I'm in with you. Assistants disembarking the CNC train for some reason.BearTiger said:
You have every right to your opinion, and I respect it. But you can't downplay my concerns. I'm only talking about WBB, not FB. Every person in our families is asking what in the world is going on. Suspicions and red flags went up when 4 assistants left in the same season. As I said before, this rarely happens when a head coach is still there. Our families have supported our WBB and donated to WBB every year for 30 years since 1990s. Our families donated a lot of $$ into the program for 30 years so we are deeply invested in it. We have every right to be concerned when something like this happens. Even contributors like our families are kept in dark with no explanation whatsoever. We trust Coach N, but this definitely raises concerns.
Nina Davis coaching any player on shooting technique is a terrifying concept.BUatbirth said:

Nina is one of my all-time favorite BU WBB players, but you are absolutely correct on that. I'd want to keep her on the recruiting trail (where she'd be incredible) and off the court for that reason.Adriacus Peratuun said:Nina Davis coaching any player on shooting technique is a terrifying concept.BUatbirth said:

But, yeah, I find these 4 sudden departures concerning. I don't have the first clue what is going on, or who is at fault, or if anyone is at fault. But it's hard not to see this and think something behind the scenes isn't right.

Appreciate their service! Change can be a chance to bring in a new team and step up expectations. May be a blessing to all involved.

If Tech can win the WCWS with their $1M pitcher, they may go that way in BB as well and it will quickly turn around. Unfortunately now it seems the pocket book can trump (with a lower case "t") whoever you have as a coach. It certainly has an impact on recruiting.LIB,MR BEARS said:fredbear said:

It can be. Or, it can go the way of Texas Tech WBB

Wonder if trying to buy a national championship in softball was part of his efforts? Hate to root for UT, but I am certainly glad UT beat Tech for the championship yesterday. Softball is likely the easiest and cheapest sport to buy a championship. You only need a pitcher that no one can hit and a couple of hitters. The rest can be average and you can still go far.Dcheetah said:

It showed yesterday though what happens when you rely on that pitcher too much and when she gives out you got nothing. Guess they'll go out and buy another $1M pitcher to go along with the one they have for next year. Some school that does that, especially when they have been an also ran at a national level for their entire history really puts an asterisk on any championship they get, or at least it should. It is sad that college sports have come to this state. I guess since they have seen what they can do in softball, is WBB next?
I feel for our coaches in women's sports, especially in WBB because the expectations, dare I say demands, of some fans to roll along as if we were still in the 20-teens, need to be measured against what resources our side has to compete against such teams as a Tech in softball that seemingly has unlimited funds to go buy players at the highest level. I don't care what talents you may have at coaching, if you don't have the dollars to at least be in the ball park, you are not going to get the roster your coaching talents and school history would otherwise indicate were paying players still illegal.
If NIL and free agency continues unchecked in any manner, college athletics will be dead to many of its fans.
