Perfect GIF. Absolutely perfect.

That's one of my top 5 favorites.

So, The Butler did it? or The Butler did it!

Thank heavens for your quick wit! Bravo!

You don't remember Ballentine Beer? Shades of my youth. It is now a subsidiary of Pabst and the name isn't much used. I don't think it was very popular, but I think it was still around in the '70's when I was in college.

The MTA is NYC's transit authority. They don't use tokens any more. I still have a couple somewhere. I was still working in NY when they switched to the swipe cards, which were better. Except, when my wife and I were in NYC a few years back on our one trip east (meeting someone at Katz's and then going to the WTC memorial) none of the machines at the Station were working to buy a card and we had to take a cab.

I think it was Me Allen with the Yankees in the 50's who called homers a Ballentine Blast.

Not surprised. A&M have money to pull coaches

 

[dws3665]

And the Ballout is reporting that UGA is going to turn around and hire Coach Yo!!!

I think the etiquette is to formally wait until the coaches of teams still playing in postseason (NCAAT and WNIT) finish their season (lose) before they formally interview or announce the various departures from the current school.

As such, BC is still alive in the WNIT as is Marquette so if either Joanna Bernebei-McNamee or Meg Duffy are candidates for P5 schools, no announcement will be forthcoming until the team loses. We know their agents have been busy on the phones drumming up interest if not genuine at least pseudo so to get more money for their client from the current school. That could be why Syracuse, ASU and a few others are still open.

WVU has more tradition than BC but is it a clear upgrade along the coaching ladder? Surprised JBM would leave when she’s got things turned around in the ACC.

They for sure do. And, they've used their money quite liberally when hiring coaches for Men's sports. Don't believe they've done the same when hiring coaches for women's sports.

In women's volleyball, they went super cheap hiring an assistant coach from Kansas U to lead their program; one NCAA tourney appearance back in 2019 and that's as much as she's accomplished. So, sometimes you do get what you pay for.

Syracuse job has been open the longest, obviously. All this slow-moving is costing them so many players deciding to enter the transfer portal. Or, since they've entered the last couple of days, perhaps a hire has been made and the players have been informed of their new head coach, and then decided to move on.

On that etiquette note, I found it extremely odd that the Louisville assistant was announced as Mississippi State HC before the tournament even started.

Bernabei has done an okay job of elevating BC from bottom-feeder status to multi-time WNIT entrant, but really she should've done better with that team this year.

How exactly is Duffy being presented as a hot commodity for every big opening? She did an okay job in her first year with the inherited talent, but was still only a 10 seed and lost in the 1st round. This year, WNIT. She hasn't exactly elevated the level of Marquette WBB from where Kieger left it. Hasn't yet proven she can recruit at the level needed to sustain repeat NCAA tournament appearances, much less win NCAAT games.

Maybe Cardoza can land the Butler job. Would be back in the Big East for her.

No change at UNC-G. I thought she might be on the hot seat. She definitely needs to pick it up next season... We won't settle for lower tier status at The G.

Well she is a WV Native, and served as an assistant at WVU. She's probably get a raise and it would be easier to get to the upper tier of the revamped B12 as opposed to the ACC.

 

[Jmsdawg]

I am surprised no one has tried to convince the UCF coach to fill one of the open jobs. Judging by the UConn game she would be a gem!

I have heard she is in the mix at UGA, fwiw.

I saw your earlier comment regarding Coach Purcell. Off the top of my head I know when Coach Schaefer was hired from Texas A&M he was announced in early March and did dual duty until the Texas A&M season was completed. I’ve seen it several ways regarding timing. I’m sure part of it depends on when the former coach leaves and the school the coach is leaving. Coach Walz may not have wanted the distraction of the rumors.

I read that coach Abe was considered by UVA.

Wait, what? The UVA Athletic Director had a choice of Katie and chose the Mizzou State coach?

Agreed. I do think they dropped a Milly plus bag on Joni. Could have gotten better with their money. But I'm not mad that Joni getting paid either.

I don’t know that Katie was a true option. Just read that she was considered. Could be she had no interest.
