Brittney Griner can play basketball...

Griner also can dunk the basketball...
Check out what she did yesterday as her most recent example...

Ref Cam Debuts In WNBA
((HT: WNBA))
Lamont Simpson will be the answer to the trivia question:
Who was the WNBA ref that wore the funky glasses and camera on his head when Indiana played Phoenix...
In a league that is trying to find some kind of identity and some other kind of media recognition (other than scoff and/or ridicule when they play), the league decided to push the envelope a little bit...
And this is what they came up with...
"The first half, it took some adjusting to, especially when you started running and actually broke a sweat," the veteran official told wnba.com. "The goggles started to loosen up and the sweat around the band started to loosen up. The first half was pretty much just adjusting the headset."
Here's some of what he saw...
From the league:
Candace Parker tweeted "Ref cam is the most hilarious invention! Omg...comedy"
"Today's broadcast was a great opportunity to be at the forefront in terms of providing viewers with unique perspectives on our game," WNBA President Laurel Richie said. "The use of Ref Cam certainly offered a previously unseen point of view that really brought viewers into the action, adding a whole new visual and audio component to the experience."
It will be interesting to see just how much the league goes to this, or they'll treat it like a cool novelty...

Griner Dunks Twice, Delle Donne Wins...
((HT: WNBA on ESPN))
It was one of the more anticipated match-ups in the debut of the 2013 WNBA season with Chicago and Phoenix...
No, not because it was Chicago and Phoenix, but because it was Elena Delle Donne and Brittney Griner...
Griner gets history, but Delle Donne gets the win...
See if you can guess the voice calling the highlights...

Amazing: Former Women's Hoop Star Hits 132 of 134 3's in 5 Minutes
((ht: cbssports.com))
Holy crap this is impressive. Though the video isn't shot particularly well.
A video posted Wednesday by Kansas State's Woman's Basketball team shows former standout Laurie Koehn shooting 134 3-point shots in a seemingly empty and based on the video, dark, gym.
She hit 132 of those 134 shots. Which is a pretty darn good percentage.
Koehn is a 2005 grad who has played in the WNBA since leaving school and is currently a member of the Atlanta Dream.
Impressive:

Holdsclaw Arrested In Alleged Assault
((HT: WSB-TV))
Late this evening, former women's basketball star Chamique Holdsclaw turned herself in an assault case involving her former girlfriend...
She was charged with aggravated assault, criminal damage to property, and reckless conduct.
Jennifer Lacy, who ID'ed herself to Atlanta police as her ex, was working out at a local church and was apparently confronted by Holdsclaw. Lacy went to a friend's house after the workout and an initial confrontation.
Upon arriving at the second location, it was reported that Holdsclaw fired a weapon, broke Lacy's driver’s side window, a rear passenger’s window and the rear window. She then flashed a handgun, fired inside Lacy's SUV and left, according to the police report.
Police said they recovered a 9mm shell casing at the scene.
Lacy was not injured.
Here's the original report on her charges...
The HQ knows that this is not the last of the situation... and it's a sad end to her playing career and notoriety...

The Beginning Of The End In Knoxville...??? DeMoss To WNBA...
((HT: UTLadyVols.com))
Is this the beginning of the end for the Summitt-coaching group on the UT campus...???
Mickie DeMoss is leaving to take a job with the Indiana Fever of the WNBA to join the staff of Lin Dunn...
"From my perspective, I am so excited for Mickie," head coach Pat Summitt said in a release. "Coaching at the next level has always been one of her professional aspirations, and the Fever is one of the best teams in the league.
"Obviously, Mickie is not only a great coach but she is a lifelong friend. We will certainly miss her at Tennessee and the contributions she has made during the 20 years she has been a part of our championship program."
DeMoss served 20 seasons as an assistant and associate head coach at Tennessee, three seasons as an assistant to Gail Goestenkors at Texas, and four years as the head coach at Kentucky.
Now, the next decisions come from Warlick, Lockwood, and Summitt herself...
Here's what Pat means to her program...
