We'll never know if she would've hacked it in the NBA, but I think if anyone could have done it, it's her. She commanded respect from just about everyone.
I don't really watch women's CBB, but she has to be on the Mt. Rushmore of NCAA coaches. You can't say she took advantage of the system, she created the system. If you get a chance go read what that program was like when she took over. There wasn't even an NCAA tourney yet, she made $250 a month and washed the team uniforms herself. Now it's a multi-million dollar sport. Plus she graduated 100% of her players. Pretty amazing.
