I don't know if you read Rebkell's but many over there are far from Coach D, fans, they think she had nothing to do with the women winning the gold. Many won't give her one ounce of credit. There are those that can see the good she did and where she needs improvement, we are far and few at least at Reb's. Then there are Becky's blind, rabid fans. To them what she said was an insult about Becky becoming a Russian. I post less and less over there as it takes too long to wade through the crap to get to the few that are intelligent, and well thought out posts. As always I enjoy reading your blog, great job!

Pat Summitt was not an assistant coach on a gold-medal-winning squad. She was an assistant in 1980 when the USA boycotted the Olympics.<br/><br/>So Anne's triple is unprecedented.

Staley might eventually join that list, but not yet. Donovan joined Summitt as the only two to win as players and *head* coaches (both won as assistants too).

It is a testament that Anne needs an unbiased eye in the GM spot in the WNBA. I expect a third finals with a third team from AD in the near future. ditto.
