Lindsay Whalen is diving into her dual jobs as Lynx guard and Gophers coach

Sounds exhausting. I hope she's successful at both.

“I want to push these women to have a great experience,” Whalen said. “To do things they didn’t think they could do. Because Cheryl and Geno [Auriemma, her Olympics coach] and Coach Thibault did that for me. I want them to get their degree, to run out onto Williams Arena when it’s sold out. I had that, and I want my players to have that. Beyond that? Elite Eights, Finals Fours? Championships? Everybody wants that. But if we have the culture, a team with players who are good to each other? These are the building blocks.”

I mean how hard would it be to coach Gophers. All the really do is just burrow around under ground.

I don't know, it could be pretty hard just due to the logistical challenge of monitoring their underground activity.

You have a point, but that pales in comparison to guarding Lynx's. Not only are they so silent and stealthy as to be almost invisible, if they ever felt like leaving would you want to try to stop them.
