"Really? An anti-UConn bias. Who did Anne win a National Championship with?"... unless I missed something, there was no UConn tie to her NC in college, was there?...
"Just curious if you ever met her since you call her mean and nasty. She happens to be one of the nicest coaches I've ever met..." Maybe, but have you ever played BB for her? OK, these are not college kids any more, they are human, they are allowed to have flaws... but given their pedigree, you would wonder how she managed to bring out the bad side of players who a) played for and dealt with a coach as tough and demanding as Geno, and b) did it with more grace than most atheletes today. And you are welcome to present evidence to the contrary, but the players still seemed to handle this better than Anne did, or at least that's how it looks publicly. She should have just said "thanks but we are moving in a different direction," and left it at that. I'm thinking that if that was how she handled THAT situation, she won't have that little extra needed to nudge a team like the Sun to the championship. In any event, she certainly did not come across as "one of the nicest coaches."
And how years is fair to give her? Any number of teams can claim injuries, young players, etc etc, in any given year. Coach T got 10 years try to win a championship. Surely, you should get less if you cannot even get into the playoffs... and of course, she was not brought in to simply make the playoffs.
But the season is young...
