The D-League and the Windy City Bulls are taking small steps towards relevance

The D-League and the Windy City Bulls are taking small steps towards relevance

The NBA Development League began in 2001 with eight teams. Now 15 years later, there will be 22 teams heading into the 2016-17 season, including the newly formed Windy City Bulls. But the league and its players are still fighting to be relevant. The Bulls purchased the team last November. And fans, who helped name the team, can watch them next season at the Sears Center, in Hoffman Estates.…

Stephanie Ready NBA-DL Basketball Coach, Sports Reporter

Stephanie Ready is an American basketball coach who became the first female coach of a men’s professional league team in 2001. From 2001 to 2003, she was an assistant coach for the now defunct Greenville Groove of the National Basketball Development League (the minor league of the National Basketball Association).

Ready serves as a sideline reporter for the Charlotte Bobcats of the National Basketball Association. Ready was also a part-time sideline reporter for The NBA on TNT during the 2006 and 2007 NBA Playoffs, and the WNBA Playoffs on ESPN2 during 2006. Also in 2006 and 2007, Ready worked as a sideline reporter during the first and second rounds of the Women’s Final Four of college basketball for ESPN2. Ready is an alumnus of Coppin State University in Baltimore, Maryland.

A native of Takoma Park, Maryland, Ready was a standout basketball and volleyball player at Coppin State. Ready also ranked in the top-10 on the career list at Coppin State in steals (2nd), assists (4th), points (8th) and rebounds (10th ).

Ready graduated cum laude from Coppin State with a bachelor’s degree in psychology. Ron “Fang” Mitchell, the men’s basketball coach, hired Ready to coach the women’s volleyball team. Mitchell was also the person that urged Ready to pursue coaching basketball and hold off on graduate school.

Hired two weeks before the start of the season, Ready began working with the team and soon the Lady Eagles’ 129-match losing streak was snapped. At the time, Ready was one of the youngest Division I volleyball coaches in the country and she kept the position for three years, until she resigned during the spring of 2001. Mitchell called upon Ready again, but this time he wanted her to assist him on the bench—for Coppin State’s men’s team. She became only the third woman ever to coach Division I men’s basketball.
