Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 3837883, member: 7492"] Hold on Let's do some clarification for both you and [USER=26]@EricLA[/USER] as your views are sort of on track and sort of off it; Tony Bozzella is Seton Hall's coach, who while not spectacular is solid and he's in his 8th season, and I would say his trend is looking up with this current team. The Penn State program was a very strong program historically under longtime coach Rene Portland who was justifiably let go. That said Coquese Washington had some initial success at PSU before cratering her last 5 years. Carolyn Kieger left Marquette due to significant pay and better facilities in a higher profile league. All justifiable and hopefully a learning lesson for both Marquette and the Big East. The simple fact is the BE Women's Basketball plan needs to mirror the men's-pay your coaches so they stay and develop the programs to be powers across the landscape. Think about Villanova, Seton Hall, Marquette, now the UConn men and hope the Women's programs focus similar tactic to improve WCBB. I would say in the very least, we are significantly ahead of where we were the last 6 years. I like the horizon for DePaul, Marquette, Villanova, Seton Hall and even St. John's over the likes of Houston, Tulane and Temple. Only USF is an opponent loss for us. While UCF has improved since Coach Abe arrived, she has not delivered as much as the Joanna Bernabei-McNamee has at Boston College (Joanna succeeded Abe at Albany), and as "chippy" as some thought Marquette was last night...[ ] I will take the Big East every day over AAC and twice on Sunday...
