Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3609356, member: 5798"] The ink is barely dry on her contract, and some folks are already questioning if she will be successful, and how quickly that success will come. Coaches are judged by how many championships they win. I wonder how many fans and WCBB critics will deem Lawson a failure if she doesn’t win right away? She must be given time to recruit her own players and given time to blend them into a functional unit. How many years did it take Geno to win his first one? It took Mulkey 5 years to win her first one at Baylor in 2005. Staley won her first NC in her 17th year as a coach. Lawson should not be judged until she’s had time to get all of the players she inherited out, and her players in. Any talk of Duke seriously challenging UConn in the next few years is speculative. Duke must catch and pass all of the programs ranked beneath UConn first. Congratulations Kara Lawson as you begin the next phase of your life and coaching career. Blue Devil Nation and all of your fans are with you. Show them how it’s done. :) [/QUOTE]
