WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert addressed rumors of her resignation during her annual pre-Finals press conference on Friday, ahead of Game 1 between the Las Vegas Aces and Phoenix Mercury on Friday. Amid a week of criticism from players and media speculation, Engelbert made it clear she has no plans to step down .
“Obviously, I've never been a quitter,” she said. “I'm entering my 40th year, actually, this month in business. Never been a quitter, never shied away from tough situations. I think in leadership, the cream always rises to the top, and I've always been someone who believes in the fact that if there's things we need to fix, we're gonna fix them. If there's things the players have a perspective on that they don't like that we're doing, or I'm doing, we'll fix them.” Expand
