Re: WNBA to stop play during 2004 Olympics

I think past loyalty to USA teams is also a consideration in selecting a 
team.  I agree, though, that the USA team needs to keep pace with the up 
and coming talent so that our efforts do not see a complete turnover in 
one olympic cycle...there's always been a few young-guns on each olympic 
team (even back when it was mostly overseas players, there was at least 
1 collegian a la Lobo).
