Message: [QUOTE="JellyBean, post: 5036815, member: 1997"] Pretty good conversation. Both coaches brought a lot to the conversation. The WNBA has always been physical, just ask Rebecca Lobo. Her first season, it was not easy for her or any player for that matter out there. Their take on the transfer portal was a bit much. Folks have always transferred from college to college. Just now with so much coverage, it has been a focal point. I am glad that they, and other coaches, are not changing the way they coach and approach the game. The rise of the WNBA is because of a host of factors. Caitlin and Reese are apart of those factors but the coaches were right. The game is going to evolve because of social media and more games/programs are getting that airspace. Decades ago, those of us that have been followin the game a long time, programs like the Lady Vols got the attention on TV, especially on the national media side of things. A lot really depended on your area. For me in the Midwest (Minnesota) we got the Lady Vols on TV and the Gophers on radio. Never a TV game. The WNBA is only going to get better and will be forced to expand their teams because of the likes of Clark, Reese, Juju, Paige, A'ja, Aliyah, and so many other players currently on rosters and those talented players that are in college and on these high school teams. A wealth of talent is on the horizon and the WNBA is only going to get better and grow. But this was a great conversation. I love listening to those two coaching greats. [/QUOTE]
