Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2228333, member: 5798"] Saniya is a UConn product regardless of the round she was selected in. She brought a [B]pedigree[/B], understanding of the game, and a work ethic (demanded by the program) with her that no other draftee this year came with. The Wings's coach Fred Williams recognized it right away. It was reported that he had his eye on Chong during the season. Williams served as an assistant coach at the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Southern_California']University of Southern California[/URL] from 1983 to 1990 and as head coach from 1995 to 1997. Williams coached the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah_Starzz']Utah Starzz[/URL] (now the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Antonio_Stars']San Antonio Stars[/URL]) of the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_National_Basketball_Association']WNBA[/URL] from 1999 to 2001 and later served as an assistant coach with the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlotte_Sting']Charlotte Sting[/URL]. Williams coached the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Diego_Siege']San Diego Siege[/URL] of the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Women%27s_Basketball_League']NWBL[/URL], before joining the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlanta_Dream']Atlanta Dream[/URL] as an assistant coach in 2009. Williams is not a novice, he's been coaching for 33 years. He knows basketball. Don't forget, she only played in 1 preseason game for Dallas before leaving the team to attend UConn's graduation commencement ceremonies. So she must have impressed the staff enough in practice and that 1 game to secure a roster spot. It appears that as the season goes on, she impressing them even more. She'll be even better next year. This year she came into the league wondering if she was good enough to play at this level. Next year she'll come to camp KNOWING she's good enough!!! [/QUOTE]
