"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.

Cameron said at the press conference that the investment group faces three key issues in landing a team: generating a larger group of investors from the Tulsa community, finding corporate sponsors and building a season-ticket base that will convince the WNBA that Tulsa wants a team.

"I'm guessing part of the reason they are interested is that they know not only my abilities as a coach but my capability of putting butts in the seats," Richardson says.
