NCAA, WNBA

The University of San Francisco will announce their new head coach tomorrow, but rumors are it's Jennifer Azzi.

Lady Vol Vicki Baugh discusses her knee injuries and hopes to coach someday. On a related note, the entire basketball team will sign autographs Saturday before the Tennessee softball game.

Tennessee Associate Head Coach Holly Warlick and UCLA Coach Nikki Caldwell are gearing up for their annual motorcycle ride to benefit breast cancer research. I sure wish they came to the west coast.

Assistant Coach Kellee Barney is leaving the sinking Oregon State University program.

In somewhat breaking news, the Seattle Storm has just announced the signing of Svetlana Abrosimova and the release of Janell Burse. That makes me sad. Burse has been with the Storm forever.

Sparks training camp opens Sunday, and they've put up a page to introduce us to the players who will be trying out. Very interesting.

Ben York of slamonline has an incredible story about how the WNBA helped a young girl battling cancer.

Great interview with Temeka Johnson.

The Sparks "Meet the Newcomers" webpage doesn't include the players' college info, just high school and hometown. Odd.

tj was re-signed on 4/16/10.

frankly, i'm glad to see jb go. if she didn't want to be there, which was somewhat apparent, then she needs to go. just too bad we couldn't get something for her. she pissed me off after the 07 season by not getting shoulder surgery; then by informing the team so late that she was going to sit out the 08 season; now this. good riddance.
