Biography of Ann Elsie Strother
Ann
Elise Strother ( born December 11, 1983 ) is an American professional basketball
player and a member of the WNBA's Atlanta Dream.
High school
Regarded by many as the best girls' high school basketball player ever to come out of the U.S. state of Colorado, Strother led the Highlands Ranch High School Falcons to two consecutive state championships her junior and senior seasons and was named the Naismith High School National Player of the Year in her senior year (2002). In 2001, Strother became only the second high school player in USA Basketball history to receive the honor of playing for the Junior World Championship Team, the other being Lisa Leslie in 1989.
College
Strother was recruited by national powerhouses such as the University of Connecticut (UConn), the University of Tennessee, the University of Georgia, Stanford University, Notre Dame University, and Purdue University before ultimately committing to Connecticut. At UConn, Strother would play for future Hall of Fame inductee Geno Auriemma and alongside two-time National Player of the Year Diana Taurasi while helping Connecticut to its fourth and fifth national titles. Strother played in all 143 games of her collegiate career and started in 142. She averaged 12.9 points per game in her career and 14.0 in her senior season despite festering foot problems. Strother would eventually finish seventh all-time among UConn scorers with 1699 career points, and second all-time in career three-point field goals with 290. Strother joined some elite company when she became only the second player in UConn history to amass more than 1600 points, 600 rebounds, 400 assists, 100 steals, and 100 blocks- the other being Diana Taurasi. Strother also excelled in the classroom as she was a Dean’s List student all four of her years at UConn.
WNBA
Another of the Pictures of Ann Strother
In the 2006 WNBA Draft, Strother was selected by the Houston Comets with the 15th overall pick before being traded to the Phoenix Mercury for Liz Shimek and Mistie Williams. Due to reoccurring foot pain and a Phoenix bench that was well-stocked with guards, Strother saw very little playing time in her rookie season. During the 2006-07 off-season, the Mercury traded Strother to the Indiana Fever in exchange for veteran center Olympia Scott. On February 6, 2008 Ann was selected by the Atlanta Dream in the expansion draft.

Quotes
* "I think the only way you can accomplish anything is to have a positive
attitude and look at things in a positive light. There are times everyone goes
through that are tough."
* "I think he's (Geno Auriemma) always
acted like a Hall of Fame coach."
* "She's (Diana Taurasi) the most
amazing leader you could ask for, and she just took control. She made me feel
like I had to come out and play."
* "You look at Barbara, Will,
all of us, this is when Connecticut starts to play. When the tournaments come,
this is when we always play our best."
* Geno Auriemma on Ann Strother:
"Nerves are not an issue. To me, Ann Strother is a perfect example of someone
who came in here as a freshman and was never afraid to take the big shot, to have
the ball in crucial situations. Some kids are just different and they have it
in them. She does."
* Geno Auriemma on Ann Strother: "[Strother
is] one of those impact players that makes them when you need them. I can't think
of anybody we'd rather have shooting the ball. When we get Ann off and running
like that, it gives everybody else so much confidence. All of a sudden a three-point
game becomes an 11-point game and everybody takes a sigh of relief. It makes everyone
around her a better player. She's pretty special when it comes to big moments
in games."
