    🚨 Cathy Engelbert is stepping down as WNBA Commissioner

    In this breaking-news episode of Hoop There It Is, Lindsay Dunn looks at Cathy Engelbert’s seven-plus years at the helm of the WNBA and the complicated legacy she leaves behind. Engelbert oversaw one of the most transformative periods in WNBA history — from explosive league growth and expansion to major media-rights deals and a new CBA that brought historic increases in player compensation. But the story isn’t that simple. Engelbert’s tenure was also marked by controversy, criticism from players and ongoing questions about leadership, officiating, player relationships and how the league handled some of its biggest challenges. Lindsay breaks down the amazing, the complicated and the controversial parts of Engelbert’s legacy — and what her departure could mean for the future of the WNBA. This is a changing moment for women’s basketball. What comes next? #WNBA #CathyEngelbert #HoopThereItIs #WomensBasketball #WNBAnews
