re: Colorado state thinking of hiring a woman to coach its men’s team

What coach is CSU going to hire with "significant skins on the wall". CSU isn't able to hire someone who gains respect automaticaly.

Well, they were able to hire Larry Eustachy who had taken his 3 prior schools to the NCAAT. Before that, they hired Tim Miles (Nebraska's current HC), a guy who had success at two D-2 schools and lead NDSU to winning records in each of their first 3 years as a D-1 school. Both at least had some sort of record of success.

You seem to imply that players will respect a coach hired from the patriot leauge because he won the leauge once just because he is a male.

Not at all. But his resume would at least show he could win a college D-1 conference as opposed to her resume which consist of being the 7th assistant on the bench of an NBA franchise that had won 5 NBA titles and appeared in 6 NBA Finals BEFORE she arrived (0 since).

What on her resume can she point to to make a potential recruit believe she can get the job done? At least the other coach in your hypothetical could say he won a conference title.
