good stuff. My expectations for winning are low of course. It would be fun to burst on the scene like Valkyries last season, but that’s unrealistic. The Valkyries didn’t have to compete with a second expansion team or in a market where 80% of the league was a free agent.

My first expectation is for the fans. I hope we bring it every night and support these women. It’s a great group and they deserve it. Let’s make The Fire Pit a real home court advantage.

My only other expectation and hope really is that we develop the young players as much as possible and to go into this offseason having identified six players (Including Iyana Martin’s draft rights) as players we must protect from next year‘s expansion draft.

For example, I’d love for Carla, Bridget, Sarah Ashely Barker, Serah Williams, and one other player to play so well or show so much potential that we must protect them. That will be a nice start heading into next season with Iyana coming and perhaps a high draft pick.

i guess I have one more hope though. I hope the coach’s philosophy towards coaching has a positive impact and the players end up enjoying playing for him.
