Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Monday, April 24, 2006

Sun coach Thibault just got back from Australia, where he's been working as an assistant coach for Team USA.

Lindsay Whalen is still rehabbing last year's ankle injuries. Coach Thibault says she's "kind of where the doctors thought she would be," and "50-50 in terms of being ready for the first game" on May 20.

That means the Sun need a backup PG. Candidates: Derevjanik (last year's choice, but not much of a shooter), Phillips (drafted last year, but new to the team), Jamie Carey, and K-State's Megan Mahoney, who gets her first crack at the pros after tearing her ACL Achilles tendon in last year's Big XII tournament.
