Marynell Meadors of the Atlanta Dream
orchestrated the second-best turnaround in WNBA history and for her efforts
was named the league's top coach for the 2009 campaign.
During their inaugural 2008 season, the Dream posted four wins, the second-
lowest total in the league history. One year later, Meadors guided Atlanta to
an 18-16 record and a playoff berth. The 2003 Detroit Shock posted the largest
one-season turnaround with a 16-win improvement.
Under the direction of Meadors, the Dream ranked second in the league in
scoring (84.1 ppg) and first in rebounding (37.0 rpg).
Meadors received 30 votes from a national panel of sportswriters and
broadcasters. Indiana's Lin Dunn collected six votes to finish second.
