I am a huge Phoenix Mercury fan. Don't know who they are? Only the fastest WNBA team out there. They are the consummate underdogs - historically the underdogs, just missing the playoffs. One of the things that makes them a great team is that they don't give up.

In the previous seasons, we had quite a bit of staffing turnover. He stopped that. He brought back staff who had done well. He brought in a fan favorite, Bridget Pettis and let her play for a little while, then jumped her to assistant coach. Bridget was always a spark plug - now she gets to be the lead spark plug.
