Ragle back in Nutmeg State with Sun

"It was, kind of, a fluke," Ragle said. "I decided to take the offseason off after the Liberty season ended to go home and spend time with my family (in Alabama). I was home for maybe a week when I got the news that the team was being sold. I would call them every week, 'What's going on? What's going on? What's going on?' You never know what's going to happen. I kept calling. Then the Connecticut Sun job opened up and the next thing I know it's the end of January and I'm here doing interviews. It just seemed like ... it's Connecticut. I spent 18 years at UConn and it felt good to come home."

Need her back with UCONN.

Need her back with UCONN.

Agreed there is also no reason that she can't do both jobs because the season schedules do not overlap.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Need her back with UCONN.

No, we don't need her back. But as part of 10 NC teams she sure would be welcomed home. She's world class.

Why did she leave? I forget the reason - does the WNBA pay more than a college team like UCONN for athletic trainers?

Rosemary is the straw that stirs the drink. NC #12 is waiting for her.

In addition to being the Liberty's trainer she worked at the Hospital for Special Surgery in NY City. FWIW they claim to be the US News & World Report's #1 orthopedic hospital in the nation 8 years in a row.

This per Rosemary at the time was the opportunity she couldn't pass up. Broader exposure/experience. Hopefully she got out of it what she wanted.
