Can’t begin to express how special last night was getting inducted into the 25 year club at the school ive coached at since I was in college. Here’s the speech I gave in two parts which serves as a thank you to all the teachers I had there
- So Geno mentioned how UConn lost a preseason closed scrimmage. The team that beat them was @CULionsWBB by a point.
- Great story from the GOAT to me on her relationship with @MichaelPhelps
- The @nyliberty had a moment of silence before the game for Courtney Vandersloot's mom Jan, who passed away over the weekend after battling cancer for the last two years.
- And here’s video from the other day when @monyenwere_ found out she was the @AP_Sports rookie of the year. Thanks to @nyliberty for the video
- The @WNBA confirmed that @sabrina_i20 and @CaitlinClark22 were invited for 3-point contest and declined participating. Ionescu is taking part in the Olympic camp which is getting ready for the Paris Games.
- Good news for @WNBA rookies. They will get health benefits starting Friday. Usually those don't come until training camps open.
- WNBA announcing Philadelphia Detroit and Cleveland as expansion cities. Cleveland starts in 2028 Detroit 2029 and Philadelphia in 2030.
- I've been part of the AP Awards for 12 years now. This was the coolest way I've seen a team let a player know they won. Kudos to @IowaWBB for pulling it off on @GustafsonMeg10BREAKING: Iowa's @GustafsonMeg10 is The AP women's college basketball player of the year. Gustafson helped the Hawkeyes reach the Elite Eight for the first time since 1993 and led the nation in scoring for the second consecutive year. by @DougFeinberg: apne.ws/ORlooLZ
- Such a sad story to add to an awful one: first call in 4 months between Cherelle Griner and @brittneygriner was supposed to be on 4-year wedding anniversary Saturday. Never happened because US Embassy was unstaffed to put call through. With @etuckerAP
- AP Source: @WNBA to pay @breannastewart as an ambassador for the league since @seattlestorm suspended her to free up roster spot. League will pay Stewart in excess of her $65,000 base salary she would have earned this year
