" Hughes announced his retirement as coach of the San Antonio Stars before the 2016 WNBA season.
But there were moments during the season when he reconsidered his decision, mostly based on one player — former UConn guard Moriah Jefferson, who averaged 13.9 points and 4.2 points as a rookie with San Antonio.
"She gave me reasons to rethink that because she was that much fun," said Hughes, who worked as a color commentator on the Syracuse-UConn broadcast for ESPN2 Monday night. "I was just amazed by her. Not only the player, the talent, but the way she adapted so quickly. The conversations I would have with her reminded me of a much older player."
