Wow!
Gosh, there may now be two people in LA that don't have my disdain.

only two year contract?
refresh my memory, west coasters. Why was he fired from SC? I remember it being somewhat ugly, wasn't it?
Also, I thought I remember he and Mike don't even talk; didn't he bail on his wife and kid?

For once I vote for Leslie...this has the makings of a disaster.
You think maybe Karleen saw the handwriting on the wall and didn't even want to be an assistant in LA?

| Believe me when I tell you, Karleen is one of a few people happy to be out of LA right now. They just hired someone who is completely different than Cooper in every way. Coop understood his team very well and catered to the fact that they were self motivated veterans. He stressed enjoying the game and being together on and off the court and so did Karleen and Ryan once he left. Hiring Bibby is like taking them off of a beach in St. Barts and putting them in Antarctica. Any advantage they had in signing Holdsclaw, Bibby just negated it and brought them back to the pack. I give it a month before Lisa's emulating Stacey Dales Schuman and saying she can't work with this man. I hope Nikki signs a 1 year deal. Bibby doesn't understand the difference between discipline and just being a straight up a$$hole. |

I agree. I don't think he will realize that the members of the team are supposed to be grownups.
Maybe he'll surprise me, but I'm not counting on it.

I guess Miko will be moping on the bench again, she was finally alive last season (supporting her teammates).

Bob Webb, the girls' basketball coach at Montclair Prep High of Panorama City, has been hired as an assistant coach for the WNBA's Sparks. Webb is friends with new Sparks coach Henry Bibby, with whom he played at UCLA in the early 1970s. An official announcement is expected to be made today. ...
huh?
that's pretty much it, but it's here:

| Hey, didn't the Sparks already try the prep-to-pro coaching thing with Julie Rousseau? Yeah, I know, this guy's an assistant, but come ON! Dude's only getting the job because he's the coach's buddy? Are the Sparks trying to turn this into the WNBA's ultimate soap opera? They've got a long way to go.

| Actually, Queenie, if they're trying to turn it into the ultimate soap opera, they're almost finished with the casting and are doing quite well with storyline development.

Are there any divorces? Do any of the stars hate each other? Has anyone died yet? Evil twins? Questions of who created that play or dished that assist?
Talk to me when *that* happens.

For the few SPARKS Fans that post here, the news for 2005 has been such a mixed set of emotional feelings.
1) excited as hell to welcome the "Claw" to LA
2) sorry as hell to lose "D'Nasty"
3) could not believe that "Bibby" is the new coach given his resume
It is going to be one helluva ride in 2005. I cannot wait for it to begin, but I am scared of the outcome. We are going to kick some butt, or, we are going to flame each other out. Who knows; but I will be there for every last layup!
We have no 1st round draft pick, but I cannot wait for the DRAFT party at 9 am (PDT)!!!!!!
