Hoops legend Cheryl Miller filled with pride as Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese make mark on WNBA
PHOENIX (AP) — Cheryl Miller watched intently at All-Star weekend practice on Friday as Caitlin Clark initiated the offense, whipping the ball around the perimeter before a pass to center Jonquel Jones led to an easy layup. Then they did it again — this time it was Angel Reese who finished with a bucket.
The WNBA’s future was right in front of her. And the sight was glorious.
The 60-year-old coach beamed: “The possibilities are endless.”
Miller — a women’s hoops trailblazer and one of the game’s early stars in the 1980s — will be the coach for Team WNBA when it faces the U.S. National Team in the league’s All-Star game on Saturday. For Miller, it’s the culmination of more than 40 years of working to grow the women’s game.
“It’s a unique collaboration of the best players in the world,” Miller said. “What coach on this planet wouldn’t want to be in that situation? Now it’s my job is just to stand back, roll out the ball and be the cheerleader. It’ll be a lot of fun.”

Feeling pride in these rookies
Cheryl Reeve is a petty and jealous person who in my opinion has no business coaching - especially Team USA Women’s Basketball
