When it comes to basketball, Teresa Weatherspoon knows a thing or two about how to play the game the right way: with grit, determination and passion.
As she begins her stint as the head coach of the Chicago Sky, she will rely on those tangibles that have guided her career as a player, coach and director of player development, and now will steer her through what is already becoming one of the most highly-anticipated WNBA seasons ever.
