Bethany Donaphin Makes The Plays For WNBA Players

Bethany Donaphin, a former WNBA player who also worked for Deloitte and the National Basketball Association, has been navigating the worlds of corporate America and basketball since her retirement from the league following the 2008 season.



Donaphin is currently the Head of League Operations for the WBNA and is responsible for overseeing all on-court basketball affairs, including rule changes, evaluating referees, and applying analytics and innovation for the future benefit of the women’s professional league. 



As Andscape reports, Donaphin, who holds the distinction of being the first New York Liberty player from New York to play for the team, has married the two things she is most closely familiar with–business and basketball–to become a playmaker for the women of the WNBA.
