Well deserved. Like him or not, he can coach. I do think he needs the right mix of players, but, when he has them, he wins.

I believe his performance in the past WNBA draft makes him the COY.

Brondello, of Phoenix, would be my runner up. She took a team that went the entire season without Dee, and made them a title contender. Just imagine if Dee had played this year...

can't lose with UConn players on the roster

1. Mike Thibault should have gotten some votes but I agree with Laimbeer. MT took a team with no superstar players to the playoffs and a winning record. The Mystics destroyed NY last game but NY should be favored in their series.

Penny Taylor took the summer off with Dee too - that's 40% of last year's championship starting lineup. And last night they looked like they could win it all again without those two (although they were playing Skylar-less Tulsa).

Plus, without Glory Johnson, who is also taking the summer off.

And, as mentioned in the article, he was instrumental in drafting Boyd and Stokes in last years WNBA draft.
