Pokey Chatman wasnt out of work long; the Indiana Fever are hiring her as their new coach.The 47-year-old Chatman was not retained by the Chicago Sky after she guided the team to an 18-16 record and an appearance in the WNBA semifinals last season. She won 106 games in Chicago and led the team to its first playoff appearance in 2013 and a trip to the WNBA Finals in 2014.I can remember when I first went to Chicago, quite frankly, I was trying to build a team to beat Indiana. What they had built was incredible and to see it from the inside out now is great, Chatman said. They have people who have been here for 14 years in this organization. It speaks volumes to whats going on here.She will take over a team that has a rich history in the WNBA, winning a title in 2012 and reaching the playoffs in each of the past 12 seasons. Indiana was 17-17 last season, losing in the first round of the playoffs. Coach Stephanie White left the Fever after the season to become coach at Vanderbilt.My goal was to identify and hire someone who has extensive head coaching experience in the pro womens game, and we are fortunate to bring Pokey to Indiana, said Kelly Krauskopf, the teams president and general manager. Her years of coaching elite level players, both in the WNBA and in Europe, bring us great experience and leadership. Her up-tempo philosophy on offense combined with her affinity for toughness on the defensive end fits our organization. I have watched her teams and admired how her players continuously improve from year to year.The Fever will have a different look not only on the sideline but also on the court, as longtime star Tamika Catchings retired. Indiana still has a strong nucleus with Briann January, Erlana Larkins, Tiffany Mitchell and Marissa Coleman.I dont have to reinvent the wheel here on either side of the basketball, Chatman said. There are areas we want to enhance, but if it aint broke were not going to try and fix it.Before taking over Chicago in 2011, Chatman spent 16 years at LSU, her alma mater. The Louisiana native was an assistant from 1992 to 2004 before becoming the head coach. She was 106-19 at LSU, including a 15-5 mark in 2004 when she was the interim coach after longtime coach Sue Gunter left the team because of illness.Chatman resigned as LSU coach in 2007 after the university became aware of an alleged sexual relationship between Chatman and a former player on Chatmans team, ESPN reported at the time.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The Jets gave Ryan Fitzpatrick a one-year, $12 million contract in July, yet they could be on the verge of benching him for a second time.?Nevertheless, general manager Mike Maccagnan claimed hes not second-guessing the decision to re-sign Fitzpatrick after a contract stalemate that dominated the offseason.No, I have no regrets about bringing Ryan back, Maccagnan said Wednesday, speaking to reporters for the first time since training camp.Fitzpatrick, coming off a career year in which he set the franchise record with 31 touchdown passes, was benched after a 1-5 start. He got the starting job back because Geno Smith suffered a season-ending knee injury.Now, Fitzpatricks status is again up in the air.He sat out Sunday with a mild knee sprain, as Bryce Petty made his first NFL start -- a 9-6 loss to the Rams.Coach Todd Bowles has declined to name a starter, saying he will make that announcement Monday, when the Jets (3-7) return from their bye week. Its conceivable that Fitzpatrick, who has a league-high 13 interceptions, could be sent to the bench again.Maccagnan defended the decision to re-sign him Wednesday.?I think going into it, we felt very good about the season Ryan had previously, he said. I have no regrets from that standpoint.Of course, I think everybody, and Ryan included, would probably say he holds himself to a faiirly high standard.ddddddddddddIm sure there are aspects that he would like to ... we all would like to have better success on the field as a team. But from the standpoint of bringing Ryan back, no, I dont have regrets on that.Maccagnan declined to comment on the looming quarterback decision, saying Bowles has the final say. The GM said his role is limited to consulting with the head coach.From my standpoint, you like to see young players play, but you also want to make sure theyre ready for that, he said, alluding to Petty. To me, its a more complicated decision than some people realize.With the team out of playoff contention, fans and media are calling for Petty to start. The former fourth-round pick could emerge as the 2017 starter if he plays well down the stretch, but Bowles has said he will start the player that gives the Jets the best chance to win.Fitzpatrick and Smith will be free agents this offseason, leaving Petty and rookie Christian Hackenberg as the only Jets QBs under contract for 2017.Its the biggest question surrounding the team.Its not necessarily unnerving, Maccagnan said. We feel good. We have two young quarterbacks to work with and grow and develop, and well see how we address this going forward. ' ' '
