I don't know anything about coaches salaries in the WNBA, but since the players don't make
much I'm guessing that the coaches don't either. The salary at a good P5 program like Vandy
might be much better than what she's earning now with the Fever.

That maybe true.

Not surprised at all. White had expressed an interest in going to the college game, but she wanted to go to a school with high academic standards where the academics could be used to lure top athletes. Actually, she told people that had the Duke job come open, that would have been her #1 choice.

Too bad for Duke. Vanderbilt has had a rough couple of years. I don't know all of what happened. They needed some one new to take over. We will find out who soon.

OTOH, White also gets paid well for her TV work, so the Vandy job might require a little pay cut. My WAG for the Vandy position: max. of $.8M for 5 years.

Wow! Steph White!! That surprises me a bit.

Anyone one of those would be a good choice. Didn't realize Vandy was a highly touted job!!!

Finally, some real reporting on this: Vanderbilt women's coach search narrowed to three finalists

Apparently it will be Ivey, Banghart, or Stephanie White. I honestly think the most exciting of the three is White. She is doing a tremendous job with the Fever.

Personally, I'm rooting for Banghart. That keeps White on commentary during the college season and Ivey on ND's sideline!

You don't win without great recruits so Ivey would definitely be my choice since she is a great recruiter.

White's job with the Fever has been very impressive. She certainly proved to this WCBB fan that getting the most out of the pieces she's given, isn't something lost on her. If she continues to work her magic, she'll be able to choose her landing spot. While her head coaching resume may be short, it's been an outstanding beginning. If I were the Kingmaker, she'd be my Queen.

All things being equal I'd rank them White, Banghart and Ivey. Of course, all things are never equal so it'll be interesting to see how this plays out. Solid choices.

I agree with your ranking and I don't even believe it's close.
 
Are we putting aside Aditem above:
That it's Ivey?

I am surprised White is considering going to a college program. I agree she is a good coach. The Fever looks like a better job. Unless she just wants a change or is having problems with management there.

I'm a little surprised too, but not because the WNBA job is better - I can't imagine that it is, pay-wise. But I think White has strong ties to Indiana and likes to work there. Plus WNBA is a short season and allows to her do TV during the regular basketball season.

I remember reading somewhere that the average salary for a WNBA head coach is between $200,00-250,000. Also, hard to imagine that her job broadcasting WBB would pay her more than her head coach salary. If anything, a move to Vanderbilt would probably at least double her current income of coaching and broadcasting.

I understand the financial lure - Nashville is a great town. And I'm assuming she feels ok with the social politics since she's witnessed Indianapolis'. Wonder about the schedule, though. College is non-stop. WNBA? You work you off for 4 or 5 months, then hang out in the best seats at college games... ;-)

"...she would not join Vanderbilt until after the season's done." Unless Coach White is the overwhelming favorite for the position, I'm not sure I'd be going gagas over that one. While she can get some things done while working in/out of Indiana, you're missing face time with your current team and incoming frosh over the summer (and it's a 6-person class still coming in, to the best of my knowledge) and building/overseeing your staff.

Listen, I like Steph White for a whole lot of reasons (player, commentator, pro HC), but starting off a job like this with, in effect, a cha-cha step is a bit disconcerting. (This is not like an NFL coach doing another game or two in the NFL). Could be a tip in the favor of the candidates from Princeton and/or South Bend.

Then again, I'm not the search committee and/or the AD and president. If they want to hire Coach White, I'm perfectly fine with Nieile heading up our recruiting efforts ;):rolleyes: (although I'd also like to see her get a shot at the end chair!)
 
Let's sum this up:
We've been told its Niele Ivey
Hold the phones: Courtney Banghart is also under consideration
Wait: Stephanie White wants to coach college; she's in the mix

And that there would be a press conference today...and that Ivey met the team the other day as the new coach.

Press conference today?
Well, where is it... during the Preakness?

Doubt it

Scads and scads of disinformation in this thread.
Real drag.
I actually think that Chris Dailey is up for the job :)
So there!

Further to the above
We can enjoy the Preakness in a few minutes w/o multi-tasking
According to the Tennessean:

No coach has been hired and no press conference has been scheduled.

You believe this guy?
How many blind alleys has he led us up?
Based on the above, I'd say Ivey is a lock. :)

It does seem to change by post, no? What was that game show, "Let's Make a Deal?" We'll almost have to wait
for Doors #1, #2 and #3 to open to see.

Or at least an official press release. ;):D
 
I suggest we all just wait for today's press conference.. Speculation will drive you insane if you let it.

This inevitable result of wild and unfounded speculation is no deterrent to Boneyarders. I offer the hundreds of posts about the Vandy coaching position or Megan Walker's intentions as evidence.

I saw on twitter a few days ago that a presser would be had by Sunday but I just direct messaged a Vandy beat writer on Twitter and he said the decision will be made some time within the coming week. My mistake.

Anticipation...one of the joys in life. Considering Vanderbilt's history, tradition, and values, my money is on Courtney Banghart. While I agree with UconnCat's ranking, she's an excellent selection as well, and won't be doing the LVs any favors. If Holly's feeling the heat now, just wait!:eek:

Disinformation means an *intent* to mislead.
Raoul, and others, are passing on what they are hearing. Of course it is rumor and unofficial. And as a result, sometimes it's going to be wrong. But I see no evidence that anyone is trying to intentionally spread false information.
