Staley, highly recognized as one of the best women’s basketball players ever, was the winningest head coach in Temple’s history. […]

Well, it looks as though we’re not going to be seeing much of Penny Taylor in the WNBA this season.

(First off, the headline choice is shamelessly ripped from my old 4th Floor buddies at the San Antonio Express-News).
Anyway, the San Antonio Silver Stars signed Edwige Lawson-Wade, the starting point guard from the French national team, to a free-agent deal today. Lawson has been playing in Europe and […]

Team USA came back from a double-digit deficit, but they fell just short of Team China 84-81 in the gold medal game of the Good Luck Beijing Tournament.
Katie Smith (16 points), Sylvia Fowles (14 points), Swin Cast (13 points) and Lisa Leslie (10 points, 10 rebounds) gave the world reason to believe Team USA is […]

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.

Unless Candace Parker’s arm falls off between now and the next few minutes, she’ll be the No. 1 pick by the Los Angeles Sparks.
I don’t think you can hold any of LA’s stats last season against them as depleted as their roster was.
12:05 p.m. - I don’t think LA can really waste any time unless […]

Just came upon it and not sure if it’s still going on, but Becky Hammon speaks more about her playing for Team Russia.
Craig, South Dakota: Becky, What did your folks say when you said you were considering playing for the Russians in the olympics?
Becky Hammon: (12:13 PM ET ) My mom gave me a […]
