Charlotte Smith (formerly Smith-Taylor) has retired from pro ball. Smith started for six seasons with the Sting, and one with the Mystics, but came off the bench last year for Indiana.

She can now concentrate on her work as an assistant coach at UNC. As a Tar Heel star in the early Nineties, she won a national championship with a famous last-second three-pointer; she also dunked.

Smith: "It was one of life's most difficult decisions, walking away from something you have known almost all your life."
