Normal disclaimer, if you do not care about women’s sports, fine but we MUST have them, Title IX. If we have them, like any sport we should try and be at least in SEC hunt most years. Given our VERY strong WBB history, facilities there is no excuse for us to be so bad in her year 10.

This Nikki Fargas decision should be easy.

Overall she is 176-128 and only 81-77 in SEC. If you get rid of 1st two years (when she inherited the bulk of the team) she is 61-65 in SEC. and 131-105 overall.

And she has finished, in order in SEC, 4th, 4th, 6th,4th, 13th, 7th, 4th, 8th, 7th, 8th (out of 13, Vandy opted out).

31-61 vs Top 25…31-61….

1 top 100 signees in the past 3 years.

6 seniors on this year’s roster, and we finish 8th at 8-12 and 6-8.

Not past NCAA round 1 in last 7 years, missed tourney 3 of last 5 years eligible (excludes covid)

She makes $700K per year which can be better spent (yes, it’s ok to spend $700 on the next coach) and do much better.

You want other issues- male coach charged with harassing young women at Downton BTR bar in 2014 and he stayed on the staff 2 more years.
Last year a technical foul for not turning in the roster sheet on time.

15 different assistant coaches

I LOVED the hire, but we are way past time...

So Tigeralum saintsfan22, 357, you all know more than me, what am I missing?

What a terrible 10 years! It is a shame because during the Pokey years it was damn near like it was football season! The fans truly got on board! This is freaking pathetic and honestly it's not the players fault, they have gave it their all this year! Lost a bunch of close games to really good teams!

I will say, hats off to them!

She SHOULD be let go, and probably should have been gone years ago but Alleva handed out extensions because he was lazy

I’d cut bait now honestly but I know some will try to justify the current COVID year and social climate as reasons to not right now.

Next year is going to actually be much worse if Pointer isn’t back

Recent thread on this same topic but considering her minority status, it would be extremely tough to replace her.

She's got it in her, I think we simply created a monster by paying her too much when she started. A revenue losing sport and without a really good product on the floor, one with very little interest.

Sue Gunter had them there but it's so difficult to maintain. Pokey could have done it and Van was past his prime...

Bring back Van Chancellor. He at least threw candy to the student section during football games.

Kim isn’t leaving Baylor

Find an up and coming coach. Many of the top established coaches are actually up in age and won’t be around much longer (Geno, Tara, Blair, Moore)

This needs to be a perma-ban. I am so sick of seeing this. It is old and overplayed. It isn't happening. It won't happen. Quit being lazy and actually make a thoughtful post.

How Caldwell has kept her job this long is beyond me. Benefits of staying under the radar.

Jose Fernandez, although he relies on a ton of international players so I don't know if he can recruit with the SEC.

Very good coach, although not sure if he would fit well with LSU/SEC region. USF actually fits him pretty well.

We really need someone who is a strong recruiter (talent has been very down over the years) and someone with a more modern philosophy offensively.
