Good decision on your part and I thought KL showed a lot of heart decent amount of talent for a first year player.

massive tool
All sound and fury....in the end signifying NOTHING! Its just women's basketball. Call me when half the team can dunk.
Someone woke up with a hangover today
There was never a dislike button.
Women's basketball is a great sport! Have you watched it and how it has evolved over the last 40 years? I have and I enjoy it.

...my apologies... "Negative Rep" or whatever it exactly was. Hopefully that clears up the obvious confusion.
Disluke.
RWAG is CU Women's BB's version of AZ and crew, an amazing amount of negativity comes out of that keyboard. As one who is known for long post I can't even come close.
Biggest mistake in watching the women play basketball is to try to compare it with the men's game. Yes the principles and rules of the game are basically the same but how the game is played makes it a completely different game. I'm not a big fan but I do enjoy watching it for the strategy elements. Much of the men's game is trying to create physical mismatches to exploit. The women't game to my eye is much more about creating open shots for players through passing and movement.
The athleticism of the women has advanced a great deal over the years so the game looks to be much faster than it was and the skill level looks to be higher but it hasn't lost that focus on team fundamentals.
I am a little frustrated that there aren't more women getting opportunities to coach top level women's basketball.

I think that the women deserve to have the best coach available regardless of gender and it is hard to argue with the success of coaches like Geno (can't spell the last name) at UConn. At the same time we have had title IX for over 25 years now. There have been thousands of highly intelligent, motivated, and capable women who love the game play at the various levels of women's basketball. I find it hard to believe that there aren't more of them who aren't qualified and deserving of a shot at becoming head coaches.
Exactly. I suspect that the ratio of the average player's hand size to ball size is about the same for women and for men.
Then switch out the rims for the ladies. Haha.
Well, there's been some discussion on here about South Dakota State coach Aaron Johnston's ability to recruit and coach at a high enough level to be considered as a P5 WBB coach. Right now, in the women's NCAA, SDSU, a 12 seed, is leading Miami, a 5 seed, by a score of 59 to 48 with 8:00 to go in the game.
Update .... I didn't jinx them. SDSU wins 74 -71. Had SDSU made their free throws in the final minute at the same rate they made them in the rest of the game, the final score would not have been that close.

Maybe CU is going after him. I was impressed with that showing!
On one of these threads, somebody said Arielle Roberson was nothing more than a role player at West Virginia. I was looking on the WVU website yesterday and found out that she was named Honorable Mention All Big 12. I'd say she is more than a role player to get that kind of recognition.

Her numbers are down a little, but she starts and is in the 2nd round of the tourney, so. .. who's to argue with that. Personally, I'm bitter, but good for her
I'm surprised @liverflukes hasn't wandered in here.
Probably more upset about what might have been. No Wallace. Bird sick and then missing half the game with back spasms. Brown getting into early foul trouble. Cal had Final Four type talent this season and significantly under-performed.
This is like that time Jordan Gherke's dad got on here and tried for it not to be patently obvious who he was - wonder which players dad RWAG is?
I was never bitter. Players look out for themselves. She spent two of her four years at CU red shirting due to injuries. She found herself an opportunity and made something of it. Whose to argue with that? She would not have been in the 2nd round of the NCAA tourney had she stayed at CU.
Latest on South Dakota State ... with 2 minutes to go in third quarter, SDSU leads Stanford by 5. Game is at Stanford.
Update: Stanford pulled it out, winning 66-65 on an "and 1" with about 8 seconds to go in the game then a block of the SDSU shot.
I think Aaron Johnston can coach.

Reading up on her:
I like the fact that Pebley (pronounced Pee-blee) has been a D1 HC for 13 years, the last 2 seasons at the Big 6 conference level. I like that pretty much her entire career has been within the CU recruiting footprint (Utah State, Fresno State & TCU as a HC with a few years before that as a CSU assistant). I like that her recruiting was taking off at TCU (4 ESPNW Top 100 players in the 2016 class, including a two 5* guards). I like that she played a couple seasons in the WNBA. I like that she has won at all her stops and has an upward career trajectory. I like that she is connected to the CU program as a top player during a very successful time in the program (3 conference titles and 4 NCAAT appearances while she was a CU player).
Thursday night at 7pm MT is the next game in the WNIT for TCU, 3rd round against an excellent UTEP squad that probably should have been in the NCAAT.
Nice research Nik. I too like the growth progression and successes at every stop that she has had in her coaching career. Her first HC stint, at Utah State, was starting a program from scratch. Not an easy task.
Only thing I noticed is that most of her verbals to that strong 2016 recruiting class at TCU are players from Texas. Would she be able to recruit Texas players to Colorado when there isn't the same opportunities to play in front of family and friends? The state of Colorado isn't anywhere close to the state of Texas in the number of good in-state players available.
