I felt like there was far more hoopla over Geno than Hatchell but that might just be a function of the accounts I have in my social media feed.  The article is right, though.  There ought to have been far, far more hoopla for both.

I wish ESPN would push WBB harder.  I feel like a lot of the big news stories in WBB are relegated to the ESPN Women's Hoops twitter account rather than the main ESPN account, for example.  At the same time, they probably don't want to be seen as "having an agenda" to promote women's sports and WBB is relatively low on the list of the most popular sports they can cover.

There's just this chicken-and-egg situation.  Women's sports aren't covered because they're not popular.  But they're not popular because they're not covered.

This isn't just an ESPN thing, by the way.  ESPN, overall, should be lauded for their commitment to women's basketball, in my opinion.  I see the same thing in the way the golf media treats the LPGA, for example.
