Wonder where they learned to play that game?Texas also hired an assistant coach who comes from the high school ranks and has strong ties to Brianna Turner. I think that's shady and alarming, but it is nevertheless what they're doing. Certainly, landing Turner could make Texas instantly relevant.
Exactly, the kind of thing that should be prohibited under NCAA rules. Pap, you are right they are just mimicking Waco traditions.Texas also hired an assistant coach who comes from the high school ranks and has strong ties to Brianna Turner.

Unfortunately, you are correct.If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. It's not like this practice was invented in Waco. When Kristi Curry was at Purdue she hired the daughter (Katrina Merriweather) of the AAU coach of Amber Harris and Ta'Shia Phillips. As mentioned in my post in the thread on Beth Cunningham to ND, it didn't turn out so well for Purdue much to the benefit of Xavier. As Baylor and Purdue learned, these hires can bring risk (recruiting violations) and rewards (recruits).

Indeed, such practices are common in the men's game. However, I think many WCBB fans, even those of us who also like MCBB, appreciate the many ways it's not like MCBB and would prefer it remain distinct. Especially when it comes to recruiting.When current SDSU men's coach, Steve Fischer, was at Michigan, he hired Jalen Rose's high school coach, When Danny Manning was at Kansas, his father, Ed, who also played for Larry Brown in the ABA, was on the Kansas bench. The list goes on and on.
