We were a very close 2nd to Lehigh in the preseason poll, and now we're the 4th best team in the league. No question that we can play better and right the ship starting tmro against a team ranked '296'. Will be concerned if we don't win convincingly - Coach AM has to be feeling a bit of pressure if she wants to make a case for the 'interim' label to be dropped.

It is interesting. ADMB has conducted one coaching search and he went full throttle, full price by hiring an outside firm to conduct a Nationwide search.
But factors such as continuity, loyalty to long term employees, cost containment and possible hometown discount on the coaching salary were not relevant because there was a vacancy, MBB is the school's signature sport and the existing salary was already pricey. He should have even been able to pay BN less than Carm.
Now he has the budget for the whole department to consider and an existing WBB staff and the best returning WBB player already has changed schools once after a coaching change.
Inertia may be a powerful force in this situation if the team can play to it's potential. A Nationwide search for a fresh face offers no guarantee of improved results but it does guarantee increased costs and another disruption to the makeup of the program.
If the team finishes poorly, however, a change is probably inevitable.

LS, when you’re giving out 14 full schollies I don’t think the reason to hire a coach or not is financial - I think we can agree that likely all women’s coaching contracts expire soon after the season ends - let’s see how it plays out Tmro is a kids game with an 11am start
