I am back in this forum, asking for help again to understand Nolan Richardson.
He just let Scholanda Robinson go for a 2nd round draft pick? Top of the line player, no. But what other experienced guards do the Tulsa Shock have in training camp? Is his starting backcourt going to be Marion Jones and Sheryl Swoopes? Certainly increases Ivory Latta's chances.
Perhaps he knows he can get a guard back because San Antonio will have to cut someone. They have Hammon, D Robinson, J. Perkins, S Robinson, Bevilaqua, Hodges and Mazzante in training camp.
Maybe Deanna Nolan is coming back to the Shock.

Okay, here's the answer. Shock sign Betty Lennox.
Lennox had her best season in 2008 when she averaged 17.5 points and 4.2 rebounds while starting 33 of the 34 regular season games for the expansion Atlanta Dream.
Lennox and Latta can team up again.

i don't think latta ever had anything to worry about as far as position goes... she played extremely well for the shock last year... she was arguably their most consistant player... i'll be interested in seeing what betty has left... la used her about as ineffectively as a team can use a player... betty needs shots to get going... in a run and gun system like utahs' she should get the shots she needs to get her game going...
but betty's never been really fond of defense... i can see some conflict between betty and nolan's style of interaction... i've heard rumors that he still talks to players as if he's talking to college kids... betty's not going to react well to that...
anyway... time will tell.... the shock has some nice pieces in place... in spite of nolan.... but then... they had some nice pieces when he got the them... and he took care of that in quick fashion.... jmo

He was probably the worst coach/gm ever. He managed to squander away a really good team, and stock all of our opponents with good players: Braxton to Phoenix, Zealous to Indy. Pierson to NY (these all left after starting out with Tulsa.) He also didn't manage to pick up Kate Smith (not sure, but she probably didn't want to go there) as well as a number of other good players.
I would think that if they had no coach at all, they would have done better.
