Message: [QUOTE="Puppy Love, post: 5103127, member: 8101"] One other thought. Nearly any school that has sustained excellence has it because they got and kept a great young coach. In the early days, that was possible because women’s basketball was flying under the radar. Suppose today a young coach is hired by You Never Heard of It University. In their first three years, they start winning every game in sight. The next thing you know, they’ve made two or three runs deep into the NCAA’s. How long is it going to take before Big State University with an endless budget, hires that coach? It’s going to be a lot harder for schools to retain coaches if the money is there to hire them away. That means it’s going to be harder and harder to build any kind of sustained program. [/QUOTE]
