My way back brain machine is broke but didn’t she have some highly ranked recruiting classes in the early years? A McDonald’s all American and so forth?My issue is that she did not inherit a bad program like Trent Johnson or Jamie Dixon did - Mittie's last season he was able to win 8 Big 12 games and was a close Big 12 tourney loss to West Virginia from going to the NCAA tournament.
The program has not been elevated from Mittie and its been 8 years. I think the problem is that she brought in a very gimmicky style that worked in the WAC with Fresno State but doesn't work against better competition and attempts to try other things have not worked.
yes and they transferred.My way back brain machine is broke but didn’t she have some highly ranked recruiting classes in the early years? A McDonald’s all American and so forth?

It was very similar to Nolan Richardson's 40 minutes of hell. Non stop full court press, try to force turnovers, not a lot of halfcourt defense. It was very boom or bust. I haven't watched much of our WBB team the last few years so I don't know if that is still the approach.I'm curious, what to you is gimmicky about it?
They haven't played that way for a while. I think that was out of what she perceived as necessity, due to lack of size.It was very similar to Nolan Richardson's 40 minutes of hell.

This is a super old post, but given the context of this season, she's gone - right?
This is gross. Be better.I do like looking at her on the sidelines...
Like looking at Fran “better?”. I guess I’m gross like Jug.This is gross. Be better.
