With the Winters hiring yesterday, 10 of 14 WNBA coaches are men. Several of them are former NBAers.

By contrast, few college coaches are men, especially at top programs (leading to high-profile whining by some male coaches -- see, e.g., this post).

Why? Winters himself offers some explanation. "I guess there are certain things that work better in professional basketball than do in college. You play more games in a shorter period of time. There's the travel, a lot of things. The whole rhythm of what you do and how you do it; maybe we have a little more insight because we've been in professional basketball."
