Message: [QUOTE="RogueDave, post: 3117726, member: 6055"] A couple thoughts come too mind... MM makes statements of observations of inequalities for impact but offers no vision forward, how to get there, why the disparity exists in the 1st place...Here is an observation why don’t more women attend and support women in sports? Why aren’t UConn female Coeds filling the student sections? Her Parroting media talking points is vapid of critical thought. I fully agree Women coaches should be coaching in Men’s Sports...If they are best qualified...If not best qualified then Men coaches and AD’s regardless of gender should step up and mentor...get them to be most qualified... Gender does play a role and gives coaches unique insights... Female coach in a male sport may be better connected to the players with strong bonds to Mom...Naturally accustomed to having a strong female advocating for excellence from them...May have better effect than Male coach challenging, picking them apart constantly... Men in women’s sports remember Diana was never going to play for a Women in college...She wanted a man that would respect her and challenge her like no other...treat her like a player first, somebody she felt who would bring out her best... It is right to point out the inequities in coaching and hiring...It is wrong to use the platform as a bashing session... Real women leaders like Rebecca Lobo will set the record straight...and she will continue to advocate for individuals based on merit...and for young girls and women to continue to compete and participate for more opportunities based on excellence [/QUOTE]
