Rhonda Blades

Ackerman's favorite moment of the W.N.B.A. season was caught on television during a Liberty game. Rhonda Blades, a guard for New York, was kneeling next to the scorer's table, waiting to get into the fray, when she noticed two little girls sitting courtside. "Just before Rhonda went into the game," Ackerman recalls, "she gave one of the girls a high-five. Then the girl showed her hand to her friend, as if she had been given this wonderful present. And I guess she had."

Jasmina Perazic-Gipe
http://www.newsline.umd.edu/schools/specialreports/cole/perazic030502.htm
Perazic-Gipe, 41, with her best friend, Sharon Nagia, runs an after-school program called Montgomery Sports Association for students up to the age of 16. Perazic-Gipe teaches and trains students in soccer and, of course, basketball.

Jazz, as her teammates called her, was a popular member of the team -- funny, generous, hard-working, but invariably seated at the end of the bench.

Cassandra Crumpton-Moorer

Alabama's Rick Moody, who became head coach in 1989, said when he was an assistant at 'Bama in the early 1980s, two young women started the inspirational/devotional before games. The two were Cassandra Crumpton Moorer, aka C.C. Moorer and the late Dottie Kelso, who were teammates from 1982-84.

"When I became head coach," Moody began, "the first person I hired as an assistant was Dottie. C.C. has been my assistant since 1997."

Thanks for this thread.

I think I read one time that Keisha Ford had finished the Atlanta Police Academy.

I really want to make some comment connecting this to defense, but I haven't quite figured out how.

I believe Rhonda Blades is back in Nashville, coaching high/prep school.

From SEC to TSSAA: Four former SEC women’s basketball players turned high school girls basketball coaches led their respective teams to the TSSAA Girls State Basketball Tournament this season.
But only two walked away with trophies.
A Lady Vol from 1984-1987, Knoxville Webb Coach Shelley Sexton-Collier and Brentwood Academy Coach Rhonda Blades Brown, who played at Vanderbilt from 1992-1995, led their teams to the Division II championship, which Webb won 50-47.

Hey RedEqualsLuck:

Even though I'm not a Liberty fan, thanks for the list. Nice job!

For the past couple of years, I've been doing the same kind of research on finding the current whereabouts of former Sacramento Monarchs players who are no longer in the WNBA. And I have been updating some of the results on the Monarchs' entry at wikipedia.org. Maybe I should do the same thing here, for the benefit of anyone who is curious.

Every so often --- especially at this time during the offseason --- I do wonder where some ex-WNBA players wind up, whether they still are playing elsewhere (overseas), or coaching, or if they've gotten a "real" job.

Again, thanks for your efforts!

C C Moorer is apparently coaching middle school girls in Alabama:
