Official Women's Basketball Thread

[Controversy]

Jeff Pagliocca started his career as the J.V. boys basketball coach at Stevenson High School, according to a 2025 Sun-Times profile. He never played basketball but became a film junkie, parlaying that into a development gym called Evolution Athletics. His first big client was former No. 2 overall pick and longtime NBA veteran Evan Turner. Around 2021, he trained Diamond DeShields and Stephanie Dolson. But it was in 2022 that he received a call from Courtney Vandersloot, who expressed an interest in working with Pagliocca.

As long as the GM is in place, his loyalty will be to Sloot.

Angel needs to sit for the rest of the season and request a trade before she goes on vacation Friday.

I NEVER KNEW THIS
AND I WAS ALL OVER THIS
SLOOT/JEFF shyt FROM THE START.

NOW IT ALL MAKES SENSE.
DUDE BUSHED CARTER
AND TRADED CITRON FOR
THIS BROAD.
BROUGHT IN THE PIECES
SHE WANTED AND BUILT
THE OFFENSE AROUND HER...

RETIRED HER WIFES JERSEY
AND GAVE HER FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT
ON THE INTRODUCTIONS TOO.

THEY BOTH GOTTA GO.

THIS IS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST.
SHES NOT A GOOD PLAYER ANYMORE.

This Sloot-centric offense tonight is not the answer

Angel is an afterthought in this offensive system

 

[Controversy]

I'm not confident in this Sky team bc of the decline in defense and too much reliance on Sloot and Nurse

And the HC doesn't know how to manage his rotations well

Angel playing 25 mins is a GD travesty when Sloot is playing 32

 

[Controversy]

Angel was cooking as a facilitator in the 4th qtr...she had 3 dimes

No one to get her the rock tho, disgusting

Atkins, Sloot & Nurse just be running out there with no intentionality to get Angel & Cardoso the rock in the post or running effective P&R

Nah, the proof is in the numbers

What were her #s with the dinosaur PG & without

How does the team compete with her in the lineup and out of the lineup?

This organization doesn't respect her talent and tried to have bum bytches above her in the pecking order

angel to dallas to complete my narrative

 

[Controversy]

Only coaches and GMs are immune from criticism when saying what a team needs during the season

This also implies they value Azzi as the missing piece

 

[Rain]

WNBA teams still being ran by completely inept FOs is part of the reason this league will continue to not be taken seriously.

Of everything that has transpired from the offseason with the Jeff P moves like firing Spoon, bushing Carter & bringing 36 yr old washed Sloot in who was benched in NY to build the offense around, trading away the #3 pick for a player (Atkins) on a 1 yr deal at the request of Sloot, reaching on drafting HVL, Jeff P shading AR in the media saying she needs to do more, brought in Uzun when it was better PG's available for a hardship contract, up to now, this is what u come up with breh?

 

[Brandeezy]

Jeff's saving grace is the fact that he's in the WNBA. If he were in any other sport, he wouldn't be a GM in the first place

LOOK AT THIS GOOFY ASS nikka.

Im a big Angel Reese fan from the standpoint that she was a big contributor to me caring about womens ball. But, I gotta admit she is pretty trash on this level. cant shoot. miss layups. no real moves...

The dumbest thing about the Sky suspending Angel for a half is that the article came out prior to their game against Connecticut. She said she apologized to her teammates. I thought that was the end of it. So she gets suspended the next game because she reached the threshold of 8 techs, then the team decides to send another message by suspending her for a half (where she ultimately didn’t play the enter game)?
