Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 4914456, member: 7492"] I have no idea what you are talking about and frankly neither do you. Let’s recap: the old AD Desiree Reed-Francois put Robin Pingeton on notice last year in April stating that the WBB team was falling well short of expectations and that the coach would be given one more year to make the NCAA Tournament or she would be out. Now, in February DRF, as she was called, left for the Arizona AD role. Many have speculated this would given Robin a reprieve but I do not believe that. She has one year left on her contract and if fired now the school owes her ~$233k. The school has an interim AD while the search for a permanent one is occurring. Remember that Football and Men’s Basketball are sports managed by the top AD, other sports like WCBB are managed by Associate ADs so if the prior AD had a mandate in place, I doubt the underling would diverge from that path with an interim AD who was also aware of it. A new coach would probably not be hired until the new AD is in place. you assertion that this instance is potentially about family is hogwash. Use the google search to go see all the St Louis and other Mizzou articles that talk at length about the failings of Ms. Pingeton and her 14 yrs at the helm. [/QUOTE]
