Pokey Chatman has seen how good the Indiana Fever can be from the opposing sideline. Cheap Seattle Seahawks Jerseys . Now shell get a chance to lead them.The Fever hired Chatman as their new coach Friday, bringing in a WNBA veteran in hopes of continuing their annual visits to the postseason.I can remember when I first went to Chicago, quite frankly, I was trying to build a team to beat Indiana. What they had built was incredible and to see it from the inside out now is great, Chatman said. They have people who have been here for 14 years in this organization. It speaks volumes to whats going on here.Chatman will take over a team that has a rich history in the WNBA, winning a title in 2012 and reaching the playoffs for the past 12 years. Indiana was 17-17 this past year, losing in the first round. Coach Stephanie White left the Fever after the season to take over at Vanderbilt.My goal was to identify and hire someone who has extensive head coaching experience in the pro womens game and we are fortunate to bring Pokey to Indiana, said Kelly Krauskopf, the teams president and general manager. Her years of coaching elite level players, both in the WNBA and in Europe, bring us great experience and leadership. Her up-tempo philosophy on offense combined with her affinity for toughness on the defensive end fits our organization. I have watched her teams and admired how her players continuously improve from year to year.The 47-year-old Chatman was not retained by the Chicago Sky after this past season when she guided the team to an 18-16 record and an appearance in the WNBA playoff semifinals. She won 106 games in Chicago and led the team to its first-ever playoff appearance in 2013 and a trip to the WNBA Finals in 2014. Chicago made the playoffs in each of her last four seasons.I understand professional sports, Chatman said. I have a lot of pride in what we were able to accomplish in Chicago in six years. I think the competitor in me is sad I didnt win a championship.Now she has a new job nearly three weeks later.Im elated and excited about it, Chatman said of the chance to lead Indiana. I didnt really think about the time frame and how quickly it was until I read it somewhere. Im excited about it.The Fever will have a different look not only on the sidelines, but also on the court as longtime star Tamika Catchings retired. Indiana still has a strong nucleus with Briann Janaury, Erlana Larkins, Tiffany Mitchell and Marissa Coleman.I dont have to reinvent the wheel here on either side of the basketball, Chatman said. There are areas we want to enhance, but if it aint broke were not going to try and fix it.Before taking over Chicago in 2011, Chatman spent 16 years at LSU, her alma mater. The Louisiana native was an assistant from 1992-2004 before becoming the head coach. She was 106-19 as the head of that program, including a 15-5 mark when she was the interim leader in 2004 when longtime coach Sue Gunter left the team because of a lung disease.Chatman will just be the coach in Indiana. She also was the general manager in Chicago. Having one job now is something that Chatman was happy about.I am looking forward to just being the coach, she said. I also am looking forward to learning from Kelly. I did have that role before. Its nice to have eyes and ears and a conversation with someone who had so much success from a learning standpoint. I welcome the opportunity to learn and just focus on the basketball half.---Follow Doug on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/dougfeinberg Cheap Seahawks Jerseys Authentic . -- Brandon Jennings made the most of his first game with the Detroit Pistons on Sunday night. Cheap Seahawks Jerseys .ca! Hi Kerry, Heres an interesting one. I know its common knowledge that all players are responsible for their sticks. We witnessed that when Zack Kassian hit Edmontons Sam Gagner in the face after a missed check.http://www.cheapseahawksjerseyselite.com/?tag=cheap-richard-sherman-jersey . In what the team had called a retirement, Ryan said Thursday that he is resigning as chief executive of the Rangers in a move effective at the end of this month. The nearly catch Before any of the real batting damage had been done, Dale Steyn could have inflicted some with the ball. Aaron Finch had yet to score a run with he tucked into a full delivery and drove back to Steyn, but did not keep the ball down. Steyns eyes lit up, his vein pumped and he stuck out an arm but even the quickest of reactions was not good enough to hold on. The ball grazed Steyns fingertips and went for four and the floodgates opened.The actual catch Andile Phehlukwayo would not have been happy with himself when he bowled a second bouncer in his fifth over, which was called wide, and he had to bowl an extra ball. But it turned out to a blessing in disguise. The extra delivery was sent down with a bit of extra bounce and Mitchell Marsh was drawn into a loose stroke. He got a thick edge and Quinton de Kock had to dive one-handed to his right to take the catch at full stretch. He had pulled off a stunner to give Phehlukwayo a third.Miller-time Without AB de Villiers, South Africa missed two run-out chances when Imran Tahir was not backing up enough to receive a throw that could have found Travis Head short of his ground, and then when George Bailey called Head through for a streaky single off Farhaan Behardien but they eventually got one right. Bailey nudged Phehlukwayo to David Miller at midwicket and went for the run that was never on. Miller swooped in and had enough time to underarm the throw onto the stumps before Matthew Wade had even come into the frame.The ugly Quinton de Kocks stunning timing was as easy on the eye as cricket gets, but not all of South Africas innings was as pretty. Rilee Rossouw slugged the ugliesst shot of the innings against an even uglier delivery.Cheap Seahawks Jerseys China. Mitchell Marsh started off with a half-tracker that asked to be hit. Rossouw responded by meeting it a third of the way down the crease and flinging his bat at it to send it through long-off.Bat-breaking It was back-breaking stuff for the Australian attack and it only got worse when de Kock swiped at a Marsh delivery to send him over square leg for six. The shot was so brutal, it broke the bottom of de Kocks bat. Before the over was up, Rossouw blasted a drive down the ground. He didnt get any runs for it but he also did damage to his bat and needed another.The introduction Steve Smith waited until the 18th over to introduce Adam Zampa into the attack and he must have wondered why he waited so long. Zampas first ball was a regulation legbreak, tossed up at Rossouw, who played a shot he could have waited to bring out, Rossouw attempted the reverse-sweep without even giving himself a sighter and missed. The ball was spinning back in and would have gone on to hit off stump and Rossouws party, which was hotting up at 63 off 45 balls, was over. The six By the end of a breathless night, de Kock was hitting sixes for fun. Howeve, the most significant of them came off the 76th ball he faced, He scooped Daniel Worrall over fine leg and into the stands to bring up his 11th ODI hundred. A packed SuperSport Park crowd appreciated the shot a little more than de Kock, who celebrated in fairly quiet fashion for a man who was doing his talking with the bat.
