The Washington Mystics are just two wins away from winning their first WNBA championship in franchise history. It will also cap off a gradual, yet meteoric rise for the franchise since some truly terrible seasons.
On Friday, ESPN’s Mechelle Voepel wrote a column on the Mystics’ rise from their long history as the WNBA’s laughing stock franchise where fans would pejoratively call them the “Mistakes.” It also builds on a column I wrote on Swish Appeal last year.
In Voepel’s piece, Head Coach Mike Thibault and Assistant Coach Marianne Stanley were interviewed about their experience with the Mystics in the 2012-13 WNBA offseason.
