Taj McWilliams-Franklin has played basketball for twenty-five franchises, in twelve countries, over twenty-one years.
Just let that sink in for a minute; each part on its own is an amazing achievement. Combined, they make for a legacy of greatness sure to be honored with a spot in the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame.
Now, “Mama Taj” is “Coach Taj.” For years, she was known by the first moniker in WNBA circles. She was the veteran, the leader, the person always there in a motherly way for her teammates. The second part, as she jokes, means she now tells her players at Post University, a small Division II school in Waterbury, Connecticut, go cry on your mother’s shoulder, I’m your coach.
Fun catching up with Taj. We talked about everything from the finals, playing against Catch and with Maya, why it means so much for her to coach at a small school, and a lot more.
