Not A Shock: Detroit WNBA Franchise Heading To Tulsa

And Nolan Richardson will be the coach and the GM...

Those of us at OSG HQ figured he'd resurface somewhere, but not necessarily there...

An official with the Detroit Shock, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Monday its WNBA team is moving to Tulsa.

The Shock has been in Detroit since 1998 and has won three WNBA titles -- in 2003, 2006 and 2008. Last month, the team lost in the Eastern Conference Finals after rallying to earn a playoff spot.

A group of investors has been seeking to bring a WNBA team to Tulsa and just last week filed the official paperwork seeking a team.

A press conference is scheduled for Tuesday morning local time...

We'd just like to know if anyone has told current Shock coach Rick Mahorn about the sale and move...???

Just axin'...

WNBA Brawl

OK, I know you've seen this everywhere by now, but I couldn't resist posting this. Candace Parker and Plenette Pierson going at it...

Also, Rick Mahorn was involved in the nasty 2004 fight between the NBA's Detroit Pistons and Indiana Pacers.

Connection? Coincidence?
