I'm far from a Muffet fan but I don't think she said anything that Geno or any other coach would not have said under the circumstances. I agree with cabbie 191 and ucbart. If we were faced with a similar shock to the program this board would be alive with angry comments concerning the young athlete's thought process.
I'm actually sad for women's basketball. Continuity has always been one of its strengths. I prefer it to the men's game because you can watch a team develop, for players to grow.
I also disagree with the argument that she should jump at the money. The logic that she can always return to get her degree works in reverse for me. The WNBA will still have 50k waiting for her next year. Let see how she feels playing basketball in Turkey next year while her team (ND) is fighting to get to the Final Four.
What's the great rush to get out into "the real world"? I miss my college teammates forty years later and I wasn't playing on national TV or being named a concensus all-American. In five years she'll be willing to trade a season's salary to have her senior year back.
