It was reported that Karen Aston is out as the head coach of the University of Texas' women's basketball team. Should have kept Gail Goestenkors. Duke should have, too.
Lol @ Goestenkors. First of all, she resigned.It was reported that Karen Aston is out as the head coach of the University of Texas' women's basketball team. Should have kept Gail Goestenkors. Duke should have, too.
As I predicted quite a while ago, and to many here and otherwise, no real surprise.
Now for the other shoe to drop.
HEY PARTNER...TEXAS DOES EVERYTHING BIG, but I don't know about women's' basketball!Are they willing to go that big for basketball?
Always has been enough ...they just didn’t know how to develop itTexas cares about beating Baylor, period. I don't know how many coaches are going to be able to do that. Although there is certainly enough talent down here that they should be able to!

Say what?Don't say it or it won't happen.
That "T" word for a banger.Say what?
If I were any institution I'd rather hire Adolph Rupp in his current state.The last I checked, Holly Warlick was available.

Just because Aston didn't work out doesn't mean she was worse than Goestenkors.
And duh, of course Duke should've kept her.
Wowsa
Just saw it.
Good recruiter, questionable coaching chops
After perusing the AP announcement, I noticed that the majority of folks that commented thought that her coaching was just fine and that the admin had made a mistake...Hmmm.
I didn't mean it that way it all. Shorthand for "obviously". I'll edit.Duh, of course Duke should have kept her is an insult. What if I started a reply to your post with Duh. Grow up and answer like a grownup.
There's this thing called the internet where if you type in Gail Goestenkors you can actually see her resume and what she did/did not accomplish at Texas. Look at here relative standings within the Big12-abysmal. So let me be a tad direct here, Gail was an abject failure at Texas, Karen was significantly better at recruiting and the results showed that. However Karen is a terrible offense coach and her teams never developed any style or flow. Discipline on offense was always lacking. For three years she had an awesome guard combo with Brooke McCarty and Ariel Atkins that hid these flaws. Again, Karen did a great job representing the Univ of Texas and sold it well, she just couldn't coach a lick. Curious to see what name or direction this new AD wants to go down. Unlike softball, many WCBB Coaches do get good pay. I know Southie thinks Kelly Graves would leave but I completely disagree. Not sure was "star" coach that leaves open to pursue.It was reported that Karen Aston is out as the head coach of the University of Texas' women's basketball team. Should have kept Gail Goestenkors.

I wouldn't think that Graves would leave Oregon for any job in the country with the talent he's able to bring in every year now. He's got security and they love him up there. With bonuses he made $685K this on a new contract that runs thru 25-26 worth $6M over 7 years. Aston made a base of $515K this year.There's this thing called the internet where if you type in Gail Goestenkors you can actually see her resume and what she did/did not accomplish at Texas.
