The New Orleans Pelicans are hiring former UConn and WNBA star Swin Cash for a senior front-office position, reported ESPN’s Zach Lowe.
New Orleans will name Cash vice president of basketball operations and team development, Lowe said. She will scout, help guide player development on and off the floor, and assume other roles within the organization.
Cash, 39, played 15 seasons in the WNBA and made four All-Star teams. She was a member of the 2000 and 2002 national championship teams at UConn and won three WNBA titles. In 2017, the New York Liberty named Cash director of franchise development. She also has appeared across several television platforms in an analyst role, including on NBA TV last season with Griffin.
Cash was drafted No.2 overall in the 2002 WNBA Draft by the Detroit Shock. She led the franchise to two championships in 2003 and 2006 and had her No. 32 retired by the team. She was traded from the team in 2008. The next year, the Shock relocated to Tulsa, Oklahoma. They are presently the Dallas Wings.
