On my way home from KWCH last week, I was listening to NPR's Talk of the Nation. Neal Conan was interviewing Jen Rizzotti, a former standout at UConn and 11 year coach at the University of Hartford. The subject of UConn woman's 74-game winning streak turned into a discussion about coverage of the woman's NCAA tournament, or lack there of.
I thought it was an interesting interview given that Rizzotti was former player of the year and played point guard for Uconn's first national championship team. Rizzotti also spoke from a coaches point of view explaining the politics of recruiting and her opinions on talent in woman's sports. She and a few call-ins had interesting theories on why the woman's tournament and woman's basketball as a whole is lacking patronage.
If you have a 20 minutes to listen to a fun interview check this out.

I heard that interview, too. Women's basketball is pretty amazing in Connecticut. I think she's coaching at Hartford now. It was a good piece.
