Rollin' with Nolan

I just read an article posted on a message board that a potential WNBA franchise in Tulsa is talking to Nolan Richardson as a possible coach. Here is a portion of the article:

In a telephone interview Monday afternoon, Richardson acknowledged that he had preliminary talks with investors and said there is mutual interest.
Further talks are needed, Richardson said.“We’ve been discussing some things,” he said, adding that he stopped in Tulsa to meet with investors before embarking on a speaking tour.
“We are probably going to do some more visitation next week when I get back in.”Richardson said the talks did not involve financial figures or “putting a pencil to anything.”
But he told the investors he would like to discuss what they are looking for and what they are expecting.
Former Arkansas All-American Corliss Williamson spent 12 seasons in the NBA under nine head coaches and said in a 2008 interview that he believes Richardson “can do just as good a job or better than some of those coaches.”
Williamson said he and other NBA players used to talk about why Richardson, who excelled as a motivator, never got a chance to show he could coach in pros.
“Guys are curious,” said Williamson. “We all talk about our college coaches - who can coach and who can’t.”
Now it’s possible that Richardson may get a chance to coach in the pros, albeit in the WNBA rather than the NBA.
“Coaching is coaching,” Richardson said Monday. “I don’t look at the females’ game any different than the males’ game. It just depends on how you coach them and how you get them to play.”
Investors in Tulsa’s WNBA franchise said at a July 22 press conference that they have until a Sept. 1 deadline to secure the necessary backing for a team that could begin play in 2010.
