Message: [QUOTE="azfan, post: 5184851, member: 7748"] Last night watching the agony of the rebuild in Tempe, a loss by 10 to a Cougar team that is remarkably unathletic it's clear that a change needs to be made in Tempe. But then again it was clear this time last year. As it was just as clear this time the year before. BYU took advantage of the nice coach from Delaware and her commitment to not defending the three line nor the paint. After an 0 for three land first quarter BYU who was probably so amazed that they were wide open all the time finally started draining threes. Throughout the game they completely took the Sun Devil's lunch money in the lane. The reported attendance was 2500 which is as credible as Richard Nixon's claims about....... Well almost everything. Anyway the ratio of blue Cougar jerseys to sheepish maroon and gold wearers was five to one which puts 2000 Cougar fans in Desert Financial Arena. Not surprising. Just as I suppose it's not surprising that the very nice coach from Delaware is still pulling down $630,000 committing coaching malpractice. More spectator agony is Texas Tech visiting Colorado. Colorado only has seven players suited up with four injured including Frida Foreman so if this holds the kitties have a better than average chance of winning that game on Wednesday. So the announcers gave an amazing statistic for Texas Tech. They have never won the first quarter this season. That's incredible as I thought it would be impossible to find a more inept offense than what Natasha Adair has installed in Tempe. That streak continues as Colorado down four players and with only two on the bench wins the first quarter in a riveting manner 14-10. So I'm thinking about the very nice coach and 2021 CAA coach of the year and her $630,000 salary. We all know the success that JR Payne has had over the last 4 years and I believe she's been in the sweet 16 the last two. Before signing her contract extension last year she was making $450,000 a year. Side note Adia Barnes of the UofA has the greatest agent who ever lived. Anyway they renegotiated her salary and it's unfortunate that JR Payne didn't have Barnes' agent as she's now making $700,000 a year. Oy Let me repeat and underscore that in the 2023-24 season Natasha Adair made 50% more than JR Payne? This defies belief although it shouldn't given what we know about the ability of higher education to mismanage finances and athletic departments to misspending coaching pay. Perhaps this disconnect between salaries and performance offers a hint about the financial disaster that has been unfolding in higher ed over the last 20 years. Thinking about the dirty t and the kitties and the Buffaloes in Boulder however it's still to my way of thinking breathtaking that Payne now earns 40% less than the coach down in the dirty t and yet has 40% greater success. I'd like to get the name of Barnes's agent to renegotiate my retirement. Adia Barnes has the greatest agent who ever lived. Colorado not challenged by a very short bench and the absence of Frida Foremann leading a Texas Tech team that reminds me so much of the Sun Devils by 12 points midway through the second quarter. Tune in February 5th as the $1.2 million dollar coach leads her team into Boulder against the $700,000 coach and team. Barnes the 10th highest paid coach in women's basketball and the highest paid coach in the Big 12. Would anyone in their right mind put her in the top 25 coaches currently leading a team?
