I don't think the coaches need to get involved - all these players are on social media and following each other. And they can figure out what teams need what and usually have some idea of their level of play. It is a much smaller pond than exists in HS both in terms of players and teams. And...

Chris wanted the Rutgers job before they hired CViv and I think that was the last time she really wanted to leave (She has a AIAW championship from 1982 as a player at Rutgers and was an assistant coach there before she moved to Uconn.) Sometimes the grass isn't greener. As for Shea -...

I am a Uconn fan. And I have to find it amusing that the VolNation condemns a coach for being too hard on his players. Seem to remember lots of stories about Pat locking her players out of their locker room, forcing them to do their own laundry, the icy stare that could freeze your blood, etc...

But Texas has been playing against much better teams a #13 seed a #3 seed and a #2 seed, SC played against #16 seed, #8 seed and a #5 seed. And that #2 seed was leading the country in scoring.

Just did a little research in this century (2000 tournament on) Uconn is: 10-0 in the NC games 10-7 in the Semi finals 17-2 in the Regional finals 19-1 in the Sweet Sixteen. 20 years, 19 Regional finals, 17 FF.

KY had an interesting box score: 22 offensive rebounds and 13 steals and were never in the game!

Interesting coaching tree for Jim Foster : it includes both Muffet McGraw and Geno Auriemma

Congrats to Rennia - I like her game a lot. Scary thing with this list: There is only 1 senior on the first team There are only 2 seniors on the second team There are 4 seniors on the third team. But that means 8 of the fifteen have at least another year and seven of the top ten according to the...

My understanding on Geno's covid positive was he got the positive result and immediately tested again and it was another positive. So the presumption was it was an accurate read. He is about a week past his second shot at this point for the vaccination, so presumption would be he would have a...

Most of those years she was a glorified Personal Assistant - going out for coffee, picking up the dry cleaning, finding a new clipboard when Pat broke hers. I honestly don't believe she has forgotten anything, she just never learned anything beyond the words coaches use.

It is such a young team that it took a few months for Holly's coaching to really kick in. o_O:cool:

The interesting thing with Uconn is that not only have they won their first 101 AAC games, but they play two or three games against the ACC every year and their last lost to an ACC team was in 2007. They also play one or two games against the other P5 conferences each year: Their last loss to a...

Love or hate Geno or Pat, Uconn or TN I think the biggest point about the evolution of WCBB and women's basketball is not the skills or the coaching or the dynasties before Pat, during Pat's career or since Pat was forced to step down with her dreadful disease. What most people really mean is...

I got curious - also, there is an error in the coaching names. ASU was (and still is) coached by Charli Turner Thorne at the time of their victory.

It is interesting because of the questions that came up at the FF before the game about Gender in WCBB coaching ranks. (They seem to come up most years.) And it is interesting because the answer is 3 times in the last 18 years before Friday with the last time being 11 years ago. But it also...
