Gophers legend Lindsay Whalen hired as assistant coach for Minnesota Lynx
Whalen became a local legend at the University of Minnesota, leading the Gophers women's basketball program to their lone Final Four appearance in 2004. Whalen was the fourth overall pick by the Connecticut Sun in the 2004 WNBA Draft but her professional career took off when she was traded to the Lynx before the 2010 season.
