Today's transactions.......

May 15

The Washington Mystics signed Jessica Breland
The San Antonio Silver Stars waived Kalisha Keane
The Connecticut Sun waived Dawn Evans
The Tulsa Shock waived Amber Hold and Shanna Zolman

The league really needs to form a couple of expansion teams. This is ridiculous, and will only get worse by Thursday, when final cuts are due.

NCAA:

The Black Coaches and Administrators have named South Carolina Coach Dawn Staley their female coach of the year.

Louisville's Tia Gibbs and Monique Reid have been granted medical hardship waivers, and will return next season.

Baylor center Brittney Griner is still on cloud nine.

Tennessee Tech Coach Sytia Messer has resigned to be associate head coach at Georgia Tech.

Coach Suzie McConnell-Serio has been given a four-year extension at Duquesne.

Former Saint Louis University coach Shimmy Gray-Miller will be an assistant coach at Nebraska, where she will coordinate recruiting.

Legends:

How Ann Meyers Drysdale played like a girl and won.

Rutgers Coach C. Vivian Stringer always makes time for community service.

Seimone Augustus:

Lynx forward Seimone Augustus is marrying her longtime girlfriend next summer. I can't think of another out WNBA player since Michelle Van Gorp, and Sue Wicks before her. Very courageous.

Edit to add: Someone just told me Ann Wauters of the Storm is out, but I hadn't heard that.

I hadn't realized that Ann Wauters is out. Discreetly.

How could you have forgotten Sheryl Swoopes or Loree Moore who actually married her female significant other two years ago?

Both of these women actually came out publicly, while some of the others, like Sue Wicks, are much lower profile.
