Message: [QUOTE="southie, post: 3506747, member: 2527"] I've heard most of what you stated in the past. What still does not make sense to me is why Plonsky would not want Gail to retain any of the current assistant coaches. Typically, you have an AD trying to force conditions on a new hire of who they will be required to retain, and new head coaches hate that restriction. Personally, Clarissa Davis should never have been hired by Jody Conradt as I believe she had zero collegiate coaching experience, and not much coaching experience other than high school club ball. She only coached for one season, I believe, before Conradt resigned; and, she had no success (recruiting-wise) in her short tenure. I doubt Gail would have kept her on staff regardless of any alleged meddling by Plonsky as Clarissa's resume' was very weak. Most Texas fans wanted Gail to retain our other assistant head coach, and former men's hoopster, Travis Mays, as he was the one who had proven himself on the job. Can you tell me why she hired Lakale Malone of all people? That just didn't move the needle in any way. [/QUOTE]
