Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Tuesday, September 05, 2006

As Helen notes, the league has fined coach Laimbeer for his digs against the officials in and after game three. (These sorts of fines come down on the men's side regularly; it's no surprise to see the W wield them too.)

Clay wants to penalize Bill for other reasons: coach Laimbeer "deserves to have his wallet lightened [for] embarassing women's basketball by his inability to get his team to play hard in the WNBA finals...

"Coaching isn't about witty remarks in the postgame press conference, or working the officials, or basking in past glories. Coaching is about preparing a team to play."
