Actually it was just that no team can sustain 60% shooting all game; happens all the time - start hot then regress to the mean. Regardless, Stanford had chances to seal the win at the end and didn't, they let LSU hang around, game never should've gone to OT, Stanford failed to get the W in regulation when all the had to do was finish. Epic fail.BearTiger said:
Stanford went from 60% to 30% on 3-pointers due to LSU adjustments.
Is it just ex-coaches that we can't talk about? Or is every other WBB program and the national scene off limits too?joseywales said:

You use the word "definitely" as if it's just coming out. Honey, CKM has been nationally acknowledged as a perennially elite, Top 5 NCAA WBB coach coach for two decades. Ever since Baylor's first natty. Mack and Linda simply screwed the pooch on this potential historic coach legacy at Baylor. It's sad for all fans.

Okay. Go right ahead disrespect me and believe what you will. I know what exactly went down, and the truth does hurt. I know what happened because someone told me, and you can't simply handle that she left on her own. This is coming from somebody who knows Kim Mulkey and her two kids. Seriously get over it already. It's been almost 4 seasons ago now. It ain't no use crying over it like someone spilt your milk in a baby bottle. This applies to anyone else who is a Kim Mulkey lover and not a Baylor fan.

No, some will never let it go, regardless of anything. Just like some want to live in the past with our football program. Not moving on doesn't help anything for the future.Mitch Blood Green said:I suspect if NC starts winning some big games, we will talk about her less.joseywales said:

Spot on summationjoseywales said:
No way she is getting a statue, one of best coaches of all time, however there is more to the job than that. Monster ego, and the fact that literally a cheer went up in the athlectic department when she left should tell you all you need to know. Her behavior was so unacceptable her amazing coaching ability could not save her job. For a fact she was welcomed out the door. Too bad for us, she is one of the greatest bb coaches of all time.
This post deserves a 1,000 blue stars. If nothing else for this one sentence alone = "The character assassination just to make yourself feel good is wild."franke said:
I don't know why a lot of Baylor fans always feel the need to try to justify when a coach doesn't want to be at Baylor anymore. The character assassination just to make yourself feel good is wild. Does she have an ego? Absolutely, every great in every sport does. But she also gave her heart and soul to Waco and our school for a long time.
Friends on this board still want to talk about her successes elsewhere, that should be allowed. They clearly have had a different experience than what your cynical view is. You don't have to reply.
CNC has proven at this point that she will be incapable of building anywhere close to a perennial Top 5 ranked team......as CKM was capable of doing at little 'ol Baylor. I think that's what upsets most fans the most, that Baylor WBB will never again be what it was.Bear3 said:
Yes. It is going to take Nicki some time to get team back to final 4's. Following a generational coach is extremely difficult. Look at Tennessee program after Pat Summit, look at Stanford after Tara, look at Alabama after Saban. UConn is going to also fall in near future when Geno retires.
Nicki has not met the unrealistic expectations of some fans, but anyone who knows basketball will tell you she has done an excellent job with this program following Kim.
Additionally, with portal and NIL, you are not going to see a small number of teams winning conference titles and national championships year after year like Baylor and UConn did several years ago, regardless of coach is.
