Fever promote from within; name Dunn head coach

Before anything, I’d like to thank Kori for filling in for me these past few days. I had to leave to Minnesota on business and Kori stepped to the plate for me and you, keeping the site fresh.
So while I’m sitting in the MSP airport last night getting some final browsing in before my plane […]

While it might have been fun to watch…

Paul Westhead is not, repeat, not interested in coaching the Seattle Storm.
You can see why he was asked, though (and not just because those reporters in Seattle know what they’re doing, either), since he was the coach of last season’s WNBA champion Phoenix Mercury.
The only problems is that he already coaches Seattle. Well, assistant coach. […]

Anne Donovan resigns, must not like Oklahoma City

Is Lauren Jackson the woman’s Jordan?

Yes, says Andrew Gaze.
Gaze, widely recognized as Australia’s best basketballer, said the two-time WNBA MVP is producing in the women’s game as Michael Jordan did in the men’s game. Of course, the caveat here is that very few people know it — something Gaze acknowledges.

WNBA Photo of the Year contest

In addition to working as a print and web journalist, I’m also starting to learn photojournalism. I just bought a nice Nikon DSLR last week and have been trying to get used to it more and more. Anyway, I saw this over at WNBA.com and thought you’d like to join in.
Which are your favorite photos? […]

Fourteen questions and answers about the Seattle arena

From The Seattle Times, 14 questions about the arena situation plaguing the city of Seattle along with the Storm and Sonics.
Some highlights:

Q: Why isn’t a KeyArena remodel acceptable to Bennett?
