Hoops 360 host Caroline Fenton and women basketball writer Cassandra Negley run through all the big moments they liked and disliked this past week in the WNBA: Caitlin Clark continuing to carry the Indiana Fever, whether injuries could derail the Chicago Sky’s hot start, and if it was too early for Dallas Wings head coach Jose Fernandez to call his locker room “selfish.”
Plus, with the league’s new CBA in place and player salaries rising dramatically, Cass takes a closer look at how WNBA players are approaching wealth management, saving, and spending.
We also hear from Portland Fire head coach Alex Sarama, who discusses managing expectations and building a culture for an expansion franchise in its inaugural season.
