2011 WNBA Awards (Part 3b): Defensive Player of the Year & All-Defensive Team Selections
After the extended discussion with Richard Cohen about 2011 WNBA defensive awards posted yesterday, the only thing left to do is to stop playing around and actually make the picks. We did most of the work in that conversation as we ended up generally agreeing on the Defensive Player of the Year...
2011 WNBA Awards (Part 1): MVP, All-WNBA, Rookie of the Year, Sixth Woman, Most Improved Player
The most difficult part of figuring out end of season awards is that no matter who you select someone will take it as a slight to their favorite player. That's especially true this year as you get to MVP and All-WNBA voting: trying to pick just four guards across two teams, for example, is a...

Dishin & Swishin: Pokey Chatman Named Coach Of The Chicago Sky
It was inevitable right? As a player, she was a point guard, a 5-time AAU All-American in High School, and 4-year All SEC selection at college. As a head coach, her winning percentage is over 85%. She's won European titles, made trips to the NCAA Final Four, and in her "spare time" coaches...
WNBA End Of Season Awards: Where Value Is Defined By Unbelievability
When considering your choice for WNBA MVP, I want you to set aside all of your statistical arguments, close your eyes, and imagine for a moment that you're a WNBA coach. Try to imagine a sideline personality for yourself but please leave the Salmon colored suit out if possible. Think deeply about...
2010 WNBA Awards: The "Obvious" Ones
I'm going to abstain from making any further public comment about the MVP race until the season is complete.
