The WNBA will hold its Sales and Marketing Meeting in New York at the end of this month, the 24th through 26th. The Draft Lottery will most likely be held at the end, on the early afternoon of Thursday the 26th.

In other league news... NK reported on the HRR board that Karleen Thompson has been offered the Chicago head coacing job.

Most interestingly: Chicago players were apparently adamant that the team hire a woman. In the past, we've heard that WNBA players prefer male coaches.

What is different in Chicago? Was the experience under Cowens that bad? Or were players just concerned about the league's overall gender balance?
