Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 4860740, member: 7492"] For the record, I think BOTH Juju and Hannah are great bu if you want to compare, you can't just "cherry pick" the conference schedule, which yes, has favored Juju's harder road thus far. For you and the group reading this,: USC is 13-3 and their 16 opponents average NET is 100.93 ND is 14-4 and their 18 opponents average NET is 118.44 So, at this point Juju has played the harder schedule. Juju has a 26.1 Scoring average, 7 rebound per and 3.4 Assists, 2.6 Steals Hannah has 23.9, 6.4 rebounds, 5.6 Assists, 5.4 Steals (which leads the country (#2 is as 4.31). Let's call "marquee games" those against Top 15 NET opponents. I chose that number as that group tends to be more stable and usually stays in the top 25 NET grouping. Juju has faced 5 teams in the top 15, and she has 3 remaining with #3, #10, #15. Juju will not have any "National televised games on this schedule".She will have 8 Marquee games. Juju's average NET for the USC schedule will be 75.75. [B]Hannah had 1 "marquee game" [/B]with SC as the first game of the year. Her "marquee games" are all coming up with #2, #14, #7, #14. Hannah has her game with UConn on Saturday on Fox, she has 3 other games on ESPN and 1 game on ESPN2 scheduled. She will have 5 "marquee games" in total. Her current average NET for the ND schedule will be 89.51. To me, the stats and the opportunity favor Hannah. As far as Gottlieb, I have been following women's basketball since 1991, Gottllieb is a great ambassador for the game with hosting symposiums and podcasts while at Cal and is articulate in the media. Her recruiting at Cal was average at best. Yes, in year 2 of assuming the Cal job after Joanne Boyle left for Virginia, Lindsay did reach the final four with a team led by all of Joanne's recruits. Her recruiting failed to get past the 2nd round and she never finished better 7th (year 4 after Boyle's players all left). Now that she's at USC she has been able to improve her recruiting due to NIL money and has done extremely well with it. But her game schemes and lack of half-time adjustments have been noted for years by those who watch the game. I have seen her coach over 50 games while at Cal and USC and I will stand by my assertion she's a poor x's and o's coach. I would recommend you shore up you admitted lack of seeing her coach, and view a few of her games this year to make a first-hand assessment and of course to watch Juju who is a wonderful player. I just think Hannah is having the better year. [/QUOTE]
