Message: [QUOTE="bbsamjj, post: 2690454, member: 1738"] A fair reservation to have. While Swoopes may have crashed and burned, Cynthia Cooper was actually a "decent" college coach (220-163 career record, took Prairie View A&M to two NCAA tournaments and USC to one). Stephanie White hasn't succeeded at Vandy yet, but she did lead the Fever to a WNBA finals (how much of that is simply having Catchings on the team is a fair question.) Sandy Brondello has been a better than avg. coach for the Mercury. Will be interesting to see how Katie Smith fares with the Liberty. Coquese Washington started out strong at PSU but has faded since. Unlike Minnesota's hiring of Whalen, Tina Thompson does have high-level college coaching experience and I would expect great recruiting contacts. Will be interesting to see how she fares and what staff she hires. [/QUOTE]
