Caitlin Clark knows all about bringing along the younger players.
She was one of the youngest players asked to try out for USA Basketball’s 2019 FIBA U19 World Cup Team. Clark made the team and played a surprisingly key role in helping the USA win the gold medal.
Two years later, Clark is a two-time gold medalist and one of 25 participants attempting to make the 2021 version of the same team this weekend at Metro State University in Denver.

(UW-OSHKOSH ATHLETICS) UW-Oshkosh senior guard Leah Porath has been recognized as one of the top five NCAA Division III womenâs basketball players on the 2021 D3hoops.com All-America First Team.
Porath is the programâs first player to receive D3hoops.com First Team honors after also garnering 2021 All-America First Team accolades from the Womenâs Basketball Coaches Association. Due to a 2021 campaign in which many teams played conference-only schedules, D3hoops.com did not select a national Player of the Year.
Porath, a 2020 D3hoops.com Third Team All-American, is the first Titan to earn multiple national honors from the online organizationâs postseason awards program that began in 1998. UW-Oshkoshâs previous D3hoops.com All-Americans were Kay Mikolajczak (2004 Second Team) and Taylor Schmidt (2017 Honorable Mention).
Mohegan Jennifer Rizzotti felt like she needed a break after George Washington fired her as head coach of the women s basketball team back on March 15.
Rizzotti had been a college head coach for the past 22 seasons, the first 17 at the University of Hartford. The former UConn great led legislative meetings for the Women s Basketball Coaches Association and has been part of USA Basketball, too.
Rizzotti began having second thoughts about taking a breather when the Mohegan Sun came calling for her to be the president of the Connecticut Sun. I really didn t know what I wanted to do next, Rizzotti said at her introductory press conference on Tuesday at Mohegan Sun Arena. This opportunity came up pretty quickly, or at least the idea of it, and it became more of a reality as the weeks went on.
