you can do what ever with these players, but the real problem is their just not that good right now. And I'm not sure they ever will be. If you can't shoot better than we are right now you won't beat many teams. And if you can't rebound and play defense you won't beat many teams.
It's fine to do all of the community service, academic work and just make it to the tournament, but those should be GIVENS! Ain't nothing special about that. That's like paying your kids to do chores around the house! That's expected. The key is grasping success...2002...building on it and taking it to the next level. The next level for OU was a NC. We've missed that opportunity...unless a miracle on Jenkins street takes place!
Your hatred is flowing.
:clap
It's crazy to think it's been 12 years since that magical season began. I wonder if the recruits these days even remember watching that team. They would've been like 5 or younger, so they probably don't. To kids these days, that's like 100 years ago.
Here is my thought. I like having a positive approach to things. Sherri said we don't know who we are. Think of the loses as growing. Finding who we are. When you lose leaders like Whitney and Jo it is hard to find someone to step up. You have to think about how young this team is. 6 new comers plus Maddie and Kornet being super young. This might just be an off year and a way of growing for the youngsters. We may not win the conference or a national championship but the sooner the underclassmen figure their roles out the better off this team is going to be. You I realize going to NYC and LA are nice and may "lose focus" but if you don't allow them to have fun they are not going to enjoy the little things of the game. Giving Sherri the benefit here she is doing what she can. You can say Sherri is doing bad at her job but until you have been there in her shoes you have no room to talk. I respect Sherri too much to have people say she is not doing her job well.
If Sherri Coale weren't at least ten times as competent as you seem to think, there would be no board on which to post your hatred of Sherri Coale.
If it hadn't been for Sherri Coale, OU would have a mundane basketball program, if we had one at all. Your memories are short, and your wisdom shorter.
If it hadn't been for Sherri Coale, nobody would have enough interest to post on a board about OU women's basketball. How many schools in this area have solid boards for women? How is KU's board, or KS's? Tell me about OSU's board. Tech and Baylor have boards, for now. I understand that Tech's is waning a bit. The Cyclones have a board, but apparently not with the same interest. Nebraska's board was weak, as was the Buff board. This is probably the strongest board in the Big Twelve. Yet, it wouldn't have developed had it not been for Sherri Coale. Not only would this board not be here to complain on, you would never have had enough interest to show up and complain.
Why aren't you king? Well, because you didn't grow up in the royal family of a monarchy for one thing. Why isn't John Lennon king? He was probably as popular as any person in England. He wasn't born into it. We all have circumstances that define the possibilities. Look around at OU. Tell me the name of a coach who you think would have done what Sherri has done. Why?
If you have no perspective, your thought can be pretty much ignored.
There isn't even a demand for a national title in football at OU any more.
Coale is doing more with less than anyone since those who made the run.
Who have you heard that is willing to terminate Stoops over not delivering with the signature program at OU for thirteen years?I don't understand that comment. Who have you heard say they don't expect another national title?
That's the problem...if recruiting was better, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
Who have you heard that is willing to terminate Stoops over not delivering with the signature program at OU for thirteen years?
The point is that recruiting is good, for our circumstances.
