Storm assistant Pokey Chatman walked onto the court for warmups Tuesday at Wintrust Arena a little more than an hour before tipoff between her former team and her current one, hugging familiar faces as she made her way to the visitors’ bench.
It’s a standard occurrence for Chatman when she’s back in Chicago to stop and talk with the Sky’s staff, from CEO Adam Fox to vice president of basketball operations and strength-and-conditioning coach Ann Crosby. The WNBA world is small, and Chatman spent six years of her coaching career with the Sky.
