Seems like the league is allowing 4 coaches these days. I seem to recall that the 3 coach limit was to keep down team expenses. |
I don't think you'll find that anyone has more than three coaches. They have a head coach, two assistants, and then however many people they feel like paying with a bunch of other titles.

Technically the Lynx hired a 3rd assistant, Walt Hopkins, and his title was Assistant Coach. Though the release did say it was to the Basketball Operations Department, so that's probably how we got away with it. And as pilight has mentioned, only 3 are allowed on the bench, so he sits behind next to our DOBO.

So the Wings have only Plaisance & Lewis at center. Not good.

Akhator is playing again too. But if I were to guess I'd say they just give Glory more minutes at the 5 and play Christmas at the 4

Powers is still out, so do the Wings qualify for an injury exemption?

Once Paris misses a game, yeah, I guess. Although they basically already have been with Powers/Akhator out. Not sure if they'll feel it's worth it unless someone else gets hurt as well. |

Poor courtney....Get well soon( 6 weeks hopefully)
This could be a positive.for dallas.They can now fully commit to playing small ball without Paris slowing them down.I never thought Courtney was a good fit with coach Williams uptempo style......Okay Plaisance,here's your opportunity.

It would be some kind of miracle if Cambage ends up in a Wings uniform sometime this season.

It won't be this season. She was on a podcast recently discussing her plans this year and it didn't include any basketball until the start of the WNBL season.
(it did include another trip back to the states though - for Burning Man!)

I get the feeling that Cambage will agree to play in 2018,sign a huge overseas contract,then skip the 2019/2020 seasons.If Liz wants to play for dallas,she needs to be committed to playing consecutive seasons.If not,maybe the best option for both parties is a trade.Would Cambage accept a trade to Chicago,Washington,San Antonio,or New tork ?....dallas could be a legit title contender in 2 or 3 years if they made 2 good trades.
The dallas franchise is in constant limbo.

Glory seems so distant from her teammates.
Quote: |
“We have players that aren’t used to playing with each other, and at the end of the day they made sure that they were going to rebound this game because of how the last game went, and that was just an adjustment that we didn’t handle well,” Wings forward Glory Johnson said following the game. “They have bigger players than we have especially since Courtney isn’t in there with me. If I’m boxing out one player the other player need to box-out the other post, and they weren’t doing that. We didn’t adjust the way that we needed to.” |

Yeah she seems to only really take a liking to KD (Kaela Davis) during warm ups and pre-game once the doors open you get a chance to see who's who and Glory doesnt seem to be a team favorite with anyone besides Davis.

Might not be what Wings fans are hoping for but couldn't Cambage sign as an injury replacement player for Paris so long as Power is still out? Might mean they have to cut her once the injured player(s?) are healthy, so might not be the best way to go.
