I like Joe A and hear he is a very good fund raiser and money guy, keeping Verge and Herb (both A+++ guys) is great, but this winning thing is a real issue, mb is on hot seat, now wbb, which went to 5 FF in a row! 12 NCAA's in a row and was 3rd most attended sport 3 years ago (out sold mb) now lost 5 in a row and is likley to miss ncaa's for 2nd time in 15 years..all with a new coach who inherited a top 10 recruit and 8 of top 9 players from last year....she is also being paid 900k+ and is very pregant...I admit, my view of JA is falling, now both bb teams are in big danger of falling into bottom half of sec again...not acceptbable at all..two hires, two so far misses in bb

14-8, 4-5 in the SEC. Started out 4-0 in the conference. Lost the point guard to an ACL. That has been the disaster. At one point in the game last night, they had more turnovers than attempted shots.

100% fair point on pregnant and 1/2 season (although its more like 2/3rds). Look I am a long team wbb.mb season ticket holder, I like NC, but no way this team should be 4-5 in sec and 14-8 with losses to Tulane (onkly ever beat us 4 times in 30 years) and Nwestern, UF twice etc. I give her at least 3 years, but so far, this is C- at best.
As for pregnant, OF COURSE she can have kids, but the timing of this one is not great and does anyone think this has NO impact on her coaching? 900k and first year at LSU and is giving berth in late March? I'm sorry, the timing stinks for LSU, but of course I know BB is WAY less important... pregnant or not, the season is awful so far

Van Chancellor did a shitty job here and this is the resulting mess.

Well we know she wouldn't ruin such a great basketball season by getting pregnant like a stupid woman.

Van left her a ton of talent and saved the biggest scandal in WBB history from destroying us..I admit it was time for him to go and I liked her hire, but so far she has done a poor job and the pg was lost only 3 games ago and we had 8/9 of top players back and the #9 recruit in country coming in...so not sure how anyone thinks she has done a good job so far...

I don't care one way or another but I don't think Van left the cupboard stacked.

1) I doubt it was the biggest scandal ever in WBB history

2) I'd say it basically destroyed the program. went from 5 final 4's in a row to missing the NCAA twice in a row.

We need another wbb coach that is a superior coach on the court and in the bedroom.

Heck. One half of a game is enough to judge a coach on for some people around here.

Seems like it would be a little difficult to assess a new coach in less than a season. Fans and supporters at Duke asked the AD to fire Coach K after his first 2 seasons. Good thing the AD gave his coach a chance.

Don't think that's what was meant. Maybe its a distraction. She could relinquish the coaching to her assistants until after she has the baby. Just a thought.
