Message: [QUOTE="SVCBeercats, post: 3151802, member: 7874"] Second, I think you missed the main pt of her article, which is that the entire process showed UNC is not taking WCBB seriously, based on two main points: [B]1. Was Banghart, who has spent her entire coaching career in the Ivy Leagues, the best they could get?[/B] [I]Voepel: So the North Carolina job -- which should have been highly coveted -- went to someone who throughout 19 years as a player, assistant and head coach in the Ivy League has won once in an NCAA tournament game. [B][COLOR=rgb(85, 57, 130)]Would you have said the same thing about Auriemma's hiring at UCONN? Hey, your not serious about winning. Mike Tomlin was a defensive coordinator for Minnesota for one year and defensive backs coach for Tampa Bay for 2-3 years. Yet the steelers selected him as their head coach over far more experienced coaches who in fact helped take the Steelers to a Superbowl victory the year before. Currently Tomlin has taken the Steelers to the Superbowl twice and has the second best winning percentage of all active NFL coaches sans Belichick. Banghart is an Orca who will be eaing he livers of the so-called experienced great white sharks in the next 5 years. Auriemma's progeny have not won anything in the way NCAA tournaments and he is the best coach.[/COLOR][/B][/I] [B]2. If UNC thinks this is an awesome hire, why not actually role her out like it is, instead of doing an awkward press call? [COLOR=rgb(85, 57, 130)]Perhaps because UNC has faced an academic scandal and the firing of Hatchell and thus wish to low key the hiring. Also like Breanna Stewart Banghart may see no reason for a big media todo which is against everything in our hyperbolic society.[/COLOR][/B] [/QUOTE]
