Message: [QUOTE="MSGRET, post: 4746545, member: 8506"] FIBA had their EuroBasket Women's Tournament from 06/15 to 06/25 with games in Israel and Slovenia with 16 teams participating. Many of those teams had tryouts in mid to late May for the tournament, which Gabby was not able to participate in the tryouts or the tournament because of the WNBA rules. France by the way finished in 3rd place. Every UConn player got better treatment at UConn vs the W. They traveled on charter planes to their away games, had access to facilities with dedicated practice gym, weight room, treatment and rehab facility with the best medical assistance. Some of the WNBA teams do not have any of this and none of them travel via charter flights. For Gabby she is better off playing in France so that she is able to participate with the National team when they have team practice in preparation for the Olympics and other FIBA tournaments.
