As a girl, Marynell Meadors honed her shooting by aiming her basketball at a net her dad fixed to a Tennessee weeping willow. If she missed, the ball would bounce into her mom’s flower garden, and someone would get in big trouble. She got good at nailing her target then and over the decades as she helped raise her sport to a national profile. Today at 65, she could retire, but instead will coach her WNBA team, the Atlanta Dream, in its first regular-season home game at Philips Arena. She’s leading an expansion team in a young league during a tough economy, a pinnacle that just feels right.http://www.ajc.com/hawks/content/sports/stories/2008/05/22/meadors_0523.html
