Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 4552550, member: 6620"] It's not impossible to win at Pitt, but you've got to get the right person and, when warranted show some patience. [USER=7894]@nwhoopfan[/USER] is right about Women's Volleyball Coach Dan Fisher. He's led the Panthers (!) into the Final Four. However, he's in his 10th year and it took him awhile to hit his stride. Veteran Women's Soccer Coach Randy Waldrum has the Panthers scratching at the top tier of ACC Women's Soccer pecking order, which is even more competitive than the hoops scene. Then again, he won a national title at ND, so he's been there. And Jeff Capel, also in his fifth year, has got the Pitt Men's Hoops playing for the top spot in the ACC. So, it can be done. However, has Lance White merited another term? Were his five years something to build on? They do play very, very hard, but the talent level is not up to speed and they eventually wear down in the second halves. Or is it more of the same old, same old? My gut: as good a guy as he seems to be, I'm guessing Pitt will move on. They went with a long-time assistant coach in White. Will they look for someone with HC experience this time around, as UVA and Syracuse did? Will have to ponder this one... [/QUOTE]
