New Dishin & Swishin Podcast: Stefanie Dolson on USA Basketball, the WNBA, UConn & Spartak

[DishNSwish]

Stefanie Dolson was a freshman the year Dishin & Swishin host David Siegel started covering the University of Connecticut’s women’s basketball program. Even as a freshman, on a team with future WNBA players Maya Moore, Tiffany Hayes, Kelly Faris and fellow freshman Bria Hartley, Dolson’s good-natured, fun-loving attitude was refreshing and fun.

Dolson joins Dishin & Swishin this week as she readies to leave for Russia. Some of the topics covered include:

• Playing for USA Basketball, now and in the past
• Thoughts on the UConn/USA Basketball conspiracy theorists
• Rookie season in the WNBA, improving her game
• Being out of school for the first time as classes begin
• Going overseas, fears and excitement

I'm gonna miss talking to Stef around UConn games this year!

Cool interview! I've been busy with hunting and fishing so haven't paid too much attention to WBB lately. Keep the great interviews coming this next college BB season!

 

[DishNSwish]

Thank you very much! We got a lot of hits from here for this one, but I was really surprised we didn't get more comments!

 

[Striper69]

Still looking for a Shoni Schimmel interview though...ha ha!

Sure am gonna miss Stef

I'm gonna miss talking to Stef around UConn ...

I've got an idea for you, David - why don't you interview Stef's replacements - Kiah Stokes and Stephanie Butler? I, for one, would appreciate an early interview with Butler.

Is Stephanie Butler Natalie's twin sister from Virginia or is Wonkster really Mike Patrick's boneyard name??

It is a good suggestion though...even if I don't have a butler (but I want one...c'mon powerball!!!!)
