clt says that is absurd that āp5ā conference would be included in a contract
p5 doesnāt exist
WBB is not the stongest sport in the AAC. The highest RPI last season was 85, with three teams between 85 and 100. Very Meh. Hope we get a good young coach, anyway.
Sorta odd that we would limit it to P6 institutions but guess that has more to do with money than it does with NET rankings, though Marquette was top 50 at #42 this past season.
So we get $260k? It is much nicer to get paid when a coach leaves than to have to pay a coach to leave.
Clt says āWho is Cara? Our coach is Karenā
Yeah Iād agree with @4ever_niner here. Itāll be just as difficult to find a coach as it wouldāve been in CUSA.
Judy had connections in realm of WBB which Mike probably does not have. Every coach she hired went on to a P5 program, though my personal opinion is that her last one was her worst. Caraās a pretty good coach now, but was clueless and relying on experienced assists and Karenās recruits for at least the first three years.
Mikeās going to do OK and if he doesnāt, people will not care like football or menās basketball.
Iād say the level of interest is comparable to softball and he for sure hit a home run with that hire, so fingers crossed.
I hope itās a good hire. 14 years ago we beat South Carolina in the WNIT, now look at them. It appears that some schools have pushed that program but we never did.
Yep, I went down to Columbia to watch us play sometime before 2010 and someone was giving away free tix in the parking lot. They were that bad.
I will give Hill credit for his coaching hires outside of Sanchez and Healy. Sanchez was a good hire on paper while Healy was a reactionary hire once he lost his guy. Jury is still out on Poggi, but he seems to be bringing in the right pieces. We all know Fearne can coach and weāll see if he can recruit with limited resources.
The Healy job seemed like a great hire at the time. Him being FCS coach of the year and all. The issue is that he only knew how to recruit at that level.
But I still think the rise of WBB is in its early phase so thereās still a lot of room to move up and itās definitely possible. Iām excited to see what this new era will look like.
Coincide this with a possible return of the Sting and our first pro womenās soccer team coming in August, this city as a whole might become an awesome womenās sports town!
clt says we should get a player like caitlyn clark, that seems like a good idea
Splendid thought!!! Letās do that!
Girls are leaving nowā¦ which is understandable. Wonder if Dazia follows Cara?
Do we even have an interim coach at the moment?
Cant blame her.
Iām only surprised that it took Cara leaving for her to enter the portal. I pray she doesnāt go to Marquette. She will get better coaching and enjoy her surroundings more somewhere else.
