posted by Swish Appeal In keeping with SB Nation’s innovative use of social media in reshaping sports journalism, our vision is a women's basketball site that goes beyond merely providing game reports; instead, we want to capture the narratives that fuel our passion for the game, while maintaining the critical stance that helps us understand the game better. |

"Every women's coach in America should be celebrating this today," Auriemma said of GameDay's presence at the Irish-Huskies matchup. "It's such an incredible step for women's basketball. It's more about women's basketball than it is about the University of Connecticut.
"But you know how it goes. A lot of them will look at it like, 'There's Connecticut getting ESPN again. I'm so sick of Connecticut!' But there's always two ways to look at something. I hope everybody looks at it like, 'Wow, maybe down the road that could be my school.'"

Every female athlete should be celebrating, not just coaches. A significant step forward for women's sports as a whole. When you are in the business of providing sports opportunities for young girls as I am, this coverage means progress.
