    Sun add Gillom as assistant

    • Jennifer Gillom, a Women's Basketball Hall of Famer, will be an assistant coach for the Connecticut Sun this season, the team announced Monday.

    "I am super excited to be working with Jennifer," first-year Sun coach Anne Donovan said. "Our connection goes back to the 1988 Olympic team when we played together. Jennifer brings a wealth of experience to our team. She won a gold medal recently as an assistant coach in London, and she has WNBA head coaching experience.
