Message: [QUOTE="eebmg, post: 2186445, member: 7548"] An interesting article on the business aspects and history of the Connecticut Sun [URL="http://www.hartfordbusiness.com/article/20170508/PRINTEDITION/305049931/1043"]CT Sun center of casino’s entertainment universe[/URL] Below are some specific quotes on the value Morgan Tuck brings to the team and the organization. "Tuck, a former All-American whom the Sun drafted third overall in the 2016 WNBA draft has been an invaluable contributor to the team on and off the court, said team Vice President Amber Cox, hired last December from the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury, to oversee marketing and other business activities for the Sun and the Black Wolves. Tuck mostly came off the bench her rookie season, averaging 7 points and 2.8 rebounds in 26 games before a late-season knee injury. It's the accessibility to fans by players like Tuck that has made the WNBA successful, Etess said. According to Tuck, who has been unable to play since last August, working in the team's front office, leading the team's community basketball clinics, even manning phones to solicit season ticketholders, allowed her to stay close to the game and CT Sun Nation. "I loved it,'' Tuck said. "I got to go out and meet with the community a little bit more.'' "My dream job is to be a general manager,'' she said of her post-basketball goal. "It's cool to see this side that you don't when you're a player.'' [/QUOTE]
