Host Jackie Powell sits down with Defector’s Maitreyi Anantharaman to discuss what we should make of the two most recent hirings from both the Phoenix Mercury and the Chicago Sky. Maitreyi takes listeners inside why history could be repeating itself following the hiring of Nate Tibbetts, an NBA coach without any women’s basketball experience. The pair also discuss the uncertainty that remains in Chicago amid the great energy that came from new head coach Teresa Weatherspoon. Also, stay tuned for an Around the Horn style game of Buy or Sell.
