Host Howard Megdal is joined by Lindsay Whalen, wearer of many hats. Whalen just completed an offseason where she participated in Minnesota Timberwolves broadcasts and worked for the Big Ten Network as well. She also accepted an ambitious new challenge: head coach at her alma mater, University of Minnesota, while performing the "Dawn Staley": continuing her playing career, the stellar, vital work she does at point guard for the Minnesota Lynx.
Whalen discusses what her new schedule will look like, the important roles of her first two coaching hires, Carly Thibault-Dudonis and Kelly Roysland, along with how she came to see this as the best way forward for her professionally. What she'll take from observing Cheryl Reeve, what the legacy of her Minnesota Lynx will ultimately be, and how a recruit can ever say no to someone recruiting her from inside the locker room of a WNBA dynasty all come up.
Plus, and perhaps most important, Whalen details the latest plans for Gentry, her Instagram alter ego.
