A good job with Dan Hughes' players and with the Coach of the Year looking over his shoulder? I guess...:shrugging shoulders:
I don't remember all of the particulars of the Lennox/Agler feud, I have a vague recollection of her having had some sort of surgery for an injury she had in 2001, then coming into 2002 with some question marks on her health which were further fueled by the way Agler wanted to use her in his lineup. Some with better memories than mine recall him wanting to move her to PG. But the fact that that conversion did not work well and whatever else was going on behind the scenes betweem them, Agler shipped her off to Miami midseason. From what I vaguely recall, she purportedly fluked Miami's physical and they wanted to rescind the deal and Agler was so adverse to having her back on his roster that he sweetened the deal by giving up their first round pick and Miami took her anyway. Agler, who wore dual hats in Minny, stepped down as coach a few weeks later - which raised the question, why trade her if you were gonna fire yourself and not have to deal with her? Lennox has been vocal about her feelings about Agler since then.
From this
article, coach JB might see something she could get out of Lennox.
<snip>..."I believe Betty is misunderstood," said Storm assistant Jenny Boucek, who worked with Lennox when both were with the now-defunct Miami Sol. "She's got a heart of gold. She's one of my favorite players I've coached."...<snip>
But given the animosity Lennox displayed at this franchise in 2005 (including the brilliantly wonderful "I think this interview is over" moment between her and our broadcast crew? I see p o w d e r k e g, in an otherwise harmonious lockerroom. I mean geewhiz, she was carping about the number of shots she got (or might no longer get in Seattle) when Donovan said Bird needed to shoot more last year.
