How the Seattle Storm's head coach went from law books to playbooks

For Sonia Raman, becoming head coach of a WNBA basketball team wasn’t originally in the plans.

Sure, she grew up playing the sport. But when her college career ended, she went on to earn a JD/a degree from Boston College Law School. And then, she did what many of us do: she got a regular office job.

So how do you go from working for the US Department of Labor, to starting this year as head coach for the Seattle Storm?
