Host Jackie Powell is joined by Meghan Hall of For the Win to dish out grades of each new WNBA head coach now that all 7 positions have been filled. First they explain their grades for the Karl Smesko of Dream, Tyler Marsh of Sky and Stephanie White of the Fever. Then they reveal what they made of the Sparks' new hire, former Utah head coach Lynne Roberts followed by the mad dash of hires that were rolled out in December from the Connecticut Sun, Dallas Wings and the Washington Mystics. And in their final segment, the pair zeroes in on why more men are getting WNBA head coaching roles heading into the 2025 season and how far the league has come in five years since only four women were head coaches.Thumbnail Photo Credit: Left to right: Domenic Allegra, Chris Poss and Golden State ValkyriesFurther reading: Erica Ayala wrote about the WNBA’s struggles to hire diverse coacheshttps://www.nytimes.com/athletic/1653386/2020/03/05/we-have-to-get-more-diversity-in-those-seats-wnba-faces-hiring-reckoning/Jackie wrote a

Women's college basketball started and ended 2024. JuJu Watkins, the victorious South Carolina squad, Paige Bueckers and Caitlin Clark were all pivotal in the college landscape. In professional hoops, the New York Liberty brought the WNBA crown to New York City for the first time, the Minnesota Lynx dominated, and the Las Vegas Aces were headed by the best individual season the WNBA has ever seen, from A'ja Wilson.Host Gigi Speer and the New York Post's Madeline Kenney recap it all and talk about what this means moving forward in sports media.

For Lexie Hull, entering the 2024 season meant a Year 3 to finally prove herself as the player Lin Dunn and the Indiana Fever believed in when they drafted her back in 2022. To say she managed to do this is an understatement, with Hull hitting 47.1% of her threes, pushing into the starting lineup, and defining herself as a key part of the contending core the Indiana Fever are building alongside Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston. Hull talks about how she found her rhythm, what it means to be part of Unrivaled and much more with host Howard Megdal. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Someone will sign a three year deal in the WNBA, Elena Delle Donne and Natasha Cloud won’t be on the Washington Mystics and one of the super teams in the New York Liberty or the Las Vegas Aces will miss the finals. Those were three of the correct bold predictions that Alex Simon and Jackie Powell made for women’s basketball in 2024 around a year ago. Host Jackie Powell sits down with Alex, sports editor at SFGate, to go through the same exercise leading into 2025. The pair look ahead to 2024 in women's basketball and make bold predictions starting from WNBA free agency, which is right around the corner, all the way through the NCAA Tournament, the WNBA Draft and then finally the WNBA Finals and the WNBA’s upcoming collective bargaining agreement negotiations.
