just curious because reading/watching knb is both enhanced and ruined by my nba basketball knowledge in different ways.

for example, I’m from the americas and I always thought it was weird that murasakibara wasn’t called for a defensive three-second violation (that is, staying in the paint for longer than 3 seconds without actively guarding another player) but that’s an NBA/WNBA only rule!

Talking about overseas content - EuroLeague is on a ~2 week break because of an International Window for Women's Basketball. But, this window is for the FIBA Women's Pre-Olympic Qualifying Tournaments, aka the 2024 FIBA Women's Americas Pre-Qualifying Olympic Qualifying Tournament, which featured the 3rd-6th placed teams from the 2023 AmeriCup. The WNBL didn't take a break for this November window, but they will have one in February 2024, and also had one in early 2023 last season. So why does EuroLeague have to follow this window?

Is it maybe qualifying for 2025 Eurobasket?

European basketball has so many layers lol

I think I saw the Saballys are in Germany and Meg is a mercenary for Spain. Neither Spain nor Germany are eligible for the Olympics so I think it's Eurobasket stuff.

To put it another way: UConn is adding the No. 1 player in the class of 2024 with Sarah Strong, a 6-2 forward. Auriemma believes El Alfy would’ve been the top prospect in the class of 2023 had she hailed from North America instead of Egypt. He pointed to the FIBA U19 World Cup in which she led the entire tournament in scoring at 21.4 points per game — despite not even turning 18 yet — as proof. “She was the best player out there — by far. By far,” he said. “These are the best [19] and under players in the world — including the US — and every coach that came back said she was the best player there.” If the scouting report on El Alfy is accurate, she’s the total package down low. She’s got height (6-5) and length (a wingspan of 6-8, unofficially) that UConn has been missing for years in the post. El Alfy can also step out and hit 3-pointers — another area the Huskies’ bigs have been lacking since Napheesa Collier graduated.

Excelling not only in basketball but also track and field and tennis, she showcased versatility and raw talent across multiple sports. As a standout point guard on the basketball court with unmatched skills and leadership qualities, Staley caught the attention of college recruiters nationwide.

Entering the League After graduating from high school in 1988 as one of Pennsylvania's most highly recruited players ever seen at that time. Dawn Staley faced numerous offers from top-tier universities across America. Ultimately choosing to attend the University of Virginia under legendary Coach Debbie Ryan was a physical decision that would set her on course for greatness.

Career in College Basketball During her time at Virginia (1998-1992), Staley became one of college basketball's most electrifying players. She led her team to three Final Four appearances (1990-1992) while earning All-American honors each year - an impressive feat indeed! Known for her exceptional ball-handling skills and court vision, Staley's ability to control the game and make her teammates better was unparalleled. Her leadership qualities were also recognized when she was named ACC Female Athlete of the Year in 1991 and 1992.

Professional Career Following her illustrious college career, Staley transitioned into professional basketball. In 1996, she joined the American Basketball League (ABL) as a member of the Richmond Rage. Her impact on the court continued to shine as she earned All-Star selections and led her team to an ABL Championship in 1997.

When the ABL folded in late 1998, Staley seamlessly transitioned to the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). She was selected with the ninth overall pick by the Charlotte Sting in its inaugural draft. Throughout her WNBA career, which spanned from 1999-2006, Staley played for both Charlotte and Houston Comets. Known for her tenacity on defense and play-making abilities on offense, she left an indelible mark on each team she represented.

Coaching Career After retiring as a player in 2006, Dawn Staley embarked on a new chapter of her basketball journey, coaching. She began as an assistant coach at Temple University before taking over as head coach at South Carolina in April 2008. Under her guidance, South Carolina has experienced unprecedented success. Staley has transformed South Carolina into a powerhouse program that consistently competes at the highest level. The Gamecocks have won multiple Southeastern Conference (SEC) regular season championships and SEC Tournament titles under her leadership. Most notably, Staley guided South Carolina to their first-ever NCAA National Championship victory in women's basketball during the historic season of 2016-2017.

Beyond coaching at South Carolina, Dawn Staley has also made significant contributions internationally by serving as head coach for Team USA Women's Basketball since March 2017.
