Message: [QUOTE="nwhoopfan, post: 2141684, member: 7894"] Payne played at UW, was an assistant there at one point and has spent her entire coaching career in the NW. That's one that they maybe wouldn't have to worry about bolting for another job after a few years. Currently head coach at Univ. of Puget Sound, a D3 school in nearby Tacoma. She's been there 7 years, didn't realize it's been that long. Has a decent record. I would be really worried about Paye, if she's successful as head coach she might be the top pick to replace Tara whenever she retires. Barnes has been the head coach at Arizona, her alma mater, for 1 year. Not sure if she's likely to leave, if she does, I'm not sure what that says about a coach that changes jobs after 1 year. She spent some time in Seattle playing for the Storm and later as an assistant at UW. Whoever they get, they need to be able to recruit locally. They've been completely failing the last 2-3 years.
