CNC's contract runs through 2030 and she makes $1.2M a year. I am not sure we can financially do anything with her for a couple of more seasons. I appreciate her being willing to follow a HOF coach. But this program does not have much momentum. I am really worried where the program will be when we can finally make a change.

Where did you get the information that Nicki makes $1.2 Mil ?

I have never heard her exact salary.

Her compensation is reported in Baylor's Form 990. That is public information. The most recent one I could find online is for the year ended May 31, 2024. Part VII (Page 8) lists Nicki's "Reportable compensation from the organization (W2)" as $1,185,132 and her "Estimated amount of her compensation from the organization and related organizations" as $92,224. Hopefully this link works. But of not, I went to ProPublica's website.

Baylor University - Full Filing - Nonprofit Explorer - ProPublica

That same website shows the information from the previous year as well. The comparable numbers are $1,123,384 and $57,861, respectively.

The problem with total reported income is that it doesn't distinguish between guaranteed base salary and non guaranteed bonus amounts.

Would hazard a guess that 1/3 of that total comes from bonuses, camp revenue, etc. which are typically not guaranteed. Baylor is likely on the hook for about $800,000ish if she is terminated without cause. Still a large chunk for a cash starved athletic department. Time to put more needles into your Mack Rhoades voodoo doll.

I can only hope this Tech game was a huge wake up call for both the coaches and players. We shall see how both respond . We still have 3 games and the tournament.
As someone said, the tournament is what matters. Things must change if we have any hope of getting past first weekend…..

The main problem I see, and its been here since KM left town, is our teams do not appear fundamentally sound, particularly on offense. We have talent, but make the same mistakes over and over. We are sloppy with our passing, we can't consistently make lay-ups (esp thru contact), we can't inbounds the ball well, etc. Also, I can't explain why some of our players seem to regress instead of progress in their skills. Something is off in the coaching.

We remain really competitive but can't seem to get over the hump. As frustrating as the loss was last night, I'm not sure we immediately need a head coaching change, but as we have an experienced and talented team this year and we can't win a weakened B12....its alarming.

Chicken or Egg situation.

If CNC wants to run a ball screen dominant offense, she must have players who can consistently win the dribble to create.

If CNC wants this year's type players, can't run a ball screen dominant offense.

It is either a roster construction failure or a talent recognition/schematic design failure.

One related item…..any offense at any level regardless of gender will fail when the ball goes 4-5 minutes routinely without touching the paint.

Bad shot selection.
Constantly picking up the dribble in bad locations. Zero awareness to help stranded teammates who poorly pick up their dribble.

With each game it becomes more apparent that Jada Walker's quickness was masking a ton of structural flaws.

By far the most frustrating things this year is lack of ball rotation, lack of post touches, and the fact that when anyone on the permitter has 3 inches of space, they feel they are open enough to shoot a three. If you are going to encourage players to shoot like that, you best have players who are making them at a high clip. If they miss, it's the equiilant of a turnover. Just straight up baffling. Watching the Ole Miss v LSU game right now. Both of those teams have players who appear to want to win. They are hungry, quick, and intense, especially on the defensive end. Starting to think that CNC has survived her career by inheriting talent and letting them just go out and play. The state of the program is becoming more dire with each passing week. Amazing how far the advancement made during the Mulkey era have evaporated. I didn't watch back then, but are we nearing the Hogg quality of teams?

Yes. The team does practice with male team. There have been pictures of this posted. Male practice team also travels with team on extended road trips.
