“Coach Latricia Trammell led the Dallas Wings to 22 wins this season. A strong performance for the first-year Head Coach in the WNBA. Arike Ogunbowale played less Hero Ball this season, and several other players, including Satou Sabally, Teaira McCowan, and Natasha Howard, stepped up. The Wings have arguably the deepest frontcourt in the league.”
I couldn’t agree with you more. This is why I feel like she should have gotten COY—-No disrespect to Steph White (or Vickie Johnson for that matter). CONN has lost a starter to injury now at least 3 years in a row (AT 2yo, J Thomas last year and Bri Jones this year)…and have shown resilience each year to make the semis….but to your point, Dallas is FINALLY playing team ball vs a bunch of talented players playing hero ball. Getting Howard in there was a thing of genius, as was keeping McCowan…and it certainly didn’t hurt to have Satou healthy. IMO, the argument for LT is way stronger…
On another note, did you happen to see Cloud’s postgame interview? It kinda sounded like a thank you/goodbye moment. I 💯 wouldn’t be surprised if she stayed in DC, but I could also see her scoping FA…
thanks for a great recap to the season and analysis to what lies ahead.
