NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - The depression Chamique Holdsclaw battled throughout her WBNA career probably played the biggest role in her decision to retire.
Tennessee's Pat Summitt, Holdsclaw's college coach, said Holdsclaw first told her she was considering retirement while she was playing with the Washington Mystics. Summitt, who has worked as a consultant for the Mystics, flew to Washington "as a coach and a friend" and spent time with Holdsclaw.
"I said, "OK, you've got a game tomorrow. Let's just go play and see how you feel. If it's not in your heart, then you'll know,'" Summitt said at a Tennessee alumni event in Nashville on Thursday. "She told me after that game, "Coach, it's just not in my heart.'"
