yeah, that's a solid point, but the feedback I got made it sound like the observers didn't see caution, but disinterest
To be clear, I didn't say that females were automatically perfect coaches. I said, the perfect WBB coach would be female. Male coaches can be fantastic as well.
I appreciate the fun-with-numbers game as much as anyone, but I think you're trying a little too hard. The criticism for Graves should be short and sweet: The last 3 off-seasons he's lost more talent than he brought in, by a significant margin. You can't sustain success that way. A full comparsion with Runge is going to only be making a case for Graves. When the debate is if he's the best coach in school history or the second best coach, would be another point to keep Graves. Wanting to delete his best three seasons, but make him own the first three seasons when he was having to rebuild the worst program in the conference, in a time where you couldn't just simply rebuild in through the portal; that's just straight cherry picking. I agree with you that he's unlikely to be fired, unless the exit interviews with Mullens and the players are anything close to the message board rumors.
Yeah. Not disagreeing. That was just some personal frustrations we've had to deal with spilling over.
Happens to the best of us... Having "bad" coaches or teammates can be the best learning experience for adolescence. I have yet to work for a company that has perfect leadership and co-workers.
Well, I'm simply saying the idea that a woman would manage women or girls better than a man has been completely false in our experience. Repeatedly. We have more quality male coaches now on our one club team than my 3 daughters have had quality female coaches in 8 years of basketball. And the good female coaches we did have aren't even coaching anymore. It's incredibly disheartening actually.
If you find the right club it can be good. We are more into training and probably less into traveling all over the country than most club players. Our current club is incredibly welcoming and empowering. We look for clubs that build character and confidence in everyone as opposed to clubs who just try to get the most talented players on the same team to destroy weaker teams. We want everyone held to the same standard. I don't generally like most of the AAU stuff, but there are some people who can really help kids improve. But the main thing is finding a good trainer who knows their stuff and cares about the kids. The club is really just there to help the kids get seen.
rumors running rampant about the ongoing negotiaons for the expanded College Football Playoffs and revenue distribution....which is estimated to be around 1.3B a year and if the rumors are accurate, the Have's are getting richer, the Have-light's are tredding water, and Have-Not's are getting drowned in a barrel: the membership numbers, next season: Big-10 + SEC = 34 teams ACC + Big-12 = 33 teams Notre Dame + OSU/WSU + G5 = 65 teams ************************************************************ and of course, the biggest question: " The format aside, the money split alone is causing anxiety in both the ACC and Big 12, with some of the administrators asking a vexing question: “Would the Power Two really leave if we say no?” https://sports.yahoo.com/with-colle...-flux-heres-whats-on-the-table-171119343.html
Starting at around 6th grade my daughter's club coaches had to include the parents in any contact with the player away from the team environment. Texts/emails/etc. It's been interesting that once college recruiting and now her playing there, the coach/parent relationship absolutely disappears. Which in our case has been just fine. My daughter has a good head on her shoulders and we peeped her the the real world. But as you saw with NWSL doesn't matter what level they are in, shit happens!
My daughter has never played for a Female head coach. Each case is different, but I wonder how that would have gone. Our only negative coaching situation in all her years was with a female assistant. That sucked. Luckily the head coach loved her.
