I think this deserves a bit of a bump...

Yeah, it's time to look at this again.

I was right about 1-6, but Trudi kept going...

[Slovydal]

Her Sting went 1-10 to start the season.

The 1998 Mystics finished 3-27, the worst record in WNBA history.

a couple brilliant postgame quotes:

Trudi, on losing again: "We knew this was going to be a rebuilding year and we just have to work our way through it. We made wholesale changes in the offseason and it's a transition.''

Staley, on getting sat for the end of the game: "She's our leader, that's our coach, and I have to respect her decision to do that. I'm a coach, so I can't be mad at the decisions she makes.''

wow.

Rebuilding year?

Perhaps this is the time to note that there has been at least one in-season coaching change in every WNBA season, and at least two in every season except 2000.

If it were a rebuilding year, wouldn't the #1 pick be getting more minutes?

Now Trudi isn't really being very consistent. Clearly the writing is on the wall, this rebuilding stuff is the latest excuse. Peace out Trudi!

maybe we should start picking actual dates. i think the day she actually gets the boot will be the 29th or 30th - i can't decide. but i'm feeling like the announcement will be made on the 30th, the day they have the turnaround game in washington. reeve will take over in the interim, and there's really no reason why she can't ride out the rest of the season.

now, what i'd really like to have happen is the announcement that staley will become interim player/coach (donna o. will say, "why not?!"), and staley will wisely announce that, to do justice to the job, she'll voluntarily take herself out of the game as a player for the balance of the season.

Well, if Trudi survives the season, look for McCarville to be traded in the offseason and become a double-digit scorer somewhere else...so Trudi can rebuild again next year.

[sambista]

you really think trudi will still be around next season, even if they keep her through this one?

Not at all. I was just making a Powell reference with a history repeating itself thought for McCarville.

[CourtsideTix]

"The 1998 Mystics started 1-10. Coach Jim Lewis wasn't fired until the team was 2-16. Being on any list with the 1998 Mystics is a bad sign."

You got THAT right!!! But there's a big difference between the '98 Mystics and today's Sting (or even today's Mystics): we didn't have pro level players back then; the team was a joke. Nice folks, but not pros... Penny Moore, Keri Chaconas.... (Yes, yes, there was McCray, but that was it.) Can't say that about the Sting today. And for those of us who lived thru 3-27, we don't want anyone touching that record!!!!!!!!!!

3-18 on July 23 and counting . . .

[sambista]

maybe they're thinking the best thing they can do to at this point is to get positioned for another no. 1 draft pick - then lose trudi.
