Could we all please stop speculating about Shea's departure from the NCAA tourney bubble? There's been no evidence that she was speaking with VU before White was fired. The timeline doesn't fit. If anyone is hinting that this happened, then it's also accusatory that the university was interviewing behind White's back, after confirming she would be returning. And yes, this does happen. Of course, however in this case, no proof. Let's just be happy for her and her family.

She's with Marisa at Wisconsin.


I've heard Kevin DeMille is a likely candidate. He was with UConn for a long time (as a practice player, grad assistant, and then as assistant director of operations). Then he went to GW with Jen Rizzotti.

Hopefully not the person Geno is considering

Everything head women’s basketball coach Shea Ralph said at her introductory press conference - The Vanderbilt Hustler

Just one week after firing Stephanie White, Vanderbilt on Tuesday announced the sixth head women’s basketball coach in program history: Shea Ralph. Ralph may be a first-time head coach, but she’s not a stranger to coaching. The former UConn standout and WNBA player quickly returned to the...

That interview is about 100 times the amount of words, I've heard Shea utter
during the entire time she coached at UConn.

For the umpteenth time that is not what happened. It is insulting to Shea to suggest that she would abandon her team and mentor in the middle of the NCAA tournament for a job that wasn’t even available. Stop.

Yup but Shea did say this famous quote of Paige Bueckers early before the season.

" We have had alot of #1 players here but she does not disappoint"

Is that the kind of deductive logic they teach at Duke?

If it was really water under the bridge to you, you'd stop mentioning it.

Yeah but all that "water" was just you pissing into the wind.

I agree and wow indeed. When Morriah Jefferson graduated, she singled out and gave accolades to Shea, who also rarely smiled. Now I understand, and this interview was a terrific showcase for her.

I think she looked more poised while answering questions extemporaneously than when reading her prepared script. Perhaps she learned that from Geno. :D Bias aside, she may do quite well at Vandy. I guess I'll be following along.

Question: Anybody know the URL of their equivalent to the BY fan board?

VandyWhit is one of the mods. We used to communicate occasionally years ago. She’s good people

HA! That's exactly what I thought. Actually, when I saw the above presser snap of Shea getting ready to speak, the first thought I had was, "oh, cool, I 'll will finally get to hear what Shea sounds like when talking. She did not disappoint; she impressed. Kudos to Shea.

Thanks Nan.

I urge everyone to go the webpage and enjoy the hurricane in a tea cup Vandy fans are having over who should get the credit for hiring Shea.

Shea's coaching career at Pittsburgh will help her recruit with both feet on the ground at Nashville. The commodores do not seem to be aware of that.

So before March 21 you know that Vandy had no contact with Shea maybe through back channels? Would it have been considered tampering if they had? Also do you know when the decision was made to fire White?

Do you know they did have contact with her. Just stop with this stupid speculation

No, but then again I don't know that aliens didn't kidnap Shea and replace her with an alien clone lookalike before March 21 either. Do you think that happened as well?
