That's a recipe for disaster. She has nowhere near enough experience to coach at the top level, nor does Candace. She could get there eventually, but she's a long way from that.

I wanted to see Pat coach the Men’s team in the late 90s when we were so bad

Pruitt is a cherrypicked example. Plenty have looked at first time HCs (assistants) at big jobs vs hires with prior HC experience and there seems no difference. Dabo, Riley, Day, Smart are running 4 of the top 5 programs at the moment. Not meant to be a definitive sample, but a general example. The larger research supports it though, every HC has to become one at some point and it seems the greats have innate abilities regardless. Prior experience only helps them the first couple of years.

There are substantially more first time HC at big programs who failed miserably than there are ones who succeeded. And everyone you mentioned took over a moderately to extremely successful program on top of it. You're just using bad statistics and data practices to verify your opinion. This is multivariate and you're using uni or bivariate at best.

Starting at a small program with a small spotlight is the best way to learn to be a HC. Especially if you have all the extra challenges and spotlight a first time ever woman NBA HC would have. Her life would go from 90% X/O basketball to 90% NOT X/O basketball, and that takes getting used to, and learning to juggle all the extra NBA HC responsibilities while in one of the biggest spotlights with the biggest pressure is a recipe for disaster.

Housing, education and healthcare is affordable in Japan and they have freedom of speech as well.



Honestly a good point, definitely one I can't argue.


You are focusing way too much on post secondary graduation, there's so much more that we can do to round out and improve education before college, and so much more that we need to do for teachers and students at the K-12 stage. With more programs like the Promise and Reconnect scholarships, I think you'd solve a lot of issues with post secondary graduation. But K-12 needs a massive rethink. There is so much missing out of the curriculum that would help HS graduates learn how to cope in today's world. Math is so integral to daily life but, at least when I was in school, none of the math was relevant to how I do math in my daily life. I'm good at it, and thankfully I had a banker as a parent, which helps, but it only helps so much.

I agree that public K-12 education needs a complete redo. But probably not in the way you’re thinking. I don’t think you’ve spent much time in a typical high school lately. They are full of the things you’re talking about, programs for students, training for teachers, skills classes to help students.

But that’s just a sugar coating because the mindset hasn’t changed. At least in my teaching experience, schools are trying to be all things to all people. That includes those who want to do nothing but cause problems for everyone.

His movie (Eighth Grade) was pretty dang good too. As long as you can get past all the kids saying "Gucci" a hundred times.
