    MSR: Whalen Steps Down: Comments from Coyle, Gray-Miller and Coquese Washington

    Natalie Nakase is another coach who I think is interesting. She is Assistant Coach for Las Vegas Aces and formerly LA Clippers Assistant Coach.

    MSR: Whalen Steps Down: Comments from Coyle, Gray-Miller and Coquese Washington

    Jamelle Elliot, Assistant Coach at Connecticut. The counter argument would be that she was 113–162 as a head coach at Cincinnati. Some proven names being mentioned in other threads -- people winning coach of the year awards for example -- sound compelling to me. I don't know if Minnesota has...

    BREAKING: Mark Coyle and Lindsay Whalen announced today that Whalen will step down as head coach, effective immediately.

    I was responding to criticisms of Coyle with a warning of what ongoing arguing may look like across social media. Arguing is a two way street. I'm saying to put the brake on that arguing. If people want to continue arguing then it just continues these arguments already in motion. Do get one's...

    This is a later interview when she returned to Minnesota. “I think a few things went into it, especially as far as Minnesota,” Scalia said last week. “We had a lot of players either graduating or transferring; that was a big factor.”...

    This program badly needs a culture change. Sara Scalia said one of the two reason she left was because of the culture. How many players left last season? The other is she wanted to be with a winning program...

    Minnesota has the two best forwards in hockey in Taylor Heise and Grace Zumwinkle. Minnesota has the #1 offense in NCAA women's hockey. Minnesota is loaded with many elite players, mentioned in previous posts. It's Minnesota, a super power of hockey. For Ohio State, here are a few players to...

    Thank you Lindsay

    The outpouring of love for her in this wake shows the intangible leadership and character that made her one of the greatest ever. As a player, pundits debate who was the greatest. Sue Bird, Diana Taurasi, or Lindsay Whalen (and that entire Lynx team is considered). Whalen's greatness is harder...

    Likewise, SDS's Johnston is being mentioned only because the name excited a lot of people. He is well known and currently getting the most buzz on Twitter. There is nearly zero viability for Johnston and in my mind not even a candidate. It is just press release image projection. The person I...
