Toppa the mornin’
USA Basketball:
Hoopfeed interviewed Renee Montgomery about her USA Basketball experience this week.
Brittney Griner made a big impression at USA training camp……and the experience seems to have made an even bigger impression on her. This is an impressive statement for a 20-year-old:
“I needed to get another year under my belt,†she said. “I needed to work on different things and get stronger. Get more mature mentally.â€
Too bad more people don’t have those kind of metacognitive skills.
Pro:
Washington’s Alana Beard, who turns 29 today, has had a long journey back from her injury.
Never say never – Diana Taurasi will play in Turkey again next season after all.
Nicole Ohlde has retired.
The Storm’s Ashley Robinson modeled last night at a Seattle fashion show. I hope there are pictures of the event.
College:
Are people really still having trouble getting over the departure of former UCLA coach Nikki Caldwell? One LA columnist says so.
Bonus:
There was a pro women’s team almost 40 years ago called the Red Heads. Love the pictures…….
