Good luck to her. One thing missing from her job description is hiring and/or firing coaches and GMs. So hopefully a GM announcement will be coming. Experienced, successful WNBA GMs are pretty scarce and the good ones already have jobs. |
Penny Toler is available...

Perhaps this is a sign that they'll just do the whole Head Coach/GM combo thing that some organizations do... |
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised, especially if they go with a retread. Pokey Chatman, maybe? Someone like that getting both roles wouldn't be a shock. |

Just glad to see neither Isiah T. nor Marynell is walking through that door.
This ought to quell any suspicions of a team move outside of Georgia for awhile, too. Here's hoping for the best of decisions to be made in the months ahead.

If you're looking for someone to wear both hats who isn't a retread, Olaf Lange has a lot of WNBA experience. That's necessary for the GM role, and Lange was a successful head coach overseas. Now, if you're willing to gamble on a totally fresh face, there's Tom Hovasse who was the big success story of the Olympics. Having guided an undersized Japanese team to a silver medal, Hovasse might even find a use for Mike Peterson's "four point-guard-sized humans." A team looking for some creativity should at least give Hovasse an interview. This assumes ownership hasn't decided on principle that they have to hire a woman.

At this point, they really could do worse than Pokey Chatman, though. At least people think Chatman is a decent guard developer (Slooty, KMitchell, etc.), whether this team tries to build around Carter (if she stays) or McDonald (if Carter goes) moving forward.
