Maybe it seems to lean heavily on pro, but if you read the text voters were told to consider only college. The problem was stated by Lobo - that there were more great players than slots. That's what makes it difficult. The text of the article also indicates that criteria - other than college...

It is probably not practical for a first year coach in rebuild to "pull a rabbit out of a hat" - but some success is likely. Beyond the cupcake non-conference, I'm less hopeful for Arizona (this year). Depending on how good the new coach is, it appears there has been some promising recruiting...

We have YTTV because of the NFL, we haven't used it much otherwise although we are considering going to it full time. Often, we watch shows not on our DirecTV for some reason (missed recording, etc.) on the specific appropriate apps that we subscribe to. The problem with DirecTV is it is awful...

I agree that BG and Jewell Loyd are not expected, but I think that if Gray, Copper or Thomas are going great at the time they would be possible. Thomas perhaps the most likely. But I also agree they are possibilities not to be included, Plum as well.

With the exceptions of Geno and I think Coach K on the men's side, it is a one Olympics gig. Always has been. I actually wouldn't mind more consistency, but they haven't chosen that route.

Don't see the favorites losing. I will root for Vegas, but need to root for Phoenix as I have rooted in varying degrees for them since moving out here in 2011. Not that I like the current edition as much as the past ones with Griner and DT, but at least there is Copper.

Just curious - we went to 2 World Series (both a while back, in fact one was the last year before the championship series was instituted), and were in Devon Park for the Big 12 Tournament this season - what did you get for the fan experience package? Oh, and yes, it certainly gets hot. The...

Sadly, the Rutgers era has passed, I think. Wheeler and Copper are the only 2 left in the W. A few years back you could have made a pretty good team out of Rutgers players, including some that never made the WNBA.

Not too shabby - 2 schools thought it was worthwhile to move to bigger digs for their hosting of UConn. Smart move. Unfortunately, Seton Hall is inviting you to enjoy the plush facilities of Walsh Gymnasium. I really miss going to away games, which we did all the time when we followed...

The coaches have an assistant do it. It is one of the factors that has devalued opinions regarding the Coaches Poll. I have no problem with coaches or writers making a poll without particularly seeing games. I've seen a huge amount of games since 1996 - probably 25 seasons (or more) of almost...

Incidentally, Barmore is at .869 winning percentage. He just didn't win enough games to make your list - 576 in 20 seasons. I tout him because, while there are some reasons to raise strength of conference issues, he was also in a different era.

Answering @Zarathustra, Geno has the highest winning percentage, its another tracked stat. He passed Leon Barmore, who had the record before him, many, many years ago. For coaches, it really is impossible to "equalize". Eras are not the same, but Geno's long career has encompassed a number of...

I got you, but the coaches of the era we are talking about didn't move around particularly. And I could name most of the coaches involved (Montclair State is an exception). By the way, if you extend to the "W" I think Cheryl Reeve has 4 - Fowles, Moore, Augustus and Whalen.

Just found an additional mildly interesting factoid - as I also do the Arizona and Rutgers opponents. Rutgers will be playing 3 500 game winners from the "mid-major" ranks - Tricia Fabbri that I'm sure you all know has 544 wins. Carla Berube has 505 (many at the Division II level, but the NCAA...

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...
