On the WNBA front Brondello and Reeves have multiple championships and deserve respect and admiration. The w has a new wave of head coaches and I include Tibbets in that group. Brondello has been criticized for not winning more titles with the talent she's coached. While it's very hard to take it all the way I suppose I can see that criticism. Once healthy Phoenix according to some on the board has this high level of talent on the roster and a great deal of depth Working from the same assumptions of the criticism of Brondello should Nate be criticized if he doesn't bring home multiple trophies with a group that includes Olympians, a great undiscovered shooting talent, and a revolutionary three-point shooting scheme? Nate Tibbetts may end up as a great coach. Thinking back to 2014 when Sandy Brondello led the Merc to the championship I was impressed immediately with her unique combination of coaching high-level talent and connecting with the community. Tibbetts may indeed scale these heights. I think my skepticism initially and moving forward was a selection process that seem to exclusively focus on a type of background with an emphasis on the NBA as well as coaching the male side of the sport. With the exception of high school Tibbetts has coached men. Now I know Geno has a philosophy that it's all players and that may very well be the case going forward in the w. We'll see. Am I the only one who has speculated that the Merc job might well be a stepping stone? [/QUOTE]
