From what Becky told the Associated Press, she’d have played for USA if given the chance to compete, but you can’t really fault her for wanting to play for Team Russia […]

I came across this article from India about Geethu Anna Jose, a 6-foot-1 center who’s apparently getting interest from some of the WNBA teams, according to an article in the Hindustan Times. It’s an interesting read about a woman from a league that doesn’t get much play when you consider the leagues around the world.

When I first got the alert this afternoon, I realized something was kind of fishy for a coach/GM to resign at this part of the off-season. Your first thoughts are either major personal problems or some kind of impropriety.
