Top of the Key: A Tale of Two Coaches

Thomas and Grace are back for the first offseason episode of Top of the Key, but there's still plenty to discuss. First, a short bit on Teresa Weatherspoon's introduction as the Head Coach of the Chicago Sky. They're excited for T-Spoon, excited for the future of the Sky, and excited to see what she can do with Kahleah Copper especially. Then, they get into the Nate Tibbetts disaster-class on how not to talk at a press conference. They're generally baffled by his main comments about the league, though Grace comes up with the most generous reading of what he said and it makes a tiny bit more sense. Still, you'd think someone as qualified as a "girl dad" could have the right words to say at a press conference he knew was coming. Finally, Grace and Thomas get into the upcoming 2024 draft class. With Azzi Fudd officially staying at UConn, and Angel Reese hinting at using her bonus COVID year and staying at LSU, the next draft is looking a little weaker. And that helps the WNBPA in the upcoming CBA negotiations, as clearly players would rather make more at college than take a pay cut to not even be guaranteed a spot on a WNBA team for less than $75,000.
