Caldwell is a Good Coach/She Must Recruit

quote:

It remains to be seen if she can recruit at a high level.

No, she can't. It doesn't remain to be seen. She's doing it with less than elite talent because she isnt recruiting elite talent.

She has credentials from a basketball standpoint and is a likable person but it all boils down to recruiting. I don't want her fired but she needs to step it up. She is getting paid to do what Beth Torina is doing.

Van Chancellor left herwith 7All Americans!

Van Chancellor ran a sterling program at Ole Miss!!

Van Chancellor led 5 teams to the WNBA Championships.

Van Chancellor got old.

Skip hired him so he did not accidently hire someone lickety split.

Van was dismissed by Goldbricka Aleva, and it was done clumsily.

Aleva had no plan but to throw money at Caldwell.

Caldwell has not recruited to compete for championsips.

So what if you can coach but do not have talent to challenge for serious championships, SEC and National? What is your criterion for "She can coach!!" There ae 50 HS coaches, coaching girls, who could outrecruit and outwork Caldwell, and coach as well if NOT BETTER.

Imagine if Caldwell would work year round, for crying out loud she is getting a milllion per year and about 5 times what Pokey made and almost three times Van Elvis Chancellor made too.

Don't give me no Caldwell BS.....she does dress well and is much better looking than Pokey and Van, rolled in a rolypoly, lickety split.

I honestly think her results have been good. If she could somehow get an athletic big person that can make an immediate impact next year, we could actually have a pretty good team. I agree with her go with speed approach now that the women have to get over the line in ten seconds. I did not enjoy the slow teams that Chancellor put on the floor, but I guess that was his philosophy. You also have to understand that the game has changed in the SEC. Most of the SEC teams are now very good; that was not the case until recently. In the past Tennessee, LSU, Ole Miss, Vandy, and maybe Georgia had outstanding programs; some of the other teams were laughable.

How crappy must Van have been to not make the tourney with "7 All-Americans" on the roster?

This idiot has come out of hiding. For the last two months there has been many threads about the team's wins and he was nowhere to be found. As soon as someone create a negative post, here he is.

It seems to me that part of the "recruiting problem" is that Louisiana hasn't really produced many really good recruits for some time. I know Brown is highly rated, but the Tech connection ruled her out. I know there is a girl in Rayville who is supposed to be good, and Caldwell needs to go out and get her. It is harder to get players from out of state, because the women's game has grown in popularity and more schools try to field good programs.

Kalini Brown is terrible, she wouldn't help this program.

Its pretty simple, they see the salary and expect results based on that. They aren't mistaken, this school has proven it can support a successful WCBB team for an extended time period. Recruiting has to improve to get LSU past the Sweet 16.
