I keep wondering - could you imagine a coaching tandem of her and Sue Bird at UCONN once Geno retires (in about 15 years!!)...I generally don't read comments and Twitter responses, but they were overwhelmingly positive for DT. She has that rare of combination of intelligence and humor that would make her a perfect analyst.
I know she's expressed interest in coaching after her playing days are done, but selfishly I want her to go into broadcasting.

Wow! She is so damn impressive. She's charismatic, a wonderful communicator, supremely confident, with a powerful, engaging presence. To the extent that it's possible, I think Diana truly understands Geno and how he does the things that he does to make UConn the best program ever in WCBB, probably better than anyone
I always thought of Nykesha Sales as the most athletic guy out there. When DT was still at UCONN they played one of those "quickie" all-star teams in a preseason game, and Sales was on that all-star team. Diana was guarding Nykesha part of the time, and DT just absolutely smothered her - just stuffed her one-on-one, almost to the point of humiliation. I felt badly for Nykesha. I was thinking Sales must be past her prime, but she's still playing ball in Europe now, and this was more than 10 years ago - she must have been IN her prime then. Anyway my point is the GOAT actually is "fairly" athletic, regardless if she claims it's all experience & cunning.- I do take exception to one of her comments: "I'm the least athletic guy out there in the WNBA ..." Yeah, ok, D.
athletic seems to mean run fast, jump high, fill the passing lanes to steal the ball... glide to the basket for a layup, quick reflexes etc. (I think). smothering someone defensively doesn't equal athletic
The way in which it was done looked athletic to me. Subjective I guessathletic seems to mean run fast, jump high, fill the passing lanes to steal the ball... glide to the basket for a layup, quick reflexes etc. (I think). smothering someone defensively doesn't equal athletic
Articulate, bright, knowledgable, savvy and funny. Diana, don't worry about employment after you are finished playing. You have what it takes in whatever you decide to do, whether coaching or media commentating.
