I have been envisioning this shot in my head for weeks and Caitlin Clark delivered. One of the great things about working with team’s is you get to know the athletes so well. I had a suspicion this might happen, put together a plan, and was rewarded for the effort.

Jan Jensen told me last week that "front-court depth" was next in the transfer portal, ideally. A UCF freshman could fit the bill, potentially. hawkcentral.com/story/sports/c…

An average of 1.3 million people watched the Fever beat Brazil by 64 in a WNBA exhibition. That exceeds all-but-two NBA preseason games on ESPN dating back to 2010. Prior to Caitlin Clark being drafted last year, no WNBA telecast of any kind had attracted a million viewers since

"My culture is not for sale." In a "fascinating" (and successful) Year 1 leading Iowa Women's Basketball, Jan Jensen faced some lows but she and her team came out the other side. Going into Year 2, she's more convicted than ever how she wants to build this program. hawkcentral.com/story/sports/c…
