3/27/03...SCOOP & OPINION

Just Our Not So Humble Opinion.....Oh how some of the BIG TIME Head Coaches ... i.e. .... Texas Tech's Marsha Sharp, LSU's Sue Gunter, Mississippi State's Sharon Fanning, Duke's Gail Goestenkors ... Seem so to enjoy playing  the VICTIM CARD in regards  to the NCAA's selection of Knoxville, Albuquerque, Dayton, and Stanford as Regional Tournament Hosts...Strange - these same previously mentioned Head Coaches didn't seem to mind when their campuses were selected as hosts in the past..... Hey Sharp, Gunter, Fanning, and Goestenkors - WHAT'S GOOD FOR THE GOOSE IS GOOD FOR THE GANDER!!!....... Coaches Sharp, Gunter, Fanning, and Goestenkors..etc....How about spreading the wealth.....You must realize that Knoxville and Albuquerque are among the most exciting venues in all of women's college basketball...TOO...Coach Sharp, your home venue was absolutely selected as a pre-Sweet 16 Host because of Lubbock's support of your program = (Attendance)!!!...Yet, as you and the Red Raiders move on to Albuquerque, you were quoted as saying.. "The University of New Mexico Has An Unfair Advantage When We Play There This Saturday Night....The NCAA Should In The Future Schedule Tournament Games On Neutral Courts"....Ohh - Coach Sharp - you have become a hypocrite of convenience....Your program has gained NCAA Tournament home court advantage many times in the past!!! ... Don't begrudge other programs that same occasional opportunity!.......Also, Head Coaches - if your team should lose......... DON'T BLAME YOU AND YOUR TEAM'S  FAILURE ON THE VENUE YOU WERE SELECTED TO PLAY IN!!!...

SHAME ON YOU WOMEN'S BASKETBALL COACHES ASSOCIATION!!!!..Why didn't the WBCA mail out American Flags???

University of Tennessee Assistant Micki DeMoss seems to be a front runner for the University of Kentucky job....It is our humble opinion that there are many better choices out there!!!....Come on A.D. Barnhart....

Seems that New Mexico State University A.D. Brian Faison is intent on replacing deposed former Head Women's Coach Nikita Lowry with interim Head Coach, Elmer Chavez    ......That's just dandy....A.D. Faison is going to hire a guy (Chavez) who was a life-long boy's high school coach before going to Las Cruces to join the men's program several years ago as the lowest assistant on the men's staff at NMSU......This just shows why the NMSU women's Bball program is so inept.....This is a program that is consistently ranked at the bottom of women's college basketball attendance ... while NMSU is located less than 3 hours away from The University of New Mexico - a program that consistently draws more than 11,000 fans per game - and is ranked #4 in the nation in average attendance...Until university decision makers install much better leadership in A.D. positions than Mr. Faison of New Mexico State Univ....(Who ridiculously promoted the now deposed Coach Lowry off the staff he-himself fired 2 years ago at New Mexico State University)..... women's college basketball programs will continue to get the same old results!!!...Mr. Faison of NMSU - you are blowing it!!! ...Show some chutzpah A.D. Faison....Do your job and start a national search for a person who deserves to be a major college  Head Women's Head Basketball Coach...Don't take the lazy route Mr. Faison.....

Names circulating for The University of Kentucky Head Women's job.... Include University of  Colorado Head Coach              Ceal Barry....(an ex-UK player - who would figure to command top dollar).....Plus, Pat Summitt's long-time University of Tennessee Assistant Micki DeMoss....(who perhaps would need to explain her record -- 45-67 -- in four years as a Head Coach at                   The University Florida in the early 1980s).

Sacramento State University fired Head Coach , Carolyn Jenkins yesterday....Sac State has to be one of the worst Coaching opportunities in the nation!!!....Horrible facilities...(Their Gym would qualify as a sub-par H.S. gym).., poor pay ($65,000 per year for HC).....They should probably just drop the whole shooting match!!!!

3/5/03...SCOOP & OPINION
What's up at The University of Louisville?...Head Coach, Martin Clapp missed Sunday's 87-72 loss at Memphis and won't accompany the Cardinals the rest of the season. Assistant Steve Huber will coach the Cards (14-13, 5-8) in their Conference USA Tournament opener against Saint Louis tomorrow afternoon at The Pyramid in Memphis....If you have any reliable scoop as to who will replace Coach Clapp...email us at  wbb@womenshoopscoop.com ....We believe the next Head Coach at Univ. of Louisville will be former Colorado State H.C. Tom Collen...He has close ties to Louisville A.D. Tom Jurich, and spent a week in Louisville immediately after his Vanderbilt Univ./Resume debacle last year........Stay Tuned!!!

Time is up at The University of Kentucky!!!.. Finally!!!...And it surely is about time!!! Head Coach, Bernadette Mattox's career coaching record at The Univ. of Kentucky....1995-96 8-19,  1996-97 8-19, 1997-98 13-15, 1998-99 21-11, 1999-00 15-14, 2000-01 6-21,  2001-02 9-20, 2002-03 11-15...Total = 91-134, 28-79
1.) Going into this week's SEC Tournament, Coach Mattox has an overall record of 91-134. 
2.) Over the last three years, Kentucky has won a dismal 31.7 percent of its games (26-56).
3.) Of its last 42 regular-season Southeastern Conference games, UK has lost 35.
4.) With Mattox's coaching contract set to expire after this season, three things seem clear.. 
a.) There appears to be no reason UK Athletics Director Mitch Barnhart should extend that contract.
b.) With tremendous resources, Mattox has made Kentucky women's hoops the worst basketball program, men's or women's in the SEC!!
c.) The pressure is on A.D. Barnhart to show he truly is a break from Kentucky's past by demonstrating a legitimate commitment to fielding good women's basketball teams....The Univ. of Kentucky can be a phenomenal women's basketball powerhouse!!!...HIRE THE RIGHT PERSON BARNHART!!!    Let us know...who are the top candidates top become Head Coach of this potentially TOP 10 PROGRAM??.. email wbb@womenshoopscoop.com asap...We want your opinion!!!

Latest from University of Wisconsin...Kevin Boseth, Head Coach at Univ. of Wisconsin-Green Bay is front runner for UofW H.C. opening...With Univ. of Arizona's Denise Dove Ianello becoming his Top Assistant...Fairly reliable source...

They're circling the drain at Wake Forest.....Seems like this would be a tough place in which to win!  Email wbb@womenshoopscoop.com with any reliable scoop about this potential opening...

University of Mississippi is in trouble...As we have reported in the past....No secret here...Let us know who you hear as possible H.C. candidates here!

 

 

3/4/03...SCOOP & OPINION

Hot name on the streets ... Carey Green, Head Coach at Liberty University....Green has done a fine job at Liberty...Also known as a fine person on & off the court!...Look for bigger schools to come calling on Coach Green...If they're not already doing so!

We're hearing the beginnings of some grumbling from Florida State...After a good start, the Seminoles have fizzled out to end the year (again)...At least one of the major schools in Florida...Univ. of Florida, FSU, Miami should be a consistent Top 25er...Too much talent down there to be such underachievers!

Are the wagons circling at Texas A&M???....That's the word on the street....Our opinion is that this should be a yearly Top 25 program...Plenty of resources in College Station!!

Is Univ. of Louisville in trouble?...Word on the street is that H.C. Martin Clapp is on the bubble.... Athletic Director, Tom Jurich has a history with Tom Collen (Colorado State)....Is Coach Collen the next H.C. at Louisville...?...Would be a good fit ... Collen is originally from that neck of the woods...Stay Tuned!

3/2/03...SCOOP & OPINION

What's up at Savannah State?...The University suspended Women's Head Basketball Coach Robert Eskew and sophomore guard Renee Williams last week. Seems Coach Eskew and Player Williams were involved in a scuffle during the Tigers' Jan. 16 loss to Southern University in Baton Rouge, La.. Apparently Williams took her jersey off and threw it at Coach Eskew after being removed from the game for fighting with a Southern player...This lead to fisticuffs between Eskew and Williams....That's got to be embarrassing!!!

Latest rumor...Denise Dove Ianello, Assistant Coach, University of Arizona to University of Wisconsin as Head Coach...In package deal  with her husband Ron Ianello who is Univ. of  Arizona's football RC and WRs coach - He may be offered Univ. of Wisconsin  TE football coaching position.....Rob Ianello is a former member of the Badger's football staff...wants to return there.......... stay tuned!
