WNBA All-Star Voting Breakdown | Three All-Stars, a 7-Seed & The Outrage | Coaches Co-Op

The All-Star starters are set and so is the outrage. In Season 2, Episode 5 of Coaches Co-Op, Coach P and WNBA Tay break down why the Indiana Fever landed THREE All-Star starters as a 7-seed, why the Atlanta Dream got shut out, and the debate everybody’s having: does your team’s record decide if you’re an All-Star? We go inside the fan / media / player vote (yes, Aaliyah Boston was #1 with fans and #8 with players), run Washington Watch after the Mystics’ 4-overtime marathon, update our predictions-vs-reality standings, call Dallas “pretenders, not contenders,” and fire off a round of Yay or Nay before Tay’s Parlays.
