Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 3303039, member: 2117"] Frese has had her ups and downs but you don't stay a consistent top 10-15 team for fifteen years without being an excellent coach. In her 17 years in Maryland, she has: 1. Won a title 2. Made 3 Final Fours 3. has a 79% win percentage 4. Has won 4/5 Big Ten Championships 5. Had 5 Maryland players playing in the WNBA finals plus two others who played for her before transferring She's not a perfect coach, she has high player turnover and her style isn't for everyone, but there's no questioning she's among the elite group of coaches in the country. She took over a program that was dead in the water and turned them into a power house that has maintained a culture of winning. She drastically improved Minnesota in the 1 year she was there and also improved Ball State before that. I don't understand why she doesn't get as much respect as she deserves compared to someone like Jeff Walz who has a strikingly similar track record but no title to show. [/QUOTE]
