I didn't see it posted but here is the AI on the story below.

Hmmm, she now coaches the guards. I wonder if there's a college WBB team that could use a coach to coach guards and help recruit outside the US.

"Natalie Achonwa is serving as an assistant coach for the Seattle Storm. She joined head coach Sonia Raman's staff ahead of the current WNBA season following a two-year coaching and front-office stint at the University of Michigan.

Coaching Role & Background:
Transition to the Pros: Despite spending her 9-year playing career as a post player, Achonwa is tasked with developing guards for the Storm, including veteran guard Lexie Brown.
National Stature: Achonwa is a four-time Olympian representing Canada (2012, 2016, 2020, and 2024)"

There was no mention in the AI of her college career.

They did a feature on local TV that discussed that she was indeed coaching the guards although she played as a big.
