Kevin Pelton on Coop, the trends, and the WNBA as stepping stone.

On ESPN and elsewhere, there's been a lot of talk like: "Hey, he won championships with the Sparks -- it's only women, but it's still winning." We can take that either as an insult or a compliment.

And as Kevin says, if the WNBA serves as a stepping stone, it will be a mixed blessing. Ultimately, he's not too worried about it, because "the better coaches in the WNBA, whatever the reason, the better for the league." I think that's right.
