Message: [QUOTE="SCspur, post: 2168083, member: 7443"] UCONN, Baylor, SC, ND, and Stanford will be the front runners for the FF next year again. Want to know why? Because each team has elite level coaches who understand the game and get the best out of all their players and has phenomenal coaching staffs. Texas has great talent but the coaching is very mediocre. Karen Ashton doesn't make in game adjustments to help her team. She got out coached twice by Tara and couldn't keep up in terms of coaching. Tenn should have a better team next season and I will admit Holly did have some good coaching moments this year but I doubt she can get this team together consistently, especially after what Reynolds said after the Bama game. That just went to show that great program has fallen off and lacks the discipline and fire that Coach Summitt instilled in that program. UCLA is similar to Texas, great talent but a very average coach. Close should have won the PAC 12 atleast once but failed and lost to lesser talent teams. Albeit Tara Vanderveer, Mike Neighbors, and Scott Rueck are great coaches it just should have been no excuse. I have no reason to believe next year will be any different just because teams picked up a couple talented players. Coaching and Defense wins championships. [/QUOTE]
