Sky Coach Teresa Weatherspoon Speaks Out on Caitlin Clark Concerns
Chicago Sky head coach Teresa Weatherspoon leads one of the most popular teams in the WNBA. Her insight gives another valuable perspective on the league's coverage of games, particularly those that include Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark.
Weatherspoon gave a well thought out answer on what she hopes is covered when teams take the court.
"I think there's been a lot of talk about women's basketball. It's a big thing. It's huge. But what you want to be spoken about is the game. The skill, the talent versatility, how hard we play. What they have to do to be able to step between those four lines all the time. And to talk about the competitors. They're out there to compete and go win."
Weatherspoon has done a great job this season in bringing the best out of young talent. Sky forward Angel Reese has already become one of the best in the game. Still, it's the basketball product from her team and others that Weatherspoon wants discussed by the media.

Weatherspoon's hope is a reasonable one to expect from a head coach. You want your coach's mentality to be all about the game.
The Chicago Sky will next take on the Dallas Wings on June 20.
