Other than the obvious, idk who that is. My pick, for years now, has been Jeff Waltz, and it continues to be...I believe he'd win National Championships leading the Lady Vols. Yet, who knows if he'd leave now...that program, and ALL of it's success is credited to him, he IS that program, you know.

Although she has even less experience as a HC than Molly Miller, Lindy La Rocque has worked a miracle at UNLV, and she's pretty damn good, imo...at least everything I have read and researched about her; ive watched them play some, and they looked good in those brief moments. She's only 34 years old, played under VanDerveer at Stanford.

UNLV had not been to the tournament in 20 years whenever she took over as HC in 2020; and, had been awful to very meaty okra going back even longer...La Rocque led them to the tourney in her second season, and this year will be her 3rd tourney in 4 seasons; and, she's had them in the Top 25 the last three seasons, somewhere they had not been in decades. They, also, had not won a conference tourney since 1994, and she's won it back to back, and will be favored again this year. She's 96-21 overall there, and that's with going 15-9 in her first season.

She also was an assistant at Belmont for 2 seasons, so she's familiar with the state.

I'm not saying she's the one...just saying she's interesting, and has built a very good program in Vegas, from absolutely NOTHING. And, it's highly unlikely the hire would be a Staley or Mulkey, someone like that, if White does fire Kellie; so, we'd have to look at up and comers.

I do not wish to disrespect the post nor minimized the wisdom shared

But VN, a new term has officially been added to our rich lexicon: meaty okra

Alert the scribes!!!

Hmmm. So Randy, Donde, Danny and the BOT were locked and loaded well in advance. So maybe the old ways of stonewalling for years and years were just the old ways to defend from the NCAA's corrupt, arbitrary and capricious system. Kind of like winning with defense. Maybe the new ways that correspond with SCOTUS, court rulings and such should take precedence over the old ways? Go on offense? Put the opponent on defense and expose their weaknesses using the rules of the game itself?

Who da thunk that?

Well, actually, Josh Heupel might be a good example.

The NCAA has decided that they can:

- punish all levels of university employees/athletes/administrators;

- for violations of ex post facto guidelines;

- based on mere third-party allegations;

- with a presumption of guilt for the accused.

I know some people still think there’s a place for this organization to exist in the modern college sports environment, but this should tell you all you need to know. It’s a vile organization that’s become unfit for purpose.
