“If there were ever a secret to being a great coach, that's it: the connection. I…” — Dawn Staley

You're going to have more A'ja Wilsons, you're going to have more Breanna Stewarts. You're going to have more and more because if you're growing up around watching the WNBA and watching what college women's basketball is today, you're going to be better because of it.

I understand that my success isn't about championships - it's about bringing together people who were once, and in some ways still are, divided. It's bigger than basketball.

I loved sports, but I excelled at basketball. We'd nail an old crate onto a wooden board and that was our basket and backboard. My claim to fame was my bank shot into the crate.

I'm of the opinion of, if you're a woman, you should play. If you consider yourself a woman, and you want to play sports or vice versa, you should be able to play. That's my opinion.
