Quote:

Among the things we discussed:

early conditioning of boys and girls in sports, and how media also has an impact on that conditioning;

the different types of media and how they impact coverage and can do things differently, from ESPN to local media;

discussion of what people watch and how UConn drives the highest-rated women’s games despite complaints about blowouts;

a discussion on the conflict between promoting something that may not immediately drive traffic and the pressures on media;

the biases that impact editorial choices on what to report on;

how can readers who are interested in a topic that the feel is underserved, like women’s basketball, effect change?

Coach Reeve’s discussion on being tired of comparisons and complaints from fans about the WNBA and NBA;

A discussion of the challenges of WNBA rookies going from college to pro in a few weeks;

Her philosophy in dealing with a very successful veteran core, while trying to balance maintaining the team for the future
