Shea Ralph Speaking About Diana Taurasi

[YoDore]

Coach Ralph holds a press gathering once a week in the practice facility. Today, someone asked her thoughts on Diana Taurasi, and I thought UConn fans would enjoy her remarks. The DT portion starts at about 3:30 if you want to skip ahead.

For the record, I think Diana is the greatest women's basketball player I've ever seen.

Shea will always be my favorite UConn player. She’s so incredibly well spoken and intelligent. I really liked her answer, especially the comment about the difficulties for Shea of climbing a set of stairs and the comparison to Diana’s longevity. It’s a testament to the sacrifices that athletes make to play a game that they love and how amazing it is that Diana did it for so long.
