Detroit Shock Sign Nancy Lieberman

 
Detroit Shock Head Coach and General Manager Bill Laimbeer announced today that the team has signed basketball Hall of Famer, former Detroit Shock head coach and current ESPN broadcaster Nancy Lieberman to a seven-day contract. "At last year's WNBA All-Star Game, our coaching staff watched Nancy run through the skills test. She was very impressive,"said Laimbeer. "We talked after that if the opportunity ever arose to sign her to a seven-day contract we might give her a call. There is no question she is in great shape. I approached her two weeks ago, but the timing was not right." (link)
