She seems legit, everyone seems to rave about her ability to break down game film.

When people said Stevens needed a former player on his staff, I don't think this is what they had in mind.  ;D

I liked her on the Wizards/ESPN broadcasts she was on.

No clue about her as a coach of course.

Probably not what people expected, but I think you’re underestimating the level of respect NBA players have for the WNBA.

This is great for the C's but terrible for basketball TV viewers.  I was really, really hoping she'd NBA commentator deadwood.
