Our family welcomed twins last week. Everyone is healthy and well. My husband and I are adjusting to a lifetime of zone defense we’ll play with three kids under three. It’s an adventure and we wouldn’t have it any other way. See you in 2026 for the college season. Happy hooping.

Long in the works and published today: At a ‘crisis moment,’ women’s college basketball officiating needs a way forward From @ChantelJennings @NicoleAuerbach nytimes.com/athletic/62162…

As the sport hits new highs and breaks records, the state of women's college basketball officiating feels more important than ever. What are the issues? And, what comes next? "This is a five-to-10-year fix. And we're nowhere close to starting that." nytimes.com/athletic/62162…

I've been off Twitter for a while (it has been lovely) but have decided to come back to social media during the NCAA Tournament. Haven't decided fully if I'll be here or at bluesky (probably not both), but you can follow me there at @chanteljennings.bsky.social.

Fairfield coach Carly Thibault-DuDonis passed on the opportunity to speak to Wisconsin and has not accepted that HC job, per a source.

On this week’s special episode of The Women’s Basketball Show, @ndwbb forward Kate Koval shares her journey. 🎧 Listen here: pod.fo/e/2a555e?utm_m…

When Kate Koval arrived at the gym for her game, almost 12 hours had passed since she had heard from her parents. They lived near the center of Kyiv, and on the morning of Feb. 24, 2022, Russia had invaded Ukraine. This is her story. ✍️ @ChantelJennings

Sports jobs are union jobs. We belong.

My dad was a proud union man, with the Postal Workers. My mom was a union supporter, as a registered nurse. Union benefits helped our family when we needed it. I support the Times Guild and my colleagues at The Athletic. Sports jobs are union jobs.

Sports jobs are union jobs. Proud to stand with my colleagues today.

NEW: The staff of the Athletic has signed union cards and today petitioned NYT management to join the Times Guild washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/01…

The Athletic is a unique and valuable voice in Canadian sports media. Its Canadian workers take great pride in the reputation we’ve helped build and the standard we’ve set. That’s why we’re taking steps to unionize our workplace. Our mission statement:

Sports jobs are Times Guild jobs. -30-

Gotta love when elite college basketball feels relatable to those of us who played middle school rec hoops.

Hey all, I haven't used Twitter very much for the last few months, but at some point, I'll be shutting this down and heading over to @bluesky.

Also, Bridget Carleton as Game 4 hero — sinking the two free throws and then defending Sabrina Ionescu for the potential game winner — is just so Minnesota Nice it makes my own Minnesotan heart melt like an ice dam on heated roof.

Kayla McBride starting to dance during her postgame ESPN interview and then rushing over to join her team... "I'm missing the electric slide, Holly!" This team. Headed to a Game 5. Wow wow wow.

Will this be the final night of the 2024 WNBA season? @sabreenajm, @ChantelJennings and I will be live-blogging throughout Game 4 between the Lynx and Liberty, so follow @TheAthletic nytimes.com/athletic/wnba/…

Cheryl Reeve won her first four titles with five players whose jerseys now hang in the rafters. This team — two wins away from the franchise's fifth title — looks different and was built differently. And it might just be her finest coaching job ever: nytimes.com/athletic/58458…
