Message: [QUOTE="Jmul760170, post: 4238526, member: 2547"] Can I jump in here? Maybe a little perspective on the Gatorade players of the year....selection / process. I always wondered how / why Stephanie White was chosen over Chamique Holdsclaw back in 1995 as Gatorade player of the year. And I must confess, I'm employed by Gatorade. As a huge Purdue, womens, basketball fan, I think I finally got my answer when Stephanie White was a guest speaker at a work gathering, and mentioned her father was employed by Gatorade. Finally made sense to me. Several years later, I worked with another woman who was a Gatorade state player of the year, in another sport, and her father was also an employee of Gatorade's parent company. So I'd venture to say, sometimes there is some local politics at play. [/QUOTE]
