Coach Amaka Agugua-Hamilton has assembled a roster that Tony Bennett would surely love: she’s only got 11 players. Heck, there are more people listed as coaching staff than there are players. It would appear that the rotation, if more by necessity than coaching prerogative, will be tight.
The theme for these Virginia Cavaliers is that change is good. I’m not going to rehash the Tina Thompson era. Thompson is WNBA royalty and she seemed like a home-run hire four years ago, but let’s just say that her stint here was unsuccessful. Agugua-Hamilton seems much more the home-run hire and she has completely turned the expectations for this program around.
