2025 WCBB Coaches Hot Seat edition

[WBBTakeover]

TaMu : 50/50

Georgia: She'll get 1 more yr.

UVA: Mox was "50/50" as well but apparently that donation from Serena Williams husband bought her another year. That and the fact that she has recruited VERY well and they would likely lose all there players.

All of this was common knowledge.

Is Barry Alvarez still AD? He tends to hold his coaches accountable and wants to see significant progress.

Word on the street is Wilson at SMU is getting another because they don’t want to buy out her contract.

I look for Joe McKweon to retire before he gets let go. May get a push from administration but he is well liked at Northwestern.

Alvarez left in 2021.

I'm curious to see what Wisconsin does going forward. I feel like I make this post every 6 months, but here goes my Wisconsin rant/analysis:

They are in the middle of a recruiting hot bed, being located within a 4 hour drive from Minneapolis, Chicago, Milwaukee and Des Moines but haven't been able to land any top players. In state they've missed out on Megan Gustafson, Arike Ogunbowale, KK Arnold, Allie Ziebell, Lexi Donarski, and McKenna Warnock in recent years.

Women's basketball has been the notable black hole of a sports program for the last 20-30 years while every other sport has flourished for extended periods of time. They've never reached a Sweet 16 and seem to cycle through a new coaching tree every few years. They've tried hiring from Pat's coaching tree (Albright), Muffet's (Tsipis), Tara's (Kelsey) and now Geno's (Moseley) with only Albright finding some sustained success, but her teams often faltered late in the season.

There's really no reason why Wisconsin shouldn't be a top 15 program each year though. Madison is a great college town and extremely supportive of women's sports. They sell out every volleyball match and have one of the strongest fan bases in the country. When women's basketball was decent in the late 90s/early 2000s, they were among attendance leaders in the nation with Tennessee, Connecticut, Iowa State and Texas Tech. In short, all of the pieces are there for Wisconsin to be a giant in the sport, but they've never been able to find any success. Hopefully they shell out for a good coach who can recruit and build a solid team.
