Lynn Roberts missed her first chance to coach Alyssa Ustby but is delighted to have a second chance. The Los Angeles Sparks coach couldn’t lure Ustby to Utah, where she coached for nine seasons, when Ustby was a high school star in Minnesota and decided to play at North Carolina. "She ended up telling us no, but I’ve always just been a big fan." (Tar Heel Tribune)
