That's not completely true. In 2009, the team decided that since the goal is to win a national championship, that's when nets should be cut down. The players always get a choice.

Now, whether they feel pressured to do it because it has become a tradition versus whether they really believe in the tradition is an answer we will probably never know...

He's a control freak who is denying his hardworking players opportunities to celebrate well-earned milestones. It's ridiculous for someone who is paid MILLIONS of dollars on the backs of these young women to deny them these simple joys. A-hole move. Borderline abusive, even, in his selfish hoarding of all THEIR trophies and nets in his personal office, in stark contrast to how Pat Summitt was always careful to give all the credit and glory to the players who actually played in those games and won those trophies and earned their little cherished pieces of net they climbed those ladders to cut.

But not Auriemma! But while he's denying his players the joy of cutting down conference championship nets, I'm sure he's more than happy to take bonus checks for his players winning those conference championships, etc. He's an insufferable jerk.

Hate on the guy all you want but it is part of the mind set at the school. There is only one goal, enjoy the lesser things but there is one goal.

Godfrey even enrolled early. I saw a bit of their game the other day, and she was awful. Don't know if you watched, but I was surprised at how much Anastasia played in a team structure. She took shots within the flow of the offense and most everything ran through Rickea while she was on the court. I think that Anastasia and JerKaila took about the same amount of shot attempts. I think Godfrey and Shavers leaving is more because they see that there are better players in front of them and it's unlikely they will see the court much this year.

I’m sure they are leaving because they aren’t getting minutes but I also suspect they have a big ol culture problem brewing.

Shoes don’t stretch and people don’t change. Anywhere those sisters go drama and strife is sure to follow. It’s always someone else’s fault and her parents have no qualms about dragging former coaches/teammates on social media. I just find it gross.

Wouldn’t be shocked to see some of their better players in there as well depending on how the first third of their season goes. If they lose several games early here I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Jackson and others consider a transfer.

If they left over playing time was a little quick JMO since they are freshman. Sure they have upperclassmen playing in front of them not many places that is not going to be true. Playing time as a freshman can be minimal almost everywhere as a lot of freshmen are finding out this year.

That’s why I don’t believe that’s the primary reason. Freshman generally come with the understanding that their minutes will be limited. Or stick with it and try to earn more. Jumping ship is due mostly to unhappiness. The fact that it’s guards leaving has me thinking they’re already tired of the show.

The goal is to win a national championship. That is why they just hired former UCLA and NFL head coach Jim Mora.
I really don't know why a SCAR fan would be harping about football. I think this is the headline from the last time we played SCAR in football. I remember Scar finally scored late in the fourth quarter against the UConn 3rd string defense.
