We're gonna need to consult the board's geography experts. I'm not sure how going from Arizona to California gets her closer to Montana. Born in Bozeman but was in Havre when she graduated high school. Played college ball in Seattle but that's not home.
who?
Well, the AD should certainly not be sleeping well....
I thought I’d misread at first. Surely it’s Wisconsin-Green Bay or Wisconsin-Whitewater?!
Maybe, but considering he answers to a higher power who give him his marching orders, who's really to blame?.....
I don't think I intimated you said anything. I simply stated His poor results did not warrant granting him an additional year. I also note that yes, the school takes other things into consideration but sadly if the bar is "he treats players right, they graduate and are good community members" which frankly that should already be a criteria (which we all know is NOT the case in far too many programs) than yeah, give him another year. He should have the integrity himself to realize he has not competed well for himself or the players under his charge so whatever goodwill he had built up with me, is lost (but I am not writing his check so what does it matter what I think).
(Irish Green emoji).Santa Clara closer to Montana than Flagstaff....10 out of 10 geographers agree.
Montana is a REALLY big state. It depends on which part of Montana you are aiming for. A quick look at a map seemed to indicate Havre was pretty much due north of Flagstaff. Santa Clara is west and probably south too, so she's going the wrong direction!
Word.........
I wouldn't put Fortner in the upper echelon of coaches, but she had a long career and managed to win games at every stop. That's a pretty successful run if you ask me.And here's Michael Voepel's ESPN piece on the retirement. Said Fortner:
"Georgia Tech is a gold mine, as an institution and an athletics department, and is well-positioned to compete for ACC and national championships in women's basketball. That makes it very hard to step away. But for me, after spending much of the last 30-plus years on the sideline, I just feel that it's time."
Nell Fortner retiring after 6 years as Georgia Tech head coach
Nell Fortner, who was coach of the year in three different conferences during her college career and also guided Team USA to an Olympic gold medal in 2000, announced her retirement Monday after six seasons with the Georgia Tech women's basketball program.www.espn.com
They had Johnson for two seasons, however Norfolk State was good before she got there. Did she help them get over the hump for NCAAs? Sure, however the team came close to qualifying for the tournament prior to her arrival.

Fortner pretty much held the Purdue program together in her 1 year there after the Lin Dunn turmoil.
