San Antonio Stars News Release
SAN ANTONIO - Legendary college basketball coach Marsha Sharp and retired Silver Stars guard Edna Campbell will join Andrew Monaco on the sidelines during the 2006 season for eight televised Silver Stars games.
Sharp, who this past year announced her retirement as Texas Tech head women's basketball coach, will work four games: June 17 at Chicago, June 23 at Seattle, July 3 at Los Angeles and July 22 vs. Connecticut.
For 24 years as head coach at Texas Tech, Sharp was the reckoning force behind all the success the women's basketball program had. With a career record of 572-189, Sharp saw the Lady Raider program climb to new heights and continued the successful reputation it has had. During Sharp's tenure her teams have made 20 postseason tournament appearances - 18 NCAA and two WNIT, have had 20 20-win seasons and three 30-win seasons. She was twice named the National Coach of the Year and in 2004 her book Tall Enough to Coach hit the shelves nationwide. Along with her Women's Basketball Hall of Fame induction in 2003, Sharp was inducted into the Texas Women's Hall of Fame in 1999 and the Texas Sports Hall of Fame in 2000.
Campbell, who also recently retired after seven seasons in the WNBA, will take the May 31 contest at Phoenix, June 2 at Sacramento, June 10 vs. New York and July 1 vs. Chicago.
A seven-year WNBA veteran, Campbell made the move to San Antonio as a free agent in 2005. In her only season with the Silver Stars she appeared in 28 games, averaging 1.7 points in 8.9 minutes while coming off the bench. During her career she played for four teams, including San Antonio (2005), Sacramento (2001-2004), Seattle (2000) and Phoenix (1999). In 2002, Campbell became the first active player to be diagnosed with breast cancer. After missing the first 31 games of the 2002 season battling the disease, she made a remarkable return to the court in the final game of the season. During the 2003 season Campbell started in all 34 games for Sacramento and received the Kim Perrot Sportsmanship Award.
