Message: [QUOTE="CamrnCrz1974, post: 3375503, member: 1052"] Carla Berube was an "outside of the box" hire, in the sense that she was a Division III coach, not Division I. But all she did at Tufts was win -- she won exactly 80 percent of her games with the Jumbos, going 384-96 in 17 seasons while reaching the NCAA Division III final twice, the Final Four four times and the Sweet 16 nine times, including each of the last eight. I liken it to when Ohio State hired Jim Tressell from Youngstown State. While Tressell did not have Division I-A head coaching experience, he had won four national titles in Division I-AA. Winning is winning. Berube's challenge will be to replace Bella Alarie, who graduates this year. Berube has signed Kaitlyn Chen, [URL='http://www.espn.com/high-school/girls-basketball/recruiting/rankings/_/class/2020']who is ranked 69th per ESPN/Hoopgurlz[/URL]. And Chetanna Nweke, another signee, plays for Germantown. If Berube is able to continue Banghart's run, there is no doubt she will have her pick of P5 jobs in a few years. [/QUOTE]
