Hey
@burnaboy
…my players put me on to your music this morning! It got us through our individual workouts. They would love for a RT & possible shout out. Appreciate you & ya music

The dopest part about our league is the inclusion!!! The
@WNBA
is relatable and relevant to all ages, colors, genders, sexual orientations, etc! That’s why supporting the league is supporting the future!
And the Virginia Tech love has been INSANE!! Y’all know I am already on the grind but I promise I will try to get back to every text, call, and tweet soon! Let’s go Hokies!
Welcome

#UnleashThePRIDE
Had to watch her greatness on the court from afar but after meeting her I have no doubt Liz will dominate rehab and do work in the league! Go Hokies!!!
Young PG’s (I know people think it’s a dying breed but I refuse to believe this), please make sure you’re studying the game! Watch film, watch college womens games, watch WNBA so that when you step on the floor you’re able to KNOW what it looks like. IQ doesn’t go out of style!
Players please stop thinking the only way to get a bucket on a 2-on-1 transition break is to euro step and get a layup for yourself. I promise you passing that 🏀 will get you ooh’s/aah’s and looks from schools. Dime droppers & good teammates get love too!!

It has been a whirlwind of a few days but I can not let another minute go by without expressing my deepest gratitude and love for Penn State, the State College Community, and everyone I had the pleasure to work with! You welcomed my family with open arms and I will forever be

#BunQueen
Hey UVA fans I know it’s heartbreaking about the boys squad but if you could channel all of your positive energy into the girls squad they play tomorrow! An upset can work in our favor too

#Wahoowa
Words can’t describe how full my heart is that my Dad got 2 see me Coach! He’s the one who put the ball in my hands & now he’s personally witnessed me in another realm of the game! I can never repay all he (& my Mom) have done to get me here but I can give my all 2 game we love.
So thankful for each and every one of you who took time out of their day to wish me a happy birthday! I wouldn’t be in any other place than in a basketball gym (thanks Chicago & Indy for allowing me that 😃)! Love each and every one of you!

Spending time this morning with

made this military brat’s heart smile. Thankful for my mother for serving 20 years in the Air Force and thankful for our Corps Cadets for their service. Go Hokies!
Listen...

#WNBAFinals
Happy birthday to the legend herself
@TReiss32
! Everyone please take a second out of your day to say happy bday and let coach know how much you love her. The sweetest heart with the most passionate fire inside- thank you for allowing me to live this dream alongside of you!
Year 5 but also a year of firsts. 1st year as recruiting coordinator, 1st year quarterfinals in B1G play, 1st year dressing up 😂😂, 1st win in post season…blessed and thankful can’t fully exemplify my gratitude.
Continuing 2 learn. Continuing 2 grow. Continuing 2 grind

Words can’t really express how grateful I am to start the next chapter; coaching for The University of Rhode Island! Not only is this an amazing campus, with some great facilities, but the BEST part is learning and working under of the best coaches in the game,
@TReiss32

I’m SICK of seeing black men die on video! It’s necessary because it’s obvious that these videos help (in SOME cases) to get justice but goodness it is exhausting! Things need to change!!!!
Happy birthday to the boss
@TReiss32
! One of the most energetic, passionate, and just dope souls I know! Super thankful to get the opportunity to learn from you every day Coach! Today is your day to be spoiled even more rotten 😂
#HoosToRhody
Want to know why I play so hard every game? Because 6 years ago today the game was taken away from me for almost 9 months! I will never take it for granted again! God blesses me every time I step on the floor to be able to play & I appreciate it!
LET ME TELL YOU HOW PROUD I AM THAT A WOMAN WHO HAS FACIAL EXPRESSIONS LIKE MINE, SPEAKS LIKE ME, AND LOOKS LIKE ME IS ON THIS VICE PRESIDENTIAL STAGE TONIGHT
#VPDebate
Oooohhhh Louisville - you brought some spice today! The PG’s were diming, the shooters were shooting, the swings were ballin, the posts were posting and honeyyyy those benches were lit! Great Day 1!

Happy National Boss’s Day
@TReiss32

#GoRhody
Today has been the worst and hardest day of my life! I laid to rest my confidant & the person I trusted the most in this world! I hope ur Homegoing Service made you smile and made you proud! Love you and know you are enjoying being up in Heaven with our Lord and Savior.
Auschwitz was one of the most gut-wrenching and emotional trips I’ve ever taken. Playing in Poland for 9 years made this experience a must. The most unsettling part is the similarities between then and now w/ segregation and inhumanity amongst one another.
#LearnFromHistory
Bittersweet feelings as I will be saying goodbye to URI.
@TReiss32
has brought me in as family and has helped me in ways you couldn’t imagine. This is just a business to some but to her it’s more than that. She’s allowed me to grow on EVERY way possible.
My agape love. My reason to be on Earth. My best friend. My praying grandmother. Now due to God’s timing and Him wanting you home you are my Angel! 💔💔🕊
Some of the best years of my life were while I was at UVA. So thankful for

@WNBA
news today: do not forget about all of the greats who helped to pave the way for you! Those players that played in the ABL, the start of the WNBA, etc.. Always pay homage and appreciate their sacrifice!
I love bossing up and supporting women especially when they have projects that encourage and support women making BOSS moves! Shout out to
@BossBabesNFT
for the seamless mint process AND for my first 1/1 mint! What do you think of these Boss Babes??
One of the biggest lessons of this year’s draft has been “levels don’t matter”. I 100% agree HOWEVER, development does matter! Go to a program that will DEVELOP your mentality, your maturity, AND your basketball skill set!
It’s not always easy but you make it worth it! I live every day to make you proud son. I am officially the Mommy of an independent, witty, & compassionate 3 year old 😳😳! Here’s to another year of adventures, road trips, learning, growing & walking in your purpose King Bo!
Ladies, if you wow me with a bomb first step on offense....PLEASE also wow me with your first 2 steps to get back on D.
If there a clear difference in your offensive athleticism and your defensive athleticism then that is a problem.
Really proud of this group. Wins and losses are one thing but here with the Belles we focus on getting great kids scholarships, developing their talent/character, and getting them ready for the next level! Wouldn’t want to coach any other group of young queens.
Thank you
@dawnstaley

My 1st Mother’s Day was all I prayed for. So blessed to have a partner of 12+ years that is the backbone of our family and is already proving to be an amazing mother.
#HappyMothersDay
Off season allows for play dates at the park! Having this time with my son provides me with perspective, a sense of humility, and purpose. My why behind all of the ups and downs
#Sonshine
1st year of coaching is in the books. A year full of learning, growing,& balling for our newly formed Rhody family. I can’t say it ended the way we wanted but I can say that there’s a lot to be taken away from the process of this year. (Cont)

because no one should be targeted for who they are, who they love, or what they believe. More must be done to prevent hate-fueled gun violence. I don’t want my son to grow up & fear for his life due to the color of his skin or bc of his beliefs!
#TheWWearsOrange
Talk about life coming full circle! Coach
@klhoops
coached me in AAU from 12/13-17 and now he’s in the stands as I coach at the D1 level! Life is crazy! Thank you for always being there coach and showing me the ropes!
At a loss for words that my baby boy was able to see his first live

game! He even got to take in some of
@RhodyMBB
practice! Such a surreal feeling 💙🐏💙
By far one of the hardest days of the year for me. Not having you here makes most memories less enjoyable. But I know you sent our baby here to stand in your place! I love you and miss you so much Mom Mom. Happy Heavenly Birthday to my Angel!
Get you a HC that holds herself and everyone around her accountable to GREATNESS! I’ve made extreme strides as a coach because of how she pushes me to be better.

A deal that exemplifies the respect that Coach Reiss deserves. She does things the right way and with genuine intentions! So proud and humbled to be able to learn from and work beside a legend!!

My grand mother is the GOAT at gassing me up! I talk to her every morning on the way to work and between the Word and her gas I feel like I can accomplish ANYTHING when I get off the phone with her!
#JackieMackGene
Dream it. Believe it. Work for it. Live it. Love it! Tonight will be a dream come true for some...and a source of extra motivation for others! No matter where you fall give your all to this game and it will give you more in return!!
#WNBADraft
I’ve grown my family, grown my coach’s voice, grown in development, and grown as a woman! I’ll always have her back and she (and

@TReiss32

While I’m on a rant...to all the “trainers” PLEASE stop “teaching” kids to euro step before they can make lay-ups and jumpers at an average rate! 2 many kids out here trying to Euro and jelly and they are throwing the ball over the backboard 🙄

“Loving Day was inspired by the Loving v. Virginia (1967) U.S. Supreme Court decision, & Richard and Mildred Loving's fight for justice as an interracial couple.” W/O this decision, there would be no ME! Thankful for those who sacrificed & fought before me so that I could live.”
Leaving Virginia with a close W! Finding ways to win this late in the year is such a gem!
And having some of my faves in the building was allllll that! Loved seeing those faces 😉😉😉
