Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 2130888, member: 199"] The other thing to realize here is that all three coaches that got this question (i don't believe Vic was asked) were in a pregame press conference and took maybe 3 minutes to give an answer to a very complex question. If you really want an answer and not a sound bite, you need to sit down for an hour at least with each of them and preferably with them all together and discuss it. Are more better paying jobs part of the equation - yes. Is alternative job opportunity a factor - yes. Is there some bias in hiring - yes, and both ways! Is life style choice a factor - yes. Are there other factors - yes. You have 3 minutes - why are their a lower percentage of coaches in WCBB at D1? Start now .... pencils down your three minutes are up! Muffett also gave an answer to this type of question where she noted that for her last assistant job opening the applications she received were about 70-30 men to women, and her suggestion was maybe more women do not want to change schools - that they are more interested in the other aspects of life than purely career advancement than men are - pretty sexist answer on the face of it. But in surveys women tend to be more the quality of life choices than men are on a range of issue so sexist might also be said to be realistic in the real world in this case. [/QUOTE]
