The Official “Regular Posters of the Basketball Forum” Thread

Just a tiny dig at the LV discussion. I begged people not to take issue with it...even put a smiley on it which I abhor. Can't we just all not take things too seriously?

Ah well.

An extremely out of place dig, at that. Especially considering the context. I was honestly hoping for a battle of wits but I see you’re unarmed. Have a great day and go Vols!
 
Even though I don’t follow the Lady Vols I still enjoy soaking a natty or two every once in awhile and I’ll take what I can get.
Who would be your top pick as Holly’s replacement?

I don’t follow the Lady Vols but my choices would be Kara Lawson or Tyler Summit.
There are 5 coaches that i would have on my list...

Matthew mitchell
Kara lawson
Stephanie norman
Jeff walz
Carly dudonis

I'll also give a bonus for someone who id like to see, but is highly unlikely, and that's candace parker

Look at Dallas bringing the knowledge. I have no idea who 3 of those are and am not sure about Mitchell. Did he coach at Kentucky or is Kara the only one of the 5 that I have any familiarity with?

I guess I should start paying attention since Holly's time is running out. Geno, Muffet, Kim, the lady at Stanford... none of them are coming here. I see no need to spend millions. Just get a youngish, solid, smart, sharp, disciplinarian type in here and see what happens. Realistically an adequate coach could be found for under $250k. It's women's freaking basketball. They wear out the underside of rims.

Ill post the accomplishments
 
Stephanie norman-Norman is undisputedly one of the best recruiters in the country and Louisville owes much of it’s success to her. Heading into her 12th season on the Cardinals bench, Norman is already high on many short lists and could leave whenever she wants to. She was rumored to be in the mix for the Oregon job in 2014- she is an Oregon native- and all she has done since then is improve her profile. She wants to win a national championship so she won’t leave for just anything, but it’s hard to believe Norman won’t get a good opportunity as soon as next offseason.

carly dudonis-Being the daughter of the winningest coach in WNBA history certainly brought lofty expectations from day one, but Thibault has built her reputation all by herself. After successful stints at Eastern Michigan and Florida State, the 27-year-old helped Mississippi State make it to back-to-back national championship appearances while also signing the #11 class in the country. Now joining Lindsay Whalen- a former draft pick of her father- Thibault can set herself up with a lot of options if she can assist in taking the Gophers back to national relevance. And while her recruiting reputation is deserved, her Xs and Os knowledge has caught the attention of many as well.

Kara lawson-
Kara Marie Lawson (born February 14, 1981) is a former American professional women's basketball player in the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) and a basketball television analyst for ESPN and the Washington Wizards.[Lawson primarily played as a shooting guard. She won a gold medal at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China. Lawson retired from the WNBA in 2015 to focus on her broadcasting career. Former lady vol.

Jeff walz-Lightning speed. That's the only rate at which Jeff Walz operates. It's also the pace at which University of Louisville women's basketball burst into the national spotlight under his tutelage as one of the most competitive and successful programs.went to the final four last year.

Matthew
Mitchell- became the head coach of UK on April 23, 2007, succeeding former UK coach Mickie DeMoss.[2] Prior to becoming the coach at Kentucky, Mitchell spent two years as the head coach at Morehead State.[2] Mitchell started his coaching career as graduate assistant under Pat Summitt at Tennessee, and he also spent time as an assistant coach at Florida and Kentucky before becoming a head coach.[2]

Following the 2009–10 season, Mitchell was named the SEC Coach of the Year.[3] In addition to Mitchell's recognition, Victoria Dunlap was named the SEC Player of the Year and A'dia Mathies was named the SEC Freshman of the Year. The Wildcats joined the unbeaten national champion 1998 Tennessee squad as the only teams in SEC women's basketball history to sweep the major post-season awards.[3]

Mitchell's success on the court has already moved him up to No. 4 in all-time wins at Kentucky with 86. His winning percentage of 63.7 percent (86–49) ranks third.
