Tim Leighton writes about Jim Petersen's enthusiasm for the W:

Jim Petersen's basketball résumé includes winning the Minnesota Mr. Basketball Award at St. Louis Park, playing with the University of Minnesota plus eight years in the NBA, and being the Timberwolves' television analyst for the past 11 seasons.

Now he's a WNBA evangelist.

"I am here to spread the gospel and the good word of the WNBA,'' the Minnesota Lynx second-year assistant coach said. "I love this league, and I want to share it with others why I do.''
