Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 3963722, member: 7492"] The similarities to Collen and White's background is eerie. Like [USER=59]@Vowelguy[/USER] said, the WNBA coaches have gotten slightly better but still can't compare to the top college coaches, add in the key recruiting concept and how to stay on the same wavelength as college kids vs. pros and I think anyone who just assumes the WNBA coaches will shine is sorely mistaken. It would be hard for Collen to be as bad as White but no way do I think this was a "great hire" by Baylor. Recruiting and selling your program is essential to be an elite college coach and I do not see that in Collen. This coming year should be ok for her as she has a good nucleus, just like she did in her first year in Atlanta when she won the Coach of the year but since then she was dreadful. After this year she has to pull in recruits and restock which will be a tall task especially if Dauda asks for her release and follows Kim. At least Schneider and now Christa Gerlich are in the Big12 so Baylor will never hit rock bottom...:rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
