So, now Bill Laimbeer thinks he could make a better "home" for our freshly drafted Kristin Haynie than Sacramento can ("Haynie drafted to WNBA" SN 4/18)? This shocks me because of the fact that when I attended a coach's clinic a couple of weeks ago at The Palace of Auburn Hills, Mr. Laimbeer commented that our women's basketball team was "slow" and that they were only winning because of the wonderful coaching skills of head coach Joanne P. McCallie.

Don't get me wrong, as a female coach I have tremendous respect for McCallie, but I also feel that the skills of each and every player on a team contributes to its excellence. The Detroit Shock head coach also reflected on the possibility of the Spartans beating Tennessee. "Probably not" was his response. If it was McCallie's ability to coach that put Ms. Haynie where she is today, then I don't think that ol' Bill has what it takes to bring her "home."
