Anne Donovan resigns [merged thread]

[RSHERMVIKES]

Nicknames are apparently hard to change. Amazing how one's perception over 12 years old does not match the on-the-court record or what actually transpired since 2003...

CamrnCrz1974- - - - GG was blessed with some of the most talented, who's who of WCBB while she was the Head Coach of Duke and they continued to underachieve through out her Blue Devils reign! She constantly found a way to lose the big games!
She didn't exactly set the world on fire with her Texas stay either! Even though TX is a talent-rich WBB state!
When you bring up "her on-the-court-record or what actually transpired since 2003", remember if you coach long enough you acquire loads of wins, look at that shining light of coaching genius, Anne Donovan, who had over 200 wins in the WNBA! And she's been seen recently at the head of the unemployed line once again!

Lose big games? She lost some heartbreakers in the tournament. Absolutely.

But "continued to underachieve throughout her Blue Devils reign" and lose the big games? Like going 2-2 against Geno (with both wins in the State of Connecticut) and 5-4 against Summitt while at Duke? Like her 3-0 record against the Parker/Horbuckle/Anosike/Fuller recruiting class (two wins in Knoxville).

Duke had plenty of talent in her tenure. So did UConn. So did Tennessee. So did Maryland.

Duke had eight players and made the Final Four in 2002. Duke lost to Maryland in OT in the 2006 title game and lost three of its best players (and another to injury), but went undefeated in the regular season in 2007.

Again, amazing how one's perception does not match the on-the-court record or what actually transpired...
