    Is Geno the GOAT of coaching Hall of Famers?

    I'm pretty sure it is unquestioned. Longevity, level of success and being a coach in the WNBA era all are factors that no other coach can put together. There are quite a few of the formative players of Women's Basketball in the hall, but they didn't all come from one team. A quick glance more...

    Annual look at WBB Coaches gender and length of service

    Each year I do a spreadsheet on the Power 4 and Big East Women's Basketball Coaches. It looks like there are 10 "new" Power 4 coaches, and none in the Big East. In terms of tenure at their current school, in the Power 4 Bill Fennely at Iowa State has been around the longest, since 1995 (well...

    How very sad.

    OT: Idioms

    The 2nd translates roughly as Everything has an end, only (or maybe "but") the sausage has two. What exactly it means is beyond me, but my extremely ancient limited German only takes me that far. The first one I can't get beyond I have the .....

    OT: Idioms

    "and Atom Bombs" was common when I was younger. Of course I grew up in "close" proximity to NYC.

    OT: womens volleyball

    I haven't started watching on TV although we sporadically do; since we watch a lot of college and pro football, volleyball takes a back-seat and then along comes WBB too. We do (always) watch the Semi's and Final, and sometimes the regional championships, but regular season is, as I say...

    OOC/Conference Schedule Released by Teams25-26

    It is much, much better than Arizona's.

    OOC/Conference Schedule Released by Teams25-26

    You're right, it is a challenge to assess the difficulty as it does depend on how Oregon is. I've seen some suggestions that Oregon should be good, but have seen some hints that Stanford should be back to something resembling "normal". If all goes well, Stanford could be the most challenging...

    OT: OT - Outdated Words That Were Once Popular

    I appreciate many of these "old" words, but I have to admit my first thought on reading the title was words from truly past eras that come up in old books. Egad, for example. I have been reading some mysteries dating to the 1920's, and there have been words I have had to look up and they come...

    OOC/Conference Schedule Released by Teams25-26

    Not exactly, it is a mix. You have various previously contracted return visits and such, which are more difficult to get out of, and of course you most likely know any destination tourneys and you have feelers out for some teams you are interested in. But I think there is still decent...

    OOC/Conference Schedule Released by Teams25-26

    I actually generally like Mulkey, but I'm not "awarding" her 2nd best coach. She is certainly among the best and the 2nd most successful. She has every right to schedule to prepare her team and what works for her works for her. It probably doesn't work for most other teams and it definitely...

    Paige makes Readers Digest

    Thank you. I saw the mention of on-line availability. I actually get the actual magazine, the only "paper" subscription I have. I do get a number of magazines due to donations - National Trust, US Lighthouse Society, Colonial Williamsburg (I stopped donating to Williamsburg, but they keep...

    Paige makes Readers Digest

    I recycled the mag before I thought of posting. The gist was that people appreciate the scoring and not the hard work that goes into it. I tried to find it on line, but I'm not that adept at it. Sorry.

    Paige makes Readers Digest

    I follow family tradition by reading "Readers Digest" and Paige Bueckers was quoted in the quotable quotes section with a reference to the hard work that folks don't tend to see. Reading the WNBA Q&A in today's Athletic, Maya Moore got a mention as the writer's favorite all time WNBA player...

    Executive Order for College Sports

    One has to also place all this against the back-drop of supposed changes as a result of the House settlement which actually already calls for NIL payments to meet fair market value standards. The direct funding from the colleges is in the form of (so called) revenue sharing, but it is capped...
