Maybe, just maybe, she wasn't ready to work the NBA. I don't know, I never heard of her; I never saw her work. But working the USBL doesn't have anything to do with working the NBA. I worked the USBL this past season, and there's NO WAY I would consider myself ready to work the NBA. There's just no comparison. Additionally, if she was trying to make it before the NBA went to 3-man, then it would've virtually impossible break in. There were even fewer slots available then than there are now. And I'm sure you know this, but there's no guarantee in life that says everybody gets to live out his or her dream.

Just something to think about.
