I was happy to hear the great news that a friend Jeff House will be one of the new assistant coaches for the Washington Mystics WNBA team. I want to welcome him to the nation’s capitol and hopefully the fresh new look of the Mystics will finish where they left off last season. In the playoffs and without Chamique Holdclaw.

I’m also happy to see Delisha Milton in the mix as well. Come on Mystics ;)
