Who Would It Be?

WNBA players sound on which of their peers would make the best coach, the best President of the United States and the best last-second shooter.

Who would make the best coach?
"I think Kara Lawson will be
the best coach someday."
— Swin Cash, Detroit Shock
"I would say Dawn Staley, but that's already happened. It would have to be one of the veteran players, someone with a lot of experience."
— Ruth Riley, San Antonio Silver Stars
"I think Stacey Dales (left) would
make a great coach."
— Candice Dupree, Chicago Sky

"Kelly Schumacher. You should see that girl overseas. I played with her in Barcelona, and she is talking all the time in everyone's ear."
— Kendra Wecker, San Antonio Silver Stars

"Tamika (Raymond)."
— Katie Smith, Detroit Shock
"Becky Hammon."
— Sherrill Baker, New York Liberty
"I would think she's already doing it: Dawn Staley.
I think she's doing a really great job."
— Nykesha Sales, Connecticut Sun
"I'm biased, but Tamika Raymond (right) already has a head start at Ohio State."
— Shona Thorburn, Minnesota Lynx
"I think it would be a point guard, but there are
a lot of people who know the game of basketball. Almost anyone who makes the WNBA has
learned so much that they could ultimately
be a great teacher of the game."
— Temeka Johnson, Los Angeles Sparks

Who would be the best President of the United States?
"Probably someone like Katie Smith, because she is always continuing her education."
— Shona Thorburn, Minnesota Lynx
"Maybe Sheryl Swoopes, because she loves
getting her point across, I learned that at
NBA All-Star Weekend."
— Candice Dupree, Chicago Sky
"Chantelle Anderson. She is a political beast."
— Kendra Wecker, San Antonio Silver Stars

Who do you want taking the winning shot in Game 5 of the WNBA Finals?
"It would have to be someone on
my team. How about myself?"
— Swin Cash, Detroit Shock
"Either Lisa Leslie or Chamique Holdsclaw."
— Temeka Johnson, Los Angeles Sparks
"It was Pee Wee Johnson (right)when
she was on our team. When she has
her game face on, she's money."
— Kendra Wecker, San Antonio Silver Stars
"Myself or Tweety (Deanna Nolan)."
— Katie Smith, Detroit Shock
"Me, ha ha."
— Sherill Baker, New York Liberty
