In an astonishing article in the Tacoma News Tribune yesterday, a bunch of folks wondered out loud what the devil LA was thinking when it hired Henry Bibby as head coach.

“I was a little bit (surprised) – I didn’t even know he was interested,” said Sun coach Mike Thibault. “I’ve coached against him before in the CBA, and I don’t know – it’s LA.”

“Yes (it seemed like an unusual choice) – he hadn’t coached women, he hadn’t coached professionally, I mean it just seemed like an interesting jump,” said Seattle coach Anne Donovan. "I really don’t want to say a whole lot more.”
