Things weren't always rosy for Southwestern Oklahoma State women's basketball. After a dominant 1980's run as one of the top NAIA teams in the country, the move to Division II was grinding on the Lady Bulldogs. Enter Kelsi Bond (now Musick). The brash young head coach arrived with a wild plan. Run and gun. Push the tempo. Dribble drive motion. Threes and layups. No mid-range jumpers. She won three games (3!) in her first year. But she and the Lady Dawgs kept at it, believing in their wildly aggressive system, and things came around. They won the 2012 Great American Conference Tournament championship, starting a run that eventually culminated in a 35-2 season in 2018-19. The Lady Dawgs came up just short in the Division II National Championship game, falling to Lubbock Christian in double overtime. In this interview Musick explains why she stayed with her system through thick and thin, and talks about the big defensive switch that turned her team from a good team to a great team.

One of the most suprising moves off last WNBA offseason was Brian Agler stepping down as head coach of the LA Sparks. About a month later, he was announced as the new leader of the Dallas Wings. While the first season was challenging, Agler saw several bright spots, including Rookie of the Year runner-up Arike Ogunbowale stepping into a leading role. Coach Agler discusses his offseason, thoughts about the future of the Wings roster, how they'll approach the 2020 draft, Arike's development, and more.

Confession: Cynt Marshall isn’t neccesarily a women’s basketball figure. BUT, she is a woman, and she is in basketball. The Dallas Mavericks CEO was recently named one of the 30 Most Powerful Women in Sports by Adweek ($). She was brought in last year by Mark Cuban to turn around a culture that had become extremly toxic for women. By all accounts, Marshall is well on her way to turning around the Mavericks. The vibrant soon-to-be 60 year old connects personally with anyone she comes in contact with. She loves life, she loves people, and she’s making an impact. On Satuday, July 20, Marshall spoke at the Dallas Wings Inspiring Women Night. We got Cynt’s permission to use her chat for our program, and we couldn’t be more thankful. We know that you’ll be inspired and moved by one of the most infectous personalities in sports leadership. Make sure to subscribe wherever you listen to your podcasts.

WNBA expansion is a hot topic. While many believe it should be a long-term goal of the league, incoming commissioner Cathy Englebert recently told the Chicago Sun-Times, “As I transition into my new role, one of my priorities right now is to make sure each and every one of our 12 existing franchises is doing as well as they possibly can before we seriously consider expanding.” Daniel Escott and Max Abrahams are passionate about bringing a WNBA franchise to Toronto. They certainly have detractors, who have voiced their own opinions about the pair's audacious goals. In this episode, hear why Daniel and Max think Toronto is ready, and why they think it can happen in time for the 2020 season. Make sure to subscribe wherever you listen to your podcasts.

Shea Serrano (@SheaSerrano) of The Ringer has only been a women's basketball fan for around two years now, but he's all in! The writer is known for his best selling books: The Rap Year Book, and Basketball (And Other Things). In October he'll release his first hardcover offering, Movies (And Other Things). We talk about his writing style, his awesome generous following, "The FOH Army," and of course his fandom of the Las Vegas Aces. Acheil Tac (@BIG_A23) has a really neat story. Born in Sudan, her family moved to Egypt when she was a child, then at age nine her family migrated to the U.S., settling in the Dallas area. Tac first competed in the game of basketball as a freshman at Sachse (TX) High School, and blossomed into a Division I prospect. After four years at the University of North Texas, Acheil moved on to play professionally in Switzerland. But an injury caused her to take a year off from the game, and in that year, she wrote a book!

Ari Chambers (@ariivory) has been a social media staple for WNBA fans for many years. The multi-talented journalist has parlayed that coverage into a job with Bleacher Report/House of Highlights. Ari knows the game, but more importantly, wants to connect the fans with the personal stories of the WNBA athlete. Maybe one day Ari will be doing a story on our next guest, Hailey Tucker. The lanky 6-3 guard who shoots the ball routinely from 35’ had multiple D1 offers when coming out of Bartlesville (OK) High School. But in the end, she chose Southwestern Oklahoma State, and Division 2. She became an All-American, two time conference player of the year, and led her team to the D2 title game as a senior. Hailey just announced she would start her pro career in Sweden. Make sure to subscribe wherever you listen to your podcasts.

Kelly Graves likes to keep it loose. Always has, always will, and he refuses to change his approach as his team prepares for their biggest season yet. Oregon lost a tight Final Four matchup with eventual champion Baylor in 2019.

In this in-depth interview, Coach Graves discusses his superstar senior (Sabrina), why he might have a future prime minister on his team, why he thinks the three point line should be moved back NOW, a long-lost Wendy's commercial he appeared in, and so much more.

Another bonus edition of the Her Hoop Stats Podcast finds host John Liddle back at Dallas Wings Media Day to talk to some of the team's impact players. Arike Ogunbowale discusses her whirlwind end to her career, the ups and downs of the last two seasons, and what it's going to take to play the point at the pro level. Kayla Thornton gets after it defensively, so she's excited to have a coach that focuses on that end of the floor. Kayla also discusses her career progression and the food in South Korea. Allisha Gray is a player to watch for the Wings this season. While she's incredibly capable of putting the ball in the hole, she's ready to get down and dirty as a "Roughrider." And Glory Johnson also loves defense. But the vet has a different perspective of the game that we're really interested in: body recovery after a pregnancy. Glory gets very real...and talks about why she was thankful her nurse had small hands. Make sure to subscribe wherever you listen to your podcasts.
