Message: [QUOTE="CamrnCrz1974, post: 3363720, member: 1052"] Random aside... The first time I met Coach Charli Turner-Thorne was back in 2001, when she was speaking at a legal seminar, at which I was an attendee (and a new lawyer, in my first year of practice). Since CTT, a point guard, played her collegiate basketball at Stanford for Tara VanDerveer, I asked her what it was like to guard Jennifer Azzi (who was an All-American in college and a future Olympian) in college. Coach Turner-Thorne responded, "Uh, don't you mean what it was like for Jennifer to guard me in practice?" She and I both then laughed, and she talked about playing against great players helped her improve, but also taught her the cerebral portions of the game and how to develop strategies, especially as the lead playmaker. We have kept in touch since here and there, and I have enjoyed the times I have been able to speak with her. [/QUOTE]
