Message: [QUOTE="WestsideWaltz, post: 3009556, member: 3112"] A My contention was that one player, Jasmine Dixon propelled her final two years at UCLA. As for being a poor administrator and arrogant personality, it has a lot to do with being a basketball coach as she also alienated a lot of the local coaching community with her personality and many responsibilities and duties that head coaches do were neglected or palmed off to others. That is significant in a coaching search. Her relationships with her assistant coaches, especially Mickie DeMoss, has also been questionable. Cori Close missed the NCAA tournament her first three years. True. And whose recruits was she working with? Take a look at Washington to see how quickly a top program can fall when the previous coach did not do their job. Secondly, although I find Close a very average, mediocre coach and felt she underachieved with her #1 class, her last three seasons with her own players had two Sweet 16s and an Elite Eight. Caldwell Fargas has never achieved that in three seasons anywhere and her record at LSU has been almost schizophrenic but never high achieving. [/QUOTE]
