Yesterday, Maryland suffered its first loss in the season’s first four games. Given that the Terps are playing nine underclassmen on their active 10-player roster, it’s probably best to think of it as a learning exercise.
I wasn’t planning on posting another blog about how I felt Chicago Sky Head Coach Steve Key utilized (or failed to utilize) rookie Kristi Toliver during the2009 WNBA season. But two things happened:
It’s that time of year again, when the wheat is separated from the chaff and arbitrary picks need to be made from those golden grains. That’s right, time for the WNBA individual award picks.
With the 2009 WNBA regular season now concluded, it’s a good time to pause, reflect, and anticipate.
How to determine winners in multi-team leagues is always difficult. Someone is bound to be irked.
It’s become clear that the Chicago Sky and Kristi Toliver haven’t exactly had the most ideal of campaigns in 2009. Seems to me like Head Coach and GM Steve Key erred on draft day.
During the 2009 WNBA All-Star game, the 2010 class of inductees into the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame was announced. Among the list of six honorees was a woman it was my pleasure to get to know in the ’80s: Former University of Maryland Head Coach Chris Weller.
Now that the All-Star break is at hand, a few quick thoughts about the season so far.
I’ve been a women’s sports fan since the 70s. I’ve also been annoyed by the misogyny of media, politicians, and even religions toward these sports. If the playing field is never going to be level, then maybe the ladies should change the rules of the game.
