Yep, she's the new head coach. Hope they got a two for one and her husband joins the team also.

If this hire was prefaced on her keeping Messer and Brock then I guess it's okay, if not seems like a poor hire.

Is this a good hire? I'm not overly impressed with her record.

If she runs the 4 pt play we'll be fine.

Under whelming actually. As far as I can see her only head coaching g is the pros and it is a losing record over 3 years.

I I would think the coaching experience in the WNBA would be a plus when recruiting.

Seems like a 5th choice hire from how search played out

I'm waiting on a "Messier and Brock" will be part of the staff message.

Might be time for a new AD, this hire didn't redeem the mess.

She met her husband (22 years her senior) when he hired her as his assistant at CSU. She was 26 and he was 48.

The only head coaching experience is the WNBA and has a losing record? Unbelievable!

Really disappointed, I have to say.

I guess Mack could only find someone willing to work form him more than for crazy former Senator Loeffler.

I would like to know what the players think. I have no idea who is a good hire until the next UT game and then I'll have some thoughts.

Dude..are you serious?!..a new AD?!...this is why we brought up all your old posts from Rhules first season..im definitely bookmarking this.

Oh wait..your defense will be 'she shoulda win..look at what Mulkey left her'....absolutely amazing..

Listen I don't give a Shxt what you do Stefano. She has a winning percentage of .422 as a HC. Spin this all you want.

Yeah, the two new America hating communist senators from Georgia are so much more sensible.

You literally posted it might be time for a new AD...let that sink in..

I dont claim to be an expert on everything..like WNBA..so you or i dont have any idea of the situation she took.over but i know she was Coach of Year couple.years ago.

Matt Rhule has an underwhelming career record but most people can put the picture in the frame and see he is a very very good coach from the trash programs he took over.

Yeah I literally posted that. This handling of women's hoops situation has been a debacle. Let that sink in.

Collen had a great record Year 1 when she had players. Years 2 & 3 all [every single one] of the Dream's top players sat out due to their fight with Loeffler over BLM and gay marriage.

So the "losing record" argument has a rather sizable asterisk.

I'm going to stop you whom ever you are. Don't be disrespectful if our young ladies like it I love it. They could be jumping ship. Go back to the Football boards.

This would be the only thing that would make me feel better about this hire - WNBA coaches much less likely to bring staff with them as compared to our college coach targets, especially since season starts in a week!

AD's aren't getting hired or fired for women's basketball.

They're kids. They don't know. I doubt seriously if 3 days ago they had ever heard of Nicki Collen. I have been following women's college basketball since before these kids were born and I know I hadn't. I hope Collen does well. But I think Vic is likely licking his chops on this one. Face it...this hire was an uphill climb from the jump. There was no equal within 10,000 country miles of who Mack was trying to replace. Was not going to happen. Just hope for the best. That's all we can do. Everything else is just fluff.

Go somewhere else with that. You don't even deserve to have an account here with that type of disrespect.

I'm willing to sit back and watch to see how she turns out. What other choice do I have. But I would suspect the other coaches in the Big 12 just breathed a sigh of relief.
