I'm just an outsider but the players definitely appear to enjoy playing for her to my eye.  She seems very personable.

It's impossible to know how Melgoza would've developed under Neighbors, but as a Fr. she barely played and averaged like 2 points per game.  Soph year she exploded to 19 ppg and 2nd highest scorer in the Pac 12 (actually led the league in scoring in conference only games).  There was nothing from her first year that made me think she was going to be a star player.  Not really sure what that means, just musings.

UW has had a very up and down history since I've been following at least casually for around 20 years.  At times they were challenging Stanford for the conference crown, at times they've been middle of the pack, and some times they've been terrible.  I guess it's fairly easy to keep expectations from being too ambitious since the school hasn't been consistently great.  The Plum years were a lot of fun, especially her Sr. season.  I'm glad I got to enjoy that era.
