Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 2774662, member: 26"] In hindsight, I'm very glad Jenny Boucek was fired. Clearly the wrong person for the job. I get that Seattle was rebuilding, but she was dreadful. 36-58 record. Had no idea how to properly use KML. Bird was languishing. Loyd was a backup PG (granted they had no one else, but awful use of her talents). I get that they have rookies Canada and Russell this year, but that's not one of the top reasons the team is doing so well. Although, adding Natasha Howard was huge. She finally found the right team and right coach to showcase her talents. In the past, the starters would get a decent lead, then the entire bench would come in, squander it, get behind, and the team would struggle the rest of the game. All you have to do is listen to Bird's comments about Hughes "he lets us be us - he's not trying to reinvent". Clearly a stark contract to Bucek, who in hindsight, was probably even worse than people thought as a HC... [/QUOTE]
