Mark Coyle should have lost his job for hiring Whalen, an individual with absolutely no idea how to coach a basketball (lead, communicate, defense/ offense schemes). Everyone knew Thibault was the recruiter and the coach behind the scenes. Plitzuweit has been able to lead this team to success...

The transfer portal has become free agency. Coaches used to recruit players by showing them how the university (getting a degree) and athletics would be a good fit for them. Now coaches with the most money just buy the players. I'm not sure if anyone cares about the academics. Where are all...

Clark and Bueckers are each making more money than all the WNBA rosters combined with all their endorsement deals. That's why all the other players are so jealous. They have all the money and fame. However, they will raise the salaries and increase opportunities for others in the WNBA. Without...

Geno Auriemma putting on a coaching clinic and making South Carolina and Dawn Staley look like they don't even belong in the national championship. SC players all resorting to one on one, looking foolish.

UCONN crushing South Carolina in the national championship. Shout out to Minnesota WBB GOAT Paige Bueckers!

Paige Bueckers. Big stage and getting it done. Go Huskies! Big East.

Wisconsin job is too big for Carly DuDonis. That Washington Mystics playbook she carries won't work in the BIG10.

Three things that prevent Minnesota sports from winning 1. Weather - recruits hate the frigid MN weather 2. Long history of losing at Minnesota - we never win in the sports that matter 3. Poor athletic directors that lead to poor coaching choices (MN natives)

True. I have personally dealt with him, and he is just that.

IMO .. those players would fit into D2 or D3 programs. Coach P will hit the portal hard after this season. Coach P is solid. Need to upgrade the talent. Lots here were saying we were going to win the Natty with that freshman four group a few years back. Not so.

The BIG10 is the third competitive conference in the country. The SEC in far and away the most athletic and competitive conference. 1. SEC 2. ACC 3. BIG10 4. BIG12 5 BIG EAST

Stollings good, Whalen real bad, Plitzuweit great. Plitzuweit has this team playing defense and that keeps them in the games. This team just doesn't have a pure go-to scorer.

Iowa Hawkeyes barely leading against 0-7 Northwestern at half 41-38. Ex-Gopher coach Shimmy Miller is one of the commentators for the game. She must have gotten that job from her married partner Lisa Byington, who is a play-by-play announcer for the Milwaukee Bucks. Majority of people would say...

Good grief, these are two of the most undeserving hires. Didn't Mike Thibault and his dad just get fired from the Mystics for a losing season? and Whalen was awful as a "coach" at the UofM. No more recruits would visit. Thank goodness their friend Cheryl Reeve found room in the Lynx payroll for...

Agreed. Whalen was completely unqualified to coach. Fundraiser hire. Dawn Plitzuweit was a great hire and will have this team competing 1-2 years. Just listen to how well she articulates the game and understands what it takes to win. The barn will be full soon.
