Message: [QUOTE="ocoandasoc, post: 2496328, member: 3032"] Let me give a shout out to my alma mater's coach -- Robin Pingeton at Mizzou. While she wouldn't enter the conversation re elite WCBB coaches, she might crack the Top 25 and is certainly an up-and-comer. Coach of the Year in the SEC last year, finishing third (behind the two teams that played for the NC) and beat South Carolina. Missouri was a doormat in WCBB for years, and recruiting was dismal. She's stringing some decent seasons together with one or two Top 100 recruits and some spirited role players. Her efforts to build a fan base and attendance reminds me of Geno's efforts back in the late 80's and early 90's. Her teams play hard, improve over the course of the season, and, when their 3-pointers are dropping, they can be competitive with almost anybody. Missouri can't attract Top 10 talent that hungers for a NC yet, but the program is getting a reputation as a great place to play with a fun, family atmosphere. [/QUOTE]
