The Brittany Hunter-Newbie story is another example of the immense and somewhat peculiar role that the message boards play in women's basketball.

The Colorado Daily has an article today exploring that very topic. The article quotes recruiting maven Sybil Marshall and Betty Bean, both Summitt legends.

Raider coach Marsha Sharp doesn't like the boards. "Probably three-fourths of the information on them about our team has no basis in truth," she said. "I actually encourage our players not to be a part of it, not to look at it." She's probably not alone in that sentiment.
