Your syntax is not up to your standards. I don't agree with much that you say, about almost every subject. But, I can usually understand your logic.So if OH thinks Joe reportedly has the final say, which we can all hope will be a major step forward and his judgement for OU has been tremendous it is a gender issue? OH never mentioned gender. OH never said anyone was smarter than anyone else. You are the one who brought gender into the discussion when you stated: Why do you always seem to think only a man is smart enough to make decisions? OH instead said: These assistants will be the toughest decision Sherri and Joe have had to make for this program in 20 years. Note OH did mentioned Sherri first with regard to the assistants hiring decision.
No question Joe C. has supported nepotism multiple times in at least 5 sports football, MBB, WBB, Softball and WGYM that I know of and while not against the law is a bad business practice. Especially at a public university.
I don't know what an individual's position on sexism might be. I don't really look at most posts with an identity in mind, especially when they all seemed to be blending together as though written by a single poster and regurgitated, which became an issue about five years ago. But, there has always been a "gender issue."
Nobody ever stopped the men's program, and I can remember when the entire crowd consisted of Diogenes with his lantern searching the field house for a fan. Even after a solid program had been initiated, there was the crowd that insisted that we just had to have another Bo Overton, that Sherri couldn't coach defense, and it had been all Bo. It always seems that people want to ignore the success of a coach who took nothing and went to the Final Four without name players, as though she had no idea how to recruit, coach, or build a team.
About the only thing that I am willing to concede is that she has violated the nepotism issue.
