Ariel Massengale commits to Lady Vols

  Ariel Massengale, a 5’6 point guard from Bolingbrook, Ill., had recently narrowed her finalists to Tennessee, Kentucky, Duke and Florida, but the Lady Vols had been her “dream school,” and she made it official Thursday evening with a phone call to Pat Summitt. “I told her that I wanted to be a Lady Volunteer,” Massengale said. “It was a dream. I have always wanted to play at Tennessee. My family visits Tennessee. Both my parents are from Tennessee and when I was younger that was my dream, and I worked hard every day.

“Just to be able to have a dream come true and to live that out, I had to take advantage of it.” Massengale’s parents, Carvel and Anita Massengale, both grew up in Tennessee – Carvel in Shelbyville and Anita in nearby Bell Buckle, a small town in Bedford County. Ariel Massengale’s uncle is a dentist in Knoxville, and has already sent orange attire to the family, but Carvel Massengale said more would be needed now.

 KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- The first individual workouts of the 2010-11 season for the Tennessee Lady Vol basketball team on Thursday in Pratt Pavilion marked the return of assistant coach Mickie DeMoss and junior post Vicki Baugh and the rookie debuts of freshmen guards Lauren Avant and Meighan Simmons. DeMoss came back to Rocky Top after stints at Kentucky, as head coach, and Texas, as an assistant. She was an assistant and associate head coach for the Lady Vols from 1985-2003, as UT won the first six of its eight national titles.

"It's like I'm a kid at Christmas right now," DeMoss said. "These players are so motivated and so focused right now. It's really very refreshing for me. To be back with Pat, Holly and Dean - and to be around the energy and passion they have, it's motivating. I'm really excited to be back."

Amber Gray Not Cleared by Tennessee

 Amber Gray's basketball career at the University of Tennessee is over. The Tennessee athletic department announced Tuesday that Gray, who underwent brain surgery last July, will not be cleared by the department's medical staff to continue her basketball career for the Lady Vols. Gray, an Ohio native, missed the 2009-2010 season after she had surgery to repair a brain aneurysm that had caused her to have a stroke.

Gray's condition became apparent after she underwent surgery for an injured shoulder. It took 12-1/2 hours to repair the broken blood vessel, which had likely been there long before the shoulder injury. The brain surgery saved her life. She played in 27 games as a freshman in 2008-09, averaging 2.7 points a game off the bench. The athletic department issued a release on Tuesday about Gray's status after "careful consideration" and consultation with medical experts. The statement did not include a comment from coach Pat Summitt.

Brittany Jackson, Former Tennessee Star, Pleads Guilty to Assault

 Brittany Jackson, a former Tennessee women's basketball standout who was arrested twice in three weeks this spring, appeared in a Tennessee court Thursday and apologized to the young woman who has accused her of assault after a May incident on the campus of Tennessee Wesleyan College. Jackson, 26, reportedly made her apologies outside the courtroom before heading in to face charges.

She pleaded guilty to an assault charge in what was characterized by police as "domestic situation" and was ordered to play $299.95 in court costs. Jackson's legal trouble is not quite over. She has a July 20 court date in Cleveland, where she faces DUI charges from an incident June 9. She reportedly struck another vehicle at a traffic light before fleeing the scene on foot. She was apprehended later. Share Jackson was a guard for Pat Summitt's Tennessee program from 2001-05. She is currently working as a sports broadcaster.

For starters, Women's Rocky Top League bounces to a good beat

 The inaugural Women's Pilot Rocky Top League essentially was a three-week blind date for Habibi Andre. No wonder the league organizer spoke jokingly of the need for "blind faith." Her devotion generally was rewarded by the first-year venture, which concluded with three games Friday night at Catholic High School.

Team adidas won the championship, beating Smith & Hammaker 82-64. Despite the varying degrees of talent and the lack of familiarity among players, they managed to bond over basketball. Tennessee redshirt freshman Faith Dupree came away from the competition with a hairline fracture of her left wrist after a hard fall last Tuesday. Still, the Lady Vols forward was feeling good about the experience. Before Thursday night's game, she had dinner with Duncan Automotive teammates Natalie Munday and Alexis Rouvelas.

Lady Vol Bjorklund taking it to the rim

 Habibi Andre's list of things to bring to the Women's Pilot Rocky Top League grew by one Thursday night. Along with her NCAA folder, schedule and list of workers, she also brought a camera. The league organizer also was a fan for a night. Her favorite Tennessee Lady Vol - senior guard Angie Bjorklund - was making her summer basketball league debut.

"I've seen how her career has progressed,'' Andre said. "You can see she's hit the gym hard." Bjorklund replaced injured Lady Vol teammate Alicia Manning (high ankle sprain) for DeRoyal and scored 35 points, punctuating an 80-76 victory over Smith & Hammaker with a 3-pointer. "That was fun,'' Bjorklund said. ". . . I had no idea what to expect. You hear the crowd more. It's like playing in high school again."

Wooden's Thoughts on 'Beautiful Game' an Inspiration to Women's Hoop Coaches

 For all of the tributes and accolades and the undying love that John Wooden engendered in men's basketball, there is a special place in the heart of women's basketball for the legendary coach as well. Because coach Wooden loved their game. And he often said so. "The top women athletes play a more pure game than the men," Wooden was quoted as saying. "They play below the rim and fundamentally better." He said women's basketball was "a beautiful game."

Those comments brought the women's game credibility because they came from Coach Wooden. They likely changed the mind of at least a few people who had previously been dismissive or perhaps just uninterested. Coach Wooden's endorsement was like currency and the game was richer because of it. "Anytime you have arguably the best college coach in history saying positive things, people are going to listen," said Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer.

Candace Parker to miss rest of Sparks' season

Candace Parker, the WNBA's rookie of the year and most valuable player in 2008, will have surgery on her dislocated left shoulder and will be out for the season, dealing a devastating blow to the struggling Sparks. The surgery will be scheduled "in the next few weeks," a Sparks spokeswoman said Thursday night.

Parker, who is expected to be out for four to six months, had taken herself out of Sunday's game against the Minnesota Lynx, holding her arm and clearly in pain after pulling down a defensive rebound late in the second quarter.

Teresa Weatherspoon pays tribute to Derek Dooley

 As a former point guard, Women's Basketball Hall of Fame inductee Teresa Weatherspoon knows the value of a good assist. The former Louisiana Tech star said as much in paying tribute to Tennessee football coach Derek Dooley during her induction speech Saturday night at the Tennessee Theatre. As the athletic director at Tech, Dooley hired Weatherspoon to be the women's basketball coach.

"You all have stolen him,'' Weatherspoon said. "He's a wonderful man who has a great vision." Fellow inductee Rebecca Lobo drew some laughs at the expense of her former coach. Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma was Lobo's video presenter and after his flattering tribute, his former star player said, "I'm glad to hear Coach Auriemma say some nice things about me." Then Lobo, a sideline reporter for ESPN, added: "Coach I'll continue taking off my high heels when I interview you." Seriously, Lobo later said, "I know with certainty I wouldn't be inducted into the Hall of Fame if I went to any other university or played for another coach."

Wooden saw value in women's hoops

 John Wooden once made some observations about how he enjoyed what he called the "purity" of women's basketball. He was speaking about appreciating watching the fundamentally sound execution of the top women's players -- which shouldn't have surprised anybody, since doing things the right way was the very foundation of his life.

Over the years, when he subsequently was asked about the women's game, he repeated what he'd said initially. And many times since, I've heard people -- men and women -- who are involved in women's basketball cite Wooden's "blessing," using it almost like a sacred shield against the arrows that are either thoughtlessly or very purposefully shot at the sport. Because if John Wooden approved of it, the "haters" had more than met their match.

Is Mique now more risk than reward?

 In December 2008, word came that Atlanta had traded a first-round draft pick to Los Angeles for the rights to Chamique Holdsclaw, who'd been out of the WNBA since leaving the Sparks early in the 2007 season. The news prompted an ESPN.com column that I started like this: In her pro career, Chamique Holdsclaw has been one of the more complicated people in women's basketball to write about. So it's with caution that we approach the announcement that she's apparently returning to the WNBA this coming season. Well, here we are in May 2010, and the dreaded "other shoe" has dropped again for Holdsclaw.

Days before this season began, the Dream made it known that Holdsclaw had requested a trade and that Atlanta was trying to accommodate her. Then Wednesday, it was announced she had been waived.
