First off, a hat tip to the Women’s Hoops Blog for this find.
Ain’t this grand? According to an article in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, season ticket sales for the Storm since the announcement of new ownership for the WNBA franchise, have already exceeded last season’s total. Granted, that has to be a valley since ownership wasn’t […]
So as I told you before, it’s official. The newest WNBA franchise finally has a name, colors and logo.
I was thinking it’d be a blue similar to the Atlanta Hawks, but alas, it’s sky blue with red (lightish red for any of you RedVsBlue fans).

The new Atlanta franchise finally has a name.
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, owner Ron Terwilliger confirmed the new name late Tuesday evening.
“It seems to me it’s a really consistent name with Atlanta and its history,” Terwilliger said.
Atlanta City Council president Lisa Borders, an adviser to the team, agreed.
“The name fits Atlanta so well — from […]
Some NCAA teams will wear pink jerseys and warmups to promote breast cancer awareness in a set of games next month.
According to ESPN.com, NC State, Rutgers, LSU and Georgia are expected to don the hue on Sunday, Feb. 10 as ESPN prepares its tournament coverage with a dry run.
Fans will be encouraged to donate to […]
Well, looks like the city of Seattle’s basketball outlook just keeps getting better and better.
The Daily Telegraph is reporting that Lauren Jackson will play in the WNBA this season, taking only a short break (five games, apparently) to prepare for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.
It was suggested the Australian captain might sit out the WNBA […]
(And $500 million.)
One man feels the NBA owes him some respect, some recognition and what I mentioned above (well, I’m not certain about the “N”) and damned if he’s not suing to get it.
Lightning Mitchell (yeah) has filed a lawsuit in federal court claiming the National Basketball Association stole his idea for a women’s basketball […]
Tuesday came and went without any new agreement on the WNBA’s collective bargaining agreement, which means teams still cannot sign free agents.
The start of the signing period has been pushed back indefinitely while negotiations are hammered out.
It’s still not so bad… yet. There’s still a decent amount of time between now and the end of […]
Adding to the new faces coming to Los Angeles, the Sparks hired former NBA player Larry Smith as an assistant coach.
Smith shared the floor with Sparks head coach Michael Cooper in the NBDL when the Albuquerque Thunderbirds won the league’s title.
This adds to the list of Lisa Leslie and likely No. 1 draft pick Candace […]
I came across an interesting article in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram today and I thought I’d pass it along. The writer has two reasons why there’s a lot less parity in the women’s game versus the men’s, and they’re good reasons, albeit known ones if you invest a little time thinking about it.
Women stay in […]
Only because they love having 11 a.m. press conferences, the Seattle Storm will reportedly hire Brian Alger as their new head coach.
Alger, an assistant coach with the San Antonio Silver Stars, previously was head coach of the Minnesota Lynx from 1999-2002.
Oh, yeah, the team got sold to a local ownership group, too.
