Where on the Baylor board? I'm seeing one post and it says "mix/lead" for Briggs. Am I missing another post?
Expand ...
There are two (now 1), one was on their 247 board but is now gone. Sicem has another but no clue how reliable that poster is. Briggs just started following Nicki on instagram and twitter, that is the only social media movement I have seen.

4 coaching changes in the SEC this year. McCray will be gone for sure next year, along with Curry. Yippeee. Its possible Blair and Pingeton might retire too.
Expand ...
The SEC needed a lot of change, the conference was becoming too weak overall IMO (NCAAT reflected that). McCray will not be gone after next season, although if she has a similar season as last year, her days may be numbered, Vic did not leave a rebuild. Blair won't be around much longer, he is up in age. Pingeton is still pretty young although they have had losing seasons the last two years and havent been the same since Cummingham left. Another losing season could expedite things...Not sure on Curry, she isnt ever going to win big at Alabama, I guess it depends on how content their AD is with that program.

Alabama made the NCAAT this year for the first time in 22 years. Unless AL falls off a cliff next season , Curry ain’t going anywhere.

They'll be 2-4 changes every year. We had 4 this year if these rumors are true. You can say it doesn't look like any of these guys are leaving but when the time comes, these i named are the most likely candidates. And I've said this before but our main guys in the know say that another abysmal year and McCray is likely gone. There's a lot of people watching women's basketball in Starkville. Not as many on those other campuses.

And TBF, Mizzou wasn't very good before Cunningham arrived (though the trend line was very marginally upward before Cunningham got to campus).

RP record at Mizzou without Sophie: 97-114 overall, 36-76 SEC (7 seasons*)
RP record at Mizzou with Sophie: 92-40 overall, 40-24 SEC (4 seasons)

A study, as they say, in contrasts.

*includes both the 19-20, 20-21 COVID affected seasons.

Agreed. If it was the Mississippi State baseball program then the lease would be much shorter. However, unfortunately the fan base will simply start dropping versus a large contingent demanding a change.

Not sure how you could fall off a cliff when you have only made the NCAAT once in over two decades :D

Thats a good point. I do like Blackwell and Frank though, they have some talented kids but they literally do not attempt to play defense most the time. She may not be there much longer if there isnt significant improvement.

Well.... This is contingent on my prediction that Alabama is headed to the cellar...bottom of the SEC level. I truly think theyll finish 2-14; all 3 of their best players left.

Their roster does not scream "optimism," for sure.

I was being sarcastic but their roster isnt promising. Between them, Auburn, Vandy, and Florida, it will be a battle of who will be the worst.

Vandy has had a ton of transfers in the last couple of years. Shea is starting with pretty much nothing.
Would be a shocker if Vandy isnt 11-14th place in year 1.

I think Auburn had by far the worst team in the SEC last year and they just lost Thompson. Vandy was right there IMO but they quit the season early so not much to analyze but you factor in losing Koi, they don’t have much to work with.

Vandy struggling this year won’t be any indictment on Shea, she has a tall task ahead of her.

Vandy had Hall and Newby leave, also.

They are young and (mostly) undersized, and their best remaining players can't seem to stay healthy.

  • Top 3 players who scored 2/3 of their points and each played 30+ mins are gone.
  • Of the 9 who played any minutes in 20-21, five return.
  • Of the 13 who played in 19-20, six return.
  • Combined, that's 4 players who averaged >20 mins in either of the last two years.
  • On the bright side, 3 of their 5 frosh were top 100 (ProspectsNation).
  • Just one upperclassmen taller than 6'1, but 3 of the frosh are 6'2.

As to the Alabama AD - it is Greg Byrne that was here. He was wise enough to hire Adia - but he tolerated Niya Butts long after she had lost the fan base, team and respectability. Of course, this was under Arizona's financial restraints, they let her finish out her contract.

I liked Greg, FWIW - he is an excellent AD - but there were some mixed downsides.

Will they throw money at Becky Hammon this time? Would she even want it?

Update: Being reported as "stepping down," and Finley will serve as Interim for 2021-22 season.

Well of course. Getting fired would be poison to his future career. Not that "stepping down" is great on the resume, but still better than "fired."

Interim makes sense since would be hard to get a replacement at this late date. In contrast this puts them at the front of the line for coaching searches next year, if they elect not to keep going with Finley.

And make a run at Smesko?

Wow, that press release was utterly uninformative. Not even the quaint lip service to "spending more time with my family".

I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess he had inappropriate relationship with a staffer or employee in the athletic department and allowed him to step down instead of being fired. At least that’s what’s being speculated by many close to the program

so now he can “spend more time with family”

This happened right after that key player transferred, so I assumed those two things were related. Or do you think that timing was just a coincidence?

I don’t have any inside knowledge but unless something happened between the two, it appears Briggs decided to leave after learning Cam would be stepping down (which was days ago but released today). She seemed extremely fond and close to Cam from what I have seen but who knows.

Ah ok makes sense. So they are related just in the other direction.
