Just got back from my vacation.
At the event Friday evening at the Omni, Lappe said that she hoped to announce her other assistant coach soon, probably next week. And she said that Swopes was still in the mix.
where did you go valdez
There have been openly lesbian coaches both at CU and in basketball from way back. There have also been openly lesbian players at CU from way back--even during the Rene Portland years--she who wouldn't have a lesbian on her team. Well, she did at CU.
Many of Ceal's problems in her later years had more to do with people recruiting against her and using her sexuality. Supposedly Rick Lopez who coached the Colorado Hoopsters was doing this and sending his kids to Geno. Then it came out that Lopez was actually sexually assaulting his players http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news...44/detail.html Before he came to trial, Lopez committed suicide in prison.
I am sure this has happened at other schools also.
It is alleged that KMM actually had a reputation for not tolerating lesbians on her teams.
I remember that.
WTF?
Really? If so, all the more reason for her to be fired. It's her job to win games, not pass judgement on players' lifestyles. Between this and Hawk's "doing things the right way", we'll be lucky to be relevant in any sport for the next 20 years.
Any word on this yet?
Nope. I did read a blog out of Lubbock that made it sound like Swoopes applied for the job and was among a few candidates being considered. But I've heard the truth is that the job is hers if we can get her to agree to it.
I would be very surprised if that were NOT the case. Someone else woud have to be one heck of a terriffic coach and recruiter to bring more to the AC job than Swoopes would at this point.
Lappe alluded as much at the Omni event; they were waiting to hear back from the candidate.
