Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3228685, member: 5798"] I did a little checking to see if Westbrook's and Church's situation was similar in any way. Here's what I found: Like Westbrook, Church just finished her [B][URL='https://mgoblue.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=17118']Sophomore (2018-19)[/URL] year. She Started all 34 games[/B], averaging 8.6 points and 3.9 rebounds in 26.8 minutes per game, so she could not complain about playing time. The head coach [B]Kim Barnes Arico[/B] just finished her 7th season as the head coach in 2018-19. According to an [URL='https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/college/2018/07/26/college-notes-michigans-kim-barnes-arico-earns-least-728-k-under-new-deal/844797002/']article in the Detroit News written Friday, July 26, 2019,[/URL] "Michigan women's basketball coach [B]Kim Barnes Arico's[/B] received [B]a contract extension signed earlier this summer. [/B]The two-year extension, which takes Barnes Arico through the 2022-23 season", so she's not going anywhere, yet Church's transfer request was granted, and granted early. Here's DePaul's announcement on signing Church: [SIZE=4][B][URL='https://mgoblue.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=17118']Multi-Talented Michigan Transfer Signs With DePaul[/URL].[/B] There's nothing in the announcement to suggest why she left, or why her waiver was granted. There is no mention of Church's transfer on the Michegan WBB website. [/SIZE] [B]Westbrook's [/B][URL='https://www.knoxnews.com/story/sports/college/university-of-tennessee/womens-basketball/2019/04/05/lady-vols-holly-warlick-buyout-tennessee-womens-basketball/3374833002/'][B]coach (Holly Warlick) was fired[/B][/URL][B] on March 27, 2019 [/B](the coach that recruited her, and the coach she went to Tenn to play for), and Westbrook also received a lot of negative feedback and ridicule on social media from fans and program boosters relative to a post-season media interview she did in March. So based on the comparison, how optimistic should we be? Like I said, UConn is due! :cool: [/QUOTE]
