**** Welcome to the Pickin’ Splinter’s Who am I for A-10 women’s basketball. Each week we will highlight an A-10 player or coach past or present. Your mission should you choose to accept will be to take the set of clues and figure out who the player/coach is. The ground rules are simple. First and foremost try this without research. Release your inner James Joyce and show us your stream of consciousness as you decipher the answer. Add to that the teachings of Myagi: patience. If you don’t get the answer right away, give your brain a chance to work if for no other reason than to stay in the discussion. You may not have THE answer, but you might prompt another reader by asking the right question. Good luck!
I am not sure how I feel about being a “Who am I? ” after all – I am still playing basketball professionally. When I was in college, I was a defensive terror. I finished my career with 940 rebounds good for 20th all-time in Atlantic 10 history. Add in 218 blocks for my career which is good for 10th all-time, and you didn’t dare come down the lane. I was a two time Atlantic 10 player of the year and Defensive Player of the Year in another. In my four years, we had three straight 20 win seasons and won three conference tournaments which I am extremely proud of.
After my collegiate career, I was fortunate to be drafted in the WNBA. When I was drafted, I felt like the Sky was the limit. Here is a weird fact that doesn’t happen very often – in my rookie season, my college coach played in her final year of the WNBA. We were the first collegiate coach and player to play concurrently in the WNBA. A few years later I left the team that drafted me and the decision could be considered mercurial.
