WBB: General All-NCAA Thread - Not Team Cyclones Stuff


That was unfortunate. She is a legend in Minny and I think she was responsible for the popularity and growth of WBB in Minnesota.
Her hire was similar to Hoiberg's hire that could be "high risk / high reward" hire and the program was in turmoil after Marlene Stollings bolted to Tech. She had a lot of goodwill but she had tons of problems including players transferring (one of them was Sara Scalia, their leading scorer, who is at Indiana now).
 


Wow. I thought she'd get one more year after a pretty good recruiting class of freshman this year but they totally augered in to where I wasn't even following along anymore.

Wondering if she took one for the U here or was actually going to be fired?

Going to need a killer hire to hang on to those freshman. The right coach keeping the kids and adding a couple transfers could have an immediate impact.

It seems that she was ushered out. The presser was weird because it was expected that she would be there but didn’t show up.
Coyle repeatedly said it was a mutual decision but I doubt it.
My hunch is Whalen probably wanted another year.
