The San Antonio Silvers announce Sandy Brondello as new head coach, Dan Hughes becomes GM
By Cheryl Coward at 25 February, 2010, 2:35 pm
The San Antonio Silvers shuffled their coaches with the announcement of former assistant Sandy Brondello as their new head coach. Former coach Dan Hughes moves to the general manager position and Brondello’s husband Olaf Lange becomes the associate coach of the team.
“Sandy will be my fourth assistant coach to become a head coach in the WNBA,” said Hughes. “Her evolution from player to coach over the past five years has been unlike any other I have seen. She is an effective teacher of the game, relates to the professional player and is ready to lead a team of her own. Along with Olaf Lange as associate head coach, the Silver Stars family is in great hands. I will do all I can as general manager to compliment this wonderful staff.”
Brondello expressed eagerness to continue learning from Hughes.
"I’ll be using him as a sounding board because I’m a young coach," she said. She and husband Lange are expecting a second child. Brondello expects to give birth in May. The couple have 2-year-old son, Brody.
She joined the team in 2005 and Lange followed during the 2006-07 offseason. He coached at Liberty University and for the German national teams before landing in San Antonio.
Brondello played in the WNBA for five years spending time in Seattle, Miami… Read more

Rutgers coach Stringer: “I won’t be coaching a team that goes to the NIT”

Rutgers coach C. Vivian Stringer comments after St. John’s loss on the possibility of her team playing in the NIT tournament if they do not make the NCAA cut:
Read More >>“We have two games left. I am not even thinking about it. I think that is a long shot at best. I think they would throw us a mercy towel if they did. I am being very honest with you because the only way we could have any kind of a conversation is if we were to do miraculous things at the BIG EAST (Tournament). Since we have not done anything at our own home, I am not willing to put my heart out there and believe that that is going to happen. I can tell you, and people have asked me, will we go to the NIT? I don’t know anything about the NIT and I can guarantee you, I won’t be coaching a team that goes to the NIT. If we don’t go to the NCAA, we aren’t going. I am not going to the NIT. That is second in my opinion and I never will accept it, never have accepted it. Don’t even ask me that question, ever. When it’s done, it’s
