Banghart vs Lawson

[triaddukefan]

So, being one of attendance aficionados, I did a little digging and I have some data on attendance:
NC State averaged 4,652 in 17 games at Reynolds Coliseum
NC averaged 2,136 in 14 games
Duke averaged 3,018 in 15 games
Wake Forest averaged 913 in 14 games at Reynolds Gymnasium
The 2020 ACC Tournament averaged 5,442 over 9 sessioms

UConn averaged 9,105 in 12 games

Banghart needs to find a way to put more butts in the seats... they always lag behind their neighbors when it comes to that.

I have said in the past that Wake Forest should play in Reynolds Gym.... a 1,500 seat gym in the heart of Campus. They play in the Joel Coliseum which seats 14,665..... imagine 900 people in this building. I love going to games there... but I feel a bit bad for the Wake players

gotta say of all the new hires that involved some of these power 5's, Unc mighta hit a home run with Banghart. The job she did at Princeton was phenomenal and now she is recruiting amazingly at Unc. No doubt they are going to be a force in the Acc for years to come.

It was definitely on and popping Sunday, in front of a near sell out. They trashed Duke!

Triad, it's not like Cameron has a hefty crowd either, don't even try it. Perhaps Kara should find a way to put more butts in the seat. Maybe if she put a better product on the Court they would come.

Now back your neighbor in Chapel Hill. According to IC, they perhaps could land Ciera Toomey. I think we could all agree that all UNC is truly missing is another Post. Then maybe, just maybe, that would put more butts in the seat?

Sweep around your front door first, as far as attendance goes, you CAN'T talk!

I have highlighted 2 main comments you made that frankly point out maybe you shouldn’t talk!

#1 that crowd was 5,230 in a 6,822 seat arena or 77% filled. Not hardly a near sell out. Add in the fact it was BY FAR their largest home crowd this year, something tells me fans aren’t exactly flocking to this program. Next largest crowd was NC Stste with 4,136 then mighty Miami at 2,759.

#2 Duke has always led NC in attendance and by quite a lot over the years. Not counting last year’s Covid restricting year, on average over the past 5 years, Duke out drew NC by 1,197 fans per game over over 78 total games.

Those in glass houses might not want to throw stones especially at one out favorite posters!

The bottom line is they TRASHED DUKE, low attendance and all!!!!! Duke is TRASH!

Thank you for your interest in Duke WBB

I love trashing Lawson too but your reply was funny!

Hold on, how exactly is Duke trash with respect to this rivalry? It seems even to me.

As of Sunday it's 52 for UNC, 51 for Duke overall. Until Sunday UNC hadn't swept Duke for years, and out of the last 15 games, Duke won 12 of them.

That’s easy NC has been total trash until last year and they were mediocre last year. They obviously chose the better Coach so far though.

Why don’t I ever hear men talk about males “running their mouths”?

Because you don’t read the men’s board enough? It happens.

For what it’s worth it I got the chance to meet her, watch her coach and talk with her a few times when she was at Princeton. She was 100% that class act and is personable and engaging in person.

That's the key for me. Banghart has the advantage of previous coaching experience and developing a program. It's too soon to say whether Lawson is a bust considering it's year 2 (technically).

Im not gonna look it up, but I'm willing to bet that Duke has led them in attendance for at least 20 years. I'd be willing to bet we outdraw them next season. Its gotta be bad that a struggling squad outdraws a top 20 squad by almost 1,000 per game. Not to mention that Duke has by far the most stringent covid attendance requirements in the Triangle, and perhaps the entire nation.

Watch Lawson postgame. She’ll start out with the “I’m not going to make any excuses” and then go right into her diatribe making sure we all know Duke has not been at full strength for fourteen years and she doesn’t know if it’s a pipe dream of it ever being that way again. Important to remind the masses you were not part of the meltdown Coach!

This thread is developing some Big Troll Energy, which I guess is what should be expected when the title artificially pits two women against each other for no especially good reason.

Doesn't help that these coaches are also from rival programs. I think it further inflames the tone of some of the responses.

It's impossible to compare these two programs at this point if you ask me. Both are rebuilding, with UNC having a slight head start. Who knows where both programs will be in a few years. Like @triaddukefan said, let's check back in 2025.

Very well stated. Though I can’t claim an allegiance to either program so I can’t use that as an excuse for my antagonist behavior which will stop immediately

Midway through the third quarter I was ready to push it back to 2028.

 

[cockhrnleghrn]

Just stuff in the media



Stuff like this when her school probably averages about 2,000 a game

She coached at Princeton for 13-ish seasons and Jersey will permeate you. I know, I'm from Jersey and I love to talk junk.

 

[Gamecockfan77]

UNC has recruited fairly well and was without their best recruit this year, I think.

They probably are on schedule for a breakout next year of it's gonna happen.
