On this episode of Levels to This, Sheryl Swoopes and Terrika Foster-Brasby are joined by Naismith Hall of Famer Van Chancellor, the Houston Comets head coach who won the WNBA's first four championships (1997–2000), was named Coach of the Year three straight times, and coached Sheryl for a decade in Houston and to Olympic gold in 2004. Van talks about the Comets' return to Houston, how he'd build a contender today, and why managing three superstars was 80% of his job. The admiration runs both ways: Van calls Sheryl possibly the greatest small forward ever, and Sheryl tells him he made her a better human, not just a better player. And after two years of Terrika trying to get dirt on Sheryl, Van finally delivers it, from her shopping habits to her Coke-and-Snickers pregame meal.

On this episode of Levels to This, Sheryl Swoopes and Terrika Foster-Brasby break down Cathy Engelbert's retirement announcement, timed to slip out while the media's attention was on FIBA in Berlin (nice, Cathy!), and run through the names being floated to replace her. They also dig into Team USA's uneven start at FIBA, including the ugly shooting night against Italy. The duo saves their sharpest words for Linda Cohn, who suggested A'Ja Wilson was intimidated by Caitlin Clark before flipping her stance entirely, and Sheryl and Terrika don't hold back on media members rendering opinions on a sport they aren't actually qualified to be talking about.

On this episode of Levels to This, Sheryl Swoopes and Terrika Foster-Brasby cope with the fact that Athletes Unlimited basketball is paused for 2027. It's a bummer! They also weigh in on DeWanna Bonner signing with the Dream (LOVE it) for another title run, and turn to the ridiculous criticism of A'ja Wilson's and Kelsey Plum's stepping away from FIBA. What's with people still scrutinizing players' personal needs? No is a complete sentence. Take the note: FIBA break is a break, and Terrika means it.
