Message: [QUOTE="TheFarmFan, post: 5339917, member: 9403"] I think two things can be true at once: Sandy is one of the most accomplished coaches in the W AND she may not have been the right fit to guide the Liberty in their next phase. Somehow I'm not sold she's not one of the league's best coaches but I also was fairly underwhelmed by the Liberty all season, and her excuses about injuries and "failing to gel" didn't make sense when teams like the Valkyries regularly had 3 of their 5 starters out with injuries, lost 1/3 of the team to Eurobasket, and ended with 6 players who either missed training camp entirely or joined midway through the season on a series of 7 day contracts. Nat never made excuses, the players never made excuses, and the product on the Court actually got better even as the injuries and the rotating cast piled up. Much of the same was true for Phoenix, and they too weathered that storm without any excuses. [/QUOTE]
