From Swish Appeal: Tulsa’s release of Amanda Thompson – a shock to fans?
The Tulsa Shock are shaking up their roster bit by bit – waiving Amanda Thompson and recent acquisition Ashley Walker in favor of free-agent veterans Kiesha Brown and Jennifer Lacy.
Shock head coach Nolan Richardson is not one to shy away from giving his honest opinion and did just that after a May 20th home loss to San Antonio. And now - as hindsight is 20/20 as we all know – his post game thoughts sound almost like a tip of the hand for the coach and general manager of the Shock.
“In my case I have to still wonder if I’ve still got the best kind of players to fit this team,” said Richardson. ”I don’t know anybody. I have not coached not one single person on the floor ever before so when you’ve got that – you’ve got a new coach, you’ve got a new team, you’ve got a new system, everything’s new and it takes time to put new things together.”
The new things being put together will no longer include the local draw of the former Sooner and here are my thoughts on this latest Tulsa Shock roster change.
