Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Saturday, March 31, 2007

On the eve of the Final Four, Cleveland's paper of record covers the pros: what does the league need?

Stacey Dales says it: "We need a longer season."

Sue Bird: "The WNBA still has the most talent... If the WNBA paid [as well as] European teams do, [the length of the season] wouldn't even be a question," because all the American players, and half the best foreign ones, would turn down overseas gigs to play here.

Also in Cleveland: draft camp. Wurst has been watching the camp teams' pickup games, coached by Teresa Edwards and Sandy Brondello: Vandy PG Dee Davis, Wurst writes, "was the best player on the floor." (She even took some shots.)

Also in Cleveland: Billie Jean King.
