How the new owners keep Storm in Seattle
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 the purchase in February. The first announcement of Force 10 Hoops LLC was naming Brian Agler its coach/director of player personnel to replace Anne Donovan, who quit in November 2007. Agler was originally selected by Bennett under the guidance of Karen Bryant, chief executive officer of the Storm.
Then, having only four players under contract, the group made a bevy of signings that brought a rebirth of excitement to the community after three consecutive years of first-round playoff ousters.
Now the Storm has headliners like Sheryl Swoopes, Yolanda Griffith and Swin Cash to complement mainstays Sue Bird, Lauren Jackson and Janell Burse.
A long read, but well worth it.
