In some respects, the Hatchell trajectory is similar to Tennessee-what does an athletic department do with a program that had been great and is only doing ok with a passionate figure who either led the program or helped build it. Can you shepherd them into another role as a segue to the next "life" of the program?

Sylvia's career is directly analogous to Bobby Bowdoin at FSU who wanted to call his own end but finally took the hint. UNC WCBB doesn't make the money nor have the Alumni sway to move a coach out but the demise is evident. The talent seems to be be ok and show potential but does Sylvia know when to take the bow...I am not convinced she does.

The difference to Tennessee is Holly helped build the program but is more of a "never was" as a coach, though she does ok with results-should the results be better given the talent, perhaps but she still wins 20+, gets talent and keeps the program relevant with top 3 attendance.

It's a slippery slope both school administrations need to navigate and one the UConn Men's program is currently navigating. I just hope this does not foreshadow the UConn WCBB program in 5-10 years...
