How many division one coaches can say they spent their summer donning a jersey for WNBA championship franchise the Minnesota Lynx? Just one. Of course, that’s not necessarily what she had planned.
Tanisha Wright inked a free agent deal with the Lynx following the completion of her first season as an assistant coach for the Charlotte 49ers and spent the summer playing for the four-time WNBA Champions. The 2010 WNBA Champion is now a 13-year veteran and continues to help coach the Niners, constantly perfecting her craft both on the sidelines and on the court.
Wright earned a degree intending to become a teacher following school, never expecting to have the length in the basketball career that she has.
