And so actually on Good Follow Show, we interviewed both Lisa Leslie and Teresa Weatherspoon about these topics.
I do want to go to clips from interviews coming from our very show.
I sat down with these with these two legends and hear what they had to say on the topic.
I'm just like, actually, when I did the interview with Spoon, we both were tearing up in that interview because there is a shared experience.
Right.
It's not just for coaches, you know, black women get an opportunity.
And it's not just like, oh, why aren't the black women getting the opportunity?
It's also when they do get the opportunity.
What is the nurturing of that black woman in that role when she has the opportunity?
When this black woman has this seat as head coach, for me, is it she being supported and giving the chance to implement her system?
Is she being given feedback?
And is her vision and voice being supported or is she working within an organization where she's facing opposition?
Can you imagine how can you succeed when you're not getting wind beneath your wings or when you have to when it's opposition you're trying to implement?
I just want to make sure, too, that the bar doesn't get changed when we're talking about black women holding that seat.
And I do think that happened.
The bar got changed when Therese in the situation of the Chicago Sky.
And I want to bring this up.
This isn't about me coming for this is not about coming for Tyler Marsh's head.
This is this is about the Sky franchise.
This has nothing to do with him specifically.
