Something interesting

[BigTime]

You may be right that they may not wish to comment on this subject but if anyone is likely to know the truth, they do.

I didn't make it up if that is what you are implying. No reason for the current DII coach in Arkansas to lie to my friend who he has coached with him in the past.

I doubt SS or iE have any clue. Why would they know? I doubt it is talked about outside of coaches who know.

My buddy was asking about shoe money sponsorships in the girls game and that was how it came out.

But keep linking the rule book and telling us that Buddy Hield wouldn't be recruited by Coach Coale, master of the women's board.

Norm was using Buddy as an example... The example I used was Cousin who plays with a toughness that Sherri might not have went for (always ready to fight)... Personally I like what cousin brings to the team and program.

She's a piece alright!

She yelled at security last night to go get someone down past end of the bench in the fourth quarter. I'm sure she was distracted. Security guy went down there and he wasn't there a minute and came back so I'm sure there was nothing to it but she wanted to scare someone to not yell anymore.

I would say Mulkey is a piece of human excrement, but, that would be uncomplimentary to the excrement.

It will be interesting to see what skilledserv and/or ielle have to say on this topic.

What connection to Texas basketball do they have? I'm new to the board. Are they club, HS or college coaches? Are we talking about Texas United or Adidas? Why can't the OP identify the club?

They both are very knowledgeable about high school basketball players, high school coaches, AAU players, AAU coaches, college coaches, etc., particularly in Texas. There are a few well known AAU programs in Texas but I'm not sure which club was referenced in the earlier post.

I'm surprised many of you were unaware of the scumbag nature of the" club" part of WBB. It is a nasty mess. Assuming the two mentioned are part of that cesspool, why would they even consider admitting to it though. Why would they? They have many of you fooled into treating them like "experts".

It is obvious they got on here with an agenda. It is no accident they post things to discredit Nancy. It started that way, it continued that way. And it is that way now. Now why would anyone do that?

SMH...and what are you for having such hate about someone whose shoes you haven't walked and couldn't walk........not possible

Seriously, this board is more about hate and then getting all teary-eyed and proud about common day things like the staff supporting TK and his sister through cancer. DO you people actually live in the real world? WHAT group of people who work together do not support their co-workers and friends through these things. It is not some "uncommon spirit."

Anyone who has paid attention knows that recruiting in the men's game is a cess pool and much of what makes it that way is the AAU coaches and 'handlers'. I think some people thought, or hoped, that the women's AAU wasn't as bad as the men's AAU.

Well, I just saw Sherri on TV blaming the players. She has always done that and she is back at it again. For a coach, there is nothing as sorry as that. I would trade her for Mulkey in a heartbeat.

Here is my analysis in the BU game.

1. We came out unprepared mentally to play. Perhaps because we had just played several hundred miles away less than 48 hours before. But whatever the reason we were not ready to compete.

2. Baylor is a pretty good - but not a great team. They are but a shadow of what they were with Griner.

3. That allowed us to make a prodigious comeback from 20 points down. You simply cannot do that against a great team. For example, UConn never lets that happen. But BU is not in the same universe as UConn.

4. Unfortunately, as is so often the case we had used up too much energy in the comeback, and did not have enough "gas in the tank" to keep it up.

5. Thus ...... we lost.

I was impressed about a couple of things. KK at one point played with a toughness I have seldom seen out of her. She refused to give up - or to give in. I loved that part of the game. You may recall one moment when she grabbed a rebound, shot but missed, went up and tore the rebound out of a BU player's hands, shot - and although fouled hard made the bucket - and the resulting free-throw. Once she started to play and dominated, the officials called two quick fouls on KK to get her out of the game. But I absolutely loved the spirit and will KK displayed. It is not possible to play with that intensity an entire game, but she turned around BU's momentum. We really needed the others to step up at that point.

I thought Peyton played better than she has in a while. BU was ineffective at controlling her - although as has been the case all year, her shots were off. Not due to any special defensive prowess, but just because she has lost her confidence and shooting touch. I doubt she gets that back this year.

At what point are players supposed to take responsibility for their own performance?

99% of the time coaches blame themselves even when the player is the one at fault.

I don't fault players if they just aren't as tall, as fast or as strong as their opponent. If the effort is what it should be, I don't fault players for making bad mistakes.

If a team plays man to man defense when the entire world knows that an opponent can't play against a zone worth a flip, that's on a coach.

But players don't come equipped with a switch on the back of their neck for effort. If they did and the coach forgot to flip it on, then it would be all on the coach. But players don't come equipped with that switch. At some point they need to look inside themselves and figure out why they they don't play hard all the time. They need to figure out why they don't focus.

Players are responsible for their performance 100% of the time. A coach going public and blaming the players for performance is appropriate 0% of the time. Sherri does it all the time. It is her go to response for a loss. Well, except when she blames the fans for not showing up. Sherri brought these players in. She is the coach every day. This teams results and performance is on her. Period. Whether you like it or not, I am tired of her mutt talking the players.

I thought Sherri made it very clear that she wasn't going to accept this as a moral victory and that she expected more out of her players. I can't see that as a wrong stance. In fact, most of the Sherri critics on this board have thought she was too soft on her players.

But to get back on the topic of this thread, Kim didn't pay an AAU club coach 10K to do summer camp. She put him on her staff at a much higher salary. Of course she let him go as soon as the players from his club had finished their eligibility at Baylor.

 

[got mulk??]

It's really comical how OU fans just pick apart and ridicule everything Baylor and Kim do. I bet if we were near the bottom of the B12 and not an elite or "tier 1" program that no one would care as much. I guess with success comes haters but that's okay cuz all we do is WIN and next year will be the same if not even better. Unless you can beat us in the paint, you have no chance ZeroU.

Have you ever noticed that there is no hatred towards UConn or Notre Dame? We tend to lose to Iowa State in Ames, but there is only respect. Baylor---we despise. But, then, we're not alone. When you do things that have the national press down on your tactics, you have earned the label of the most despised program in college basketball. Are there really any competitors for #1 in that category?

 

[MsProudSooner]

It's really telling how ALL fans just pick apart and ridicule everything Baylor does. .

FIFY

If you think it's only OU fans, you are sadly mistaken. And it's not just Kim, either.

 

[HandyMan]

I wonder if this is the reason we stopped having the camps.

What is the reason she stopped having summer camps? To me it is a great way to get potential recruits on campus. I've never heard the reason. Are there pros and cons? I would think it would only be a positive.
