Debbie Antonelli is more than just an analyst or studio host, she is a driving force for improving the quality, the exposure, and the awareness of women's college basketball. A former point guard in her own right, Antonelli is still directing, leading, promoting. One of the more active social media participants, Antonelli also directs two holiday t…

Talk about living life to the fullest! Kara Lawson is the trailblazing analyst on Washington Wizards NBA telecasts, women's basketball analyst as part of ESPN's lead team of coverage, and just for fun, a contributor to USA Basketball, including helping manage the 3 x 3 teams. Whew, I get tired just thinking about that schedule, but Lawson was kind …

Nicki Collen is living the Dream; the Atlanta Dream that is. The former Connecticut Sun assistant coach is the new head coach of the Atlanta Dream, becoming the second assistant coach to be elevated to a head coaching job in the WNBA this offseason (Katie Smith in New York is the other). She takes over a team that is an enigma, to say the least. Th…

No tricks, just treats from Dishin & Swishin on Halloween! There's no question about it; 2017 was one hell of a year for Dawn Staley. Coach of NCAA women's basketball national champion South Carolina would be great on its own, but to also be elevated by USA Basketball to the head coach of the Senior National team makes it phenomenal. It is a pleasu…

There are few people in the women's basketball world with a more complete resume than Katie Smith, and that was before she was named head coach of the New York Liberty. A record breaking college career, ABL sucess and championships, WNBA records and championships, the player's representative for the USA Basketball senior national team selection com…

The WNBA season came to a close this week in a blaze of glory, with the two best teams for the second year in a row battling for five entertaining and exciting games. Congratulations to the Minnesota Lynx on their fourth WNBA championship. In addition to game five being played, the off-season maneuvers of WNBA franchises began in earnest with the S…

This weekend at Westmont College in Santa Barbara, California, the USA Basketball Senior Women's National team will have their official changing of the guard. It is there that the first training camp A.G. (After Geno), will be held. Dawn Staley takes over as head coach, and between players in the WNBA finals and a few missing for other reasons, the…

No team has won back-to-back WNBA championships since the 2001-2002 Los Angeles Sparks. That means incredible championship teams like the Detroit Shock, Phoenix Mercury, and Minnesota Lynx have not been able to pull it off. Our guest on this week's Dishin & Swishin was part of that Sparks team that defeated the Charlotte Sting and then the New York…

As the WNBA playoffs continue, it is a pleasure to welcome the Coach and Executive of the Year, the Connecticut Sun's Curt Miller, back to Dishin & Swishin to help break down the semi-final round. Minnesota and Los Angeles, the top two seeds, both hold 2-0 advantages over Washington and Phoenix, respectively, with game three on the trailing teams h…

The elite coaches, the very best in their field, become synonymous with their programs. Pat Summitt and Tennessee, for example, or Geno Auriemma and UConn. The newest member of the Naismith Hall of Fame, Muffet McGraw and Notre Dame fit the bill. If you look at McGraw's bio on Notre Dame's website, the very top line is a quote from former Notre Dam…

This weekend the halls of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame will be opened to one of the legends of women's basketball. Rebecca Lobo is a woman whose success off the court as well as on has earned her a spot in the Hall, just down the road from where she grew up in Massachusetts, and about an hour from the University of Connecticut where she int…

It is a pleasure to welcome ESPN & ESPNw writer Mechelle Voepel and the AP's Doug Feinberg back to Dishin & Swishin for a roundtable discussion of the playoffs and also postseason award selections. The first two rounds are single elimination games, and after discussing the appropriateness of this format, the roundtable discusses and makes their pre…

Instead of talking about the WNBA or the upcoming women's college basketball season, today we talk with Sarah Hillyer and Ashleigh Huffman, co-founders and directors of the Center for Sport, Peace, and Society at the University.of Tennessee, and producers of a new short film called "Pat: A Legacy of Love." No one has had a bigger impact on women's …

Diana Taurasi of the Phoenix Mercury is as polarizing a player as there is in the WNBA. To some, she is the G.O.A.T., and her amazing abilities on the court and extreme competitive nature make her a joy to watch. To others, she is a whiner and complainer, whose ego trumps her talents and makes her an object of criticism. The truth is there is somet…

We have a special two part podcast for you this week. In the first part, we break out the Dishin & Swishin roundtable for a discussion of what's going on around the WNBA with NBATV's Angel Gray and Fanrag's own Eric Nemchock. Topics include: - Two weeks in, what do we think of the Sky-Dream trade now? - How long should it take a team to gel? - A lo…

If you are new to Dishin & Swishin, the "In their own words" segments are shorter interviews than a normal podcast, usually around five minutes or less, recorded in person and unedited other than volume and noise. It is the subject's own words, unfiltered or several subjects. Today we caught up with Dallas Wings head coach Fred Williams after their…

Jeff Walz leads an impressive group of college players into the first four-team U23 tournament in Tokyo, Japan beginning August 12. The U23 team is bridge between the popular U18 and U19 teams, and the senior national team. Players have to be under 23 years old, but also have to have just completed their freshmen, sophomore, or junior years. Despit…

Special thanks to Chris Poss for allowing us to use his amazing photos! The Chicago Sky have had a very strange season. A tumultuous off season featured the replacement of the head coach and general manager, trading of their biggest star, and a draft day debacle that either did or did not feature a trade but ended with an injured post player that h…

Hello, it's been a while! It's always nice to provide WNBA fans with additional information and content, so it is time for a new "In her own words" segment here on the website. As a reminder, the "In her own words" interviews are unedited audio from a pre- or post-game interview, in its entirety, without podcast enhancements or modifications. Yeste…

When I first started watching women’s basketball, many years ago at this point, one of the teams that captured my imagination and made the game so exciting was the New York Liberty, especially in the early years of the WNBA. Those teams were loaded with talent; Teresa Weatherspoon, Crystal Robinson, Sue Wicks, Rebecca Lobo, Kym Hampton, and of cour…

The last time a WNBA champion repeated the next year was back in 2001 and 2002. That team was the Los Angeles Sparks. So, who is to say the streak of non-repeaters will not end in 2017 with the same franchise? Last year’s WNBA finals were women’s basketball at its best, and its worst. Amazing talent graced the floor for both teams, but refereeing m…

The fans of the Chicago Sky want one thing to happen already, get the season started and move on from off the court dramatics. First, coach Pokey Chatman gets fired after leading a short-handed team into the playoffs. Amber Stocks is named as coach and general manager to replace her. Then star Elena Delle Donne, long rumored to want out of Chicago,…

Training camp for the Connecticut Sun opened this week with two of last year’s first round draft choices recovering from knee surgeries, a procedurally suspended star not around due to an Achilles injury, a former all-star in camp trying to come back from multiple surgeries, and a starting point guard with her foot in a boot. Just a normal day in U…

In their own words podcasts are just that, the words of the guest as spoken and unedited. You can hear the voice inflection, the background conversation and anything else to help frame the context of the interview. To quote the Grateful Dead, what a long strange trip it's been! And it's only been just over a week since the WNBA draft started the ba…

Tamika Catchings casts a shadow far bigger than her frame; one could say it's large enough to cover the entire Indiana Fever organization. For the first time in 15 years the Fever enter training camp without their legendary superstar Catchings. While she is still a part of the organization, not having her leadership and stability on the court chang…

Stop me if you've heard this before...a team wins a national championship, and has three of their top players go into the WNBA draft immediately afterwards. Yes, the 2017 WNBA draft is nearly a repeat of 2016. when UConn won the national championship and followed that with Breanna Stewart, Moriah Jefferson, and Morgan Tuck going one, two, three in …

Even with the rise in transfers lately, one of the great things about women's college basketball is that the overwhelming majority of players stay four years, completing their eligibility in one place. When those things happen, the fans benefit, as we get the privilege of watching teammates learn and grow their games together. We get to see them sh…

For the next few days, in anticipation of the WNBA draft, being held on Thursday April 13th, Dishin & Swishin will present podcast to help familiarize you with some of the potentially top picks in the draft. Today, we start with most likely the number one pick overall, and one of the more interesting prospects to come around in years, the Universit…

From the ESPNMediazone: Doris Burke, a versatile basketball commentator who calls both men’s and women’s college and pro contests, has covered basketball for ESPN since March 1991. She works a variety of ESPN assignments, including the NBA, women’s basketball regular-season and NCAA Championship, men’s basketball regular-season and Championship Wee…

Rebecca Lobo, Diana Taurasi, Maya Moore. Probably the three biggest legends in the annals of UConn women's basketball, along with coach Geno Auriemma. Breanna Stewart is right there with them; having accomplished her incoming freshman goal of winning four national championships. She followed that last summer with a tremendous rookie year in the WNB…

It has become an annual event, one of the most listened to Dishin & Swishin podcasts each year. For the fifth consecutive, DePaul University head coach and former USA Basketball assistant coach Doug Bruno joins Dishin & Swishin to talk about all that's going on around the Final Four, and then to break down the games. It is certainly a nice change f…

And then there were four! As UConn, South Carolina, Stanford, and Mississippi State gather in Dallas, we are nearing the end of the road for the 2016-17 women's college basketball season. This week on Dishin & Swishin we will have multiple podcasts breaking down and discussing the Final Four, and we hope you enjoy listening to all of them! First up…

What a great first week of NCAA tournament games! Near upsets, close games, sensational performances; the first and second round had something for everyone! However, while last year the tournament had party crashers, with lower seeds going all the way to the final four, this year chalk is the word. In fact, only fifth-seeded Ohio State in Lexington…

It's FINALLY tournament time! The NCAA women's basketball championships kick off this Friday and Saturday at sixteen sites throughout the country. Highest seed hosts the four teams (two games) in the bracket, with the exception of Stanford, who goes to Kansas, because Pac 12 gymnastics got to their arena first. Each year we break down the tournamen…

March madness has arrived! Conference tournaments are either recently completed or in full swing. Selection Monday is around the corner. That also means it is time for the fifth annual Dishin & Swishin bracketology podcast, with ESPN’s women’s basketball bracket expert Charlie Creme. This year, with his social media presence on full blast and ESPN’…

In women’s college basketball, is there a more overlooked team heading into post-season tournament play than the Ohio State Buckeyes? If the season is meant to build momentum heading into March and April, then Kevin McGuff’s team is doing something right. They sit at 25-5 overall, their only losses coming at the hands of top ten teams UConn, South …

When Kelly Graves took over the helm of the Oregon women’s basketball program, he had a lot of work to do. Sure, Nike is ever present and provides the team with the latest and greatest in apparel and equipment, but previous coach Paul Westhead’s run and gun style left a program with only a modicum of success, and a culture that did not emphasize fu…

On February 18, 2012 St. John’s University traveled to Gampel Pavilion, and knocked off a UConn team that was going for its 100th consecutive home court victory, 57-56 on a Shenneika Smith three-pointer with time running down. This week the eyes of the women’s basketball world were again on Gampel and UConn’s quest for 100, although it was 100 cons…

Saniya Chong has been through, and seen a lot, during her three plus years as a part of the UConn women's basketball program. She’s been a part of three national championship teams, and hit key shots (see Maryland games 2016 and 2015); she’s missed time with injuries (last year’s IT band in particular), and sat for inconsistent play. This year thou…

Jose Fernandez, the head coach of South Florida's women's basketball teams is one of the nicest people you ever want to talk to. With a smile as wide as a Florida sunset, Fernandez is one of those people that always makes you feel at ease in conversation. That may be why this is a little different Dishin & Swishin podcast than most. South Florida i…

When Lin Dunn came out of retirement in May to join Matthew Mitchell’s coaching staff at Kentucky, it raised more than a few eyebrows. Things had been turbulent at Kentucky, with player transfers and coaching staff changes in recent years. The addition of Dunn as an assistant coach, a Hall of Famer with over 40 years of experience, was exactly what…
