I've heard Stephanie White will be the next coach.
Christie Sides will probably fill one of the vacant positions in the league. (Maybe she will return to Atlanta?)

Back then, the play-offs ended before the start of NFL. They had to compete with only MLB regular season and light college football schedule. Because the league added more teams and the season has been extended, now the play-offs take place in a more crowded calendar.
I think the finals could get more viewers if they took place a week after the World Series. But that would conflict with the start of NBA season. And many teams share their arenas with NBA teams, so it will create a scheduling nightmare. (By nature, you cannot plan play-off games in advance. You don't know which teams will need their arena.)

The biggest problem with women’s basketball is that it’s played at a different part of the year as men’s.
That crap sport is played all year.
Both should be played at the same time and legislation passed that mandates that all basketball’s be deflated in April.

Besides the difficulty of sharing arenas with the men I wonder if the schedule (mid April through September) was set up to allow the WNBA players to play in Europe (mid September through early April).

whats the story with this Unrivaled League? they are really pushing hard to sign Clark who seems reticent. now saying they want to make her a "Messi-like" offer whatever that means. shes already turned down an offer of more than a million with equity and revenue sharing incentives. so they just signed her buddy Kate Martin as incentive. will she bite? she sure doesnt need the money.

As expected, Connecticut "parted ways" with White.

They just added Lexi Hull (and Aaliyah Edwards). They have one spot left.

re: Unrivaled trying to sign CC... she's probably aware that, as Fyre Fest showed us, promises aren't binding even if the contracts technically are. The backing could disappear and the league could quickly go under. Never mind if the facilities and the media coverage isn't what they claim it's going to be.
The whole thing probably looks like a flash in the pan waste of her time until it shows over a season or two that it's not. And even then, if CC's getting enough money just from playing a WNBA schedule and sponsorships, then she doesn't need the money anyway.

Boston is the 30th player. However, it has been also announced that there will be 36 players.

Syla Swords! 27/12 out of the gate against South Carolina no less. almost pulled off the upset single handedly against the top team in the country while the rest of her team shot under 30%. I guess Americans now know what Canadians have known for a while. and if shes legit what does that mean for her Maple Leaf buddy Fournier? theyve had the poor kid on a dunk count down since she announced for Duke. exciting times north of the border for womens basketball these days...
