Palin's got nothing in the experience department compared to this lady.

From World Hoops Blog comes a rather delightful tale of a mother and son getting closer. The ABA's South Texas Showboats (who are still holding tryouts!) have just hired their newest coach, Lisa Felton. How did Lisa get the gig? Well, she's got extensive experience playing in various leagues and a commitment to excellence, of course!

Oh, and her son, Jay Bowdy plays on the team.

Man, seriously. This is the year of the woman.

The ABA season kicks off in December.
