Its not really easy to determine exactly how many miles run, due to missed shots and unknown how many times ran up and down the court. Also, generally not all players play the whole game. So, we will just use estimated number.
if you use a score of 90-80 for an average game. that's approx. 45trips down the floor. Now, the players do not make every shot so using a shooting average of 50% that makes approx 90 trip down the floor.
the length of an NBA court is 94 feet.
94 ft x 90 trips = 8460 feet
there are 5280 ft in a mile
8460 / 5280 = 1.602 miles

28.2 million viewers watched game 7 of the 2010 NBA finals, making it the most-watched game since game 6 of the 1998 NBA finals, when Michael Jordan led the Chicago Bulls to their sixth championship. Except for the Olympics, the game was the most-watched show on network TV in the summertime since the finale of the first "Survivor" season in August 2000.
Lisa Leslie was the first to dunk it in a WNBA game, Candace Parker (rookie) was the second. She has dunked it twice this year. They both play for the LA Sparks
the wnba started in 1997 so its been around for fourteen years
The average amount of time an NBA player is actively playing is a little over 6 years.
I understand the Coyotes name was chosen because of the desert areas in Arizona and the southwestern area being the "ancestral home", if you will, of the American coyote.
Also the coyote is the number one animal in Arizona

No woman has ever been a head coach of an NCAA men's basketball team, but Bernadette Mattox was the first female bench coach when she served as an assistant to Rick Pitino's Kentucky Wildcats from 1990 through 1994. Kerri-Ann McTiernan's head coaching stint at Brooklyn Kingsborough Community College makes her the only female to be the head coach of a men's college basketball team at any level.
Teresa Lawrence Phillips actually coached the Tennessee State men's basketball team for one game when the regular coach had been suspended back in February of 2003.
I belive that people have their weaknesses. There is no one terrible.
There are currently 10 WNBA teams coming into the 2010 season. The economic troubles have caused many former teams to fold or relocate, significantly decreasing the number of WNBA teams. They include:
*These teams relocated from previous cities.
The past teams from the WNBA who have folded (which does not include the list of teams above who have relocated) are:

The post of 'NFL President' is known as "NFL Commissioner". The position was known as President between 1920-1941. The current commissioner of the NFL is Roger Goodell.
When a player is waived, it means that the player's team has given up their right to retain that player.
Her team still has to pay her contract until another team either claims that contract (in which case the claiming team assumes the contract) or negotiates a new contract after the player has "cleared waivers"
To clear waivers means that no other team has submitted a claim to that player's contract. Different professional sports leagues have different waiver rules.
Leslie Williams might of been one or i think that's her name
In 2009, there are 13 teams.
Atlanta Dream, Chicago Sky, Connecticut Sun, Detroit Shock, Indiana Fever, Los Angeles Sparks, Minnesota Lynx, New York Liberty, Phoenix Mercury, Sacramento Monarchs, San Antonio Silver Stars, Seattle Storm, Washington Mystics
Former teams are: Charlotte Sting, Cleveland Rockers, Houston Comets, Miami Sol, Orlando Miracle, Portland Fire, Utah Starzz
The assumption is that since women are generally smaller and weaker than men and have smaller hands, they need a smaller and lighter ball. Since the diameter of the rim is the same for men and women, the degree of difficulty in scoring a goal is not as great for the women. This is why many purists do not grant validity to overall NCAA "women versus men" records and achievements. When Chamique Holdsclaw was accorded the distinction of being the all-time scorer at the University of Tennessee (passing Alan Houston), many people felt that this honour was not deserved since she had a distinct advantage over Houston by using a smaller ball and thereby a larger target. The only way to truly "level the playing field" would be to use slightly smaller rims for the women, making the degree of difficulty comparable to that of the men.
None is required if you have played at least two years in a foreign league and are 22 years of age.But that mostly only applies to foreign born players.They like for most players to have four years of college, or have used all of their college credits up.
