Why does she play basketball? Since the enactment of Title IX in 1972, that question has come to be asked of more girls and womenand answered in more waysthan ever before. Christine A. Baker, herself an avid player and an assistant coach, pursues an answer through the ranks of the sport from youth basketball to the WNBA.Baker sets the stage with a quick look at current statistics and trends in womens basketball nationwide, noting the profound changes in the last thirtyfive years. A series of exclusive interviews then takes us into the heart and soul of the sport. Her subjects are players and coaches, from neophytes to stars such as Dawn Staley and Nancy Lieberman; from legendary coaches such as Jody Conradt to the masterminds of USA Basketball and the 1996 Womens Dream Team; from Donna Lopiano, former CEO of the Womens Sports Foundation, to tomorrows Olympic athletes. A richly detailed, allencompassing portrait of the sport, these interviews offer a wealth of insight into the game, American sports culture, and, indeed, why Baker plays.
