Wasn’t Pokey poking the girls on the team and that is why she is no longer coaching?

We can't afford to fire Caldwell, besides what we owe her we'd have to pay the next coach

You're going to have to do that anyway. She only has a year left on her contract so it's not that big a bullet to bite. I'd guess she would be working on contract extension right now anyway so it might just comes down to whether Alleva plays hardball.

Alleva(if he's still around to do it) is weird at hiring coaches. Sometimes he swings for the fences and sometimes he punts. Goestenkors left Duke because Alleva wouldn't pay her but she's available now. If they don't still have bad beef she's an easy simple hire for him that wouldn't cost more.

She poked a "former player" at the time not anyone on the team at the time she did it

One of the assistants told the AD, but there was a backstory on that part.

It's not good but if it's a former manager nobody at LSU can still be controlling their Twitter behavior.

There has to really be some serious mess going on. Why would the leading scorer who is going to be a senior just finish it out this year and head off to the WNBA? She would rather transfer for the 2nd time and sit out another year to play 1 more year somewhere else? Why not go at least get paid in Europe?

Edit...maybe she is graduating and is immediately eligible to play?

I thought the Kentucky women turned its program around agter they hired I think his name is Mitchell. Well he digressed a little and has to compete with the men. So I wonder if he would be a fit here? Although Kentucky loves their BB so it would probably useless to try.

WHats the rumors about the asst coach and the star player leaving? Surely someone knows something and there are always rumors...

I don’t pay any attention to WBB so I didn’t even know the coach sucks. I thought she was highly regarded. Don’t we pay her a lot compared to other WBB coaches???

Hire Hugh Freeze to replace O.

Make Freeze give his phone to Pokey.

Both problems solved.

What you thinking? a coaching move is being made? Or possible recruiting violations?

Would be off to have that many transfers in basketball and nothing going on other than, we just want to play somewhere else.

The fact that the two junior transfers who are about to be seniors jump and want to transfer its extremely odd

But the timing wasn't far behind Demoss "retiring"

Either Nikki will be let go, the NCAA is in town or Nikki is a straight up bitch that ran the entire town out

Most logical to me is the first option, only one year left on her contract so it won't hurt us that much

We definitely weren't cheating, I don't know how that would be possible

She is probably told to start looking and LSU is prob looking around too.

Only that makes sense to me

Can we contract out Eddie Nunez to hire this basketball coach too? Don't want to end up with another Nikki Caldwell/Johnny Jones/Trent Johnson
