You are completely clueless. But if that is what you want, I guess that is your wish.Yogi said:
Nicki is going to have this program back where it was when I went to Baylor: 100 people in the crowd and utterly irrelevant.
But Tech seems to have done the same with their program.

No, they didn't want to win. Laying it all out on the floor. Pressing like crazy. Battling under the boards against the elephant inside. But no, they didn't want to win. B.S.HuttoBear said:
Crouch crouch and more crouch. This team just not want to win
We didn't rebuild it. We have kept it afloat to buy time, the time it takes every team who loses a HOF coach to get back where they were. Go look at the record of those teams.whitetrash said:
Missed out last 9 shots after a 6 point lead with 3:34 to go. IowaSt closed on a 12-1 run.
But Richard Justice can tell us again how successfully we have rebuilt the program.

She's taken us from elite to very average,,,
OK. It is easy to throw arrows. What would you do? You need to match your enthusiasm to throw arrows to telling us specifically names and actions to take.Gametime said:
Again who coaches and recruited every single player outside Sarah?

We had the shots. We had missed bunnies. We had open shots from senior players (2's and 3's). But somehow that is the coach's fault for the misses. Have you ever coached? I have. You put them in position, which we were, but at some point players have to make plays. Sometimes they don't. Even the great Clark missed her first 11 3's yesterday. It happens.

One thing that mulkey-ers seem to forget. During our 14 year reign, every team was deplorable. Women's basketball has changed in the last 10 years, heck. Even 5 years. No team, men's or women's, will have a run like Kansas for the men or Baylor for the women. They just won't. Too much young coach talent to disperse the players. It used to only be Tennessee, Baylor, Stanford, ND and uconn. Now, you got NC State, VT, Oregon state, South Carolina, et al. Should we be in the conversation every year, yes. But these anti-colleners are just blinded and clueless to the changing game. Was this ISU game frustrating? Yes. Does she need to be fired over this? No. We lack post players, which is a huge part of the game. Collen is a great coach and better fit than mulkey was in her later years. Either you support the bears or you don't. I choose the Bears! Let's go, coach Collen!

Sadly, the result today was not surprising. Baylor could have pulled away from Iowa State at 4 different points in the game today. But alas they didn't and ultimately lost in a common style. Don't be confused or get distracted by those who want to make weak, uneducated excuses about extraneous things. Coaching lost this game. It's been the common denominator to average team performance all year.
Sorority sister ball simply won't win at the highest levels.

I think CNC can get it done. I just don't understand her roster decisions/structure and then not game-planning to its strengths.
So you think she is too stupid to figure this out? Please. What you want and what you can get are miles apart in practice.Gametime said:blackie said:OK. It is easy to throw arrows. What would you do?

Yes I have coached 30 years in women's and girls hoops. Of course not at CNCs level.
But, if anybody thinks CNC is doing a good job have extremely low expectations.
Recruit shooters. Recruit bigs. Recruit defenders. Recruit long. What's her direction? Pick a diction or have a style that matches. 5/6 in the Big 12 is what she's delivering.
hey, heres a novel idea, maybe she recruits the wrong players...shes recruited the "gang that can't shoot straight"blackie said:OK. It is easy to throw arrows. What would you do? You need to match your enthusiasm to throw arrows to telling us specifically names and actions to take.Gametime said:

The lack of size in the middle affects everything on both ends of the floor. We do have the 6'4" and 6'7" in the wings for next year, but Lety needs development. She showed a few good signs of late, but has not been ready, likely because of her propensity to foul. Since Kyla redshirted we don't know how she is doing. I suspect CNC would be the first to say that an experienced big would be the first priority this off-season, most likely from the portal. But you can only get from what is available.Scottdye said:
I love BU women's BB. However for us to become dominant again we must get some size, and have someone that is a deadly shooter at the mid range level. If you go and look at our last championship we had all of it. Post size and good mid range.
Let's see what happens in the Tournament.
