Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better

New Merc coach Paul Westhead: "I'm accustomed to coaching professional athletes in the NBA, but I'm equally excited that I'm coaching the best women athletes in the world, Diana Taurasi as an example of that."

Diana is pumped. "I think the style fits the type of players we have," she said. "It's fun to play, aggressive and fun for the fans. Just to have a coach like him with all the background he has, I think people are going to come in and just respect that automatically."

Says Eric at Off Wing: "I'm interested to see just how "Paul Ball" -- last seen in action at George Mason University in Northern Virginia -- translates to the women's game."
