Message: [QUOTE="cancontent, post: 3994098, member: 10709"] Response to Point 2. Auriemma is listed as a special advisor for the committee that selected the team. Unfortunately, people are still going to have a perception of bias if it fits the narrative they want it to be. It's already being bandied about on Twitter and other social media feeds as we speak. No matter who gets selected for the Team USA, there will always be people who aren't happy with the selection. That's the gift and curse of having such a deep pool of talent to pick from. Response to Point 3. If I recall what I've read correctly, Taurasi believes she'll be ready to play as of this week. Nneka is possible 1 - 2 weeks away, making it possibly mid-July before Team USA knows if she's good to go. That's a really tight timeline and with the injury being knee related, a hard call to make when you want everyone as healthy as possible. [/QUOTE]
