Superb story.  I love Tara's personality showing through:

"It makes me cranky sometimes," VanDerveer said. "It's a little stressful. You lose your all-time leading scorer and rebounder, your offense gets put in a handbag and goes to hell, and you've got a lot of freshmen you're counting on. I'm glad I have a long-term contract."

And then her summary:

"Our offense will be more oriented toward the guards. We will push in transition and go, and our bigs will run the floor. It's more get-it-and-go and share the ball."

I'm not sure how we will do this year.  Perhaps this will be an off year--hard to know what to expect.  But it is going to be a very interesting year and the games should be very entertaining.  And knowing Tara, we will wind up doing much better in March than in December.
