Larry Webster was Diana Taurasi's coach for all four years of her high school basketball career.

He retired in 2004 , but Webster has followed her career since she left Don Lugo High in 2000 .

Webster : "She was the program. She made her teammates better and was committed to them. That's committing to a program".

If everyone stays healthy and they get the right players, a professional team can build on that.

Webster : "I can’t say she is the greatest ever, but I don't know who's better. She's got great vision, great instincts, I think she's one of the best".
