Playing at Alabama at 6:00.
Apparently missing several players - probably not a good outcome (I've not watched any games this year so not familiar with the team).
the response here or lack thereof says it all.......
Yeah, I think you're right. A couple of years ago everybody would have been watching.Quote:

Instead of making money like in the last few years, the WBB program is bleeding. More like hemorrhaging.
We're actually leading the game at the moment 28-26.
Women's basketball has NEVER EVER made money. Never event come close. It's a money pit!!Quote:

Really good win. This is the kind of game that gets you off the bubble and into the bracket on Selection Sunday.
They played really well, in Tuscaloosa, and down about 5 players (with a couple of them being normal starters, I think).Quote:

Very good X and O coach and just got a commitment from Michigan state transfer 4 star gaurd Alyza Winston who averaged 12 points per game and 3 assist this year. Also kept 4 star Debreasha Powe committed.. in a recent interview he said even though he is unsure of his coaching status next year he is still recruiting for the program and sells the program to recruits. I actually think he is a good coach and has a shotQuote:

We won this short handed also, Rickea Jackson and Ashley Jones were both out... Jamaya Mingo-Young plays for Bama also... one of Vic's former players from State So it was nice beating her tonight too
He seems like a good floor coach, seems to motivate well, seems to know the X's & O's. The BIG question is can he recruit at this level? He's never coached women's BB before, does he even have ANY connections with high school coaches? Right now, the program is in limbo; Novak doesn't know whether to take a crap or wind his watch. And neither do potential recruits. It's gonna be a tough call for Cohen at the end of the season. More than likely he'll screw it up like he did when Vic left and with the last hire.Quote:

In his interviews he sounds like he wants itQuote:

Fast fwd to about the 7:12 mark... he talks about how is currently recruiting and how special it is at State. This was yesterday
Great gut check win tonight. Outstanding game plan and execution with a depleted roster. Most impressive to me is how Coach Novak kept the team steady throughout the game.
There has to be more to the story to Novak being brought in out of nowhere months before she resigned - somebody has to know more. Regardless, I'm glad - we are getting back to what made us special.
Nikki hired him as Associate head coach. She then got sick and had to step down.... he is currently the Interim and doing a good job. There's really nothing more to it.Quote:

I actually watched some of the game, Not sure why, and yeah that’s a good win with all the players that we have it. They did play hard that’s for sure..
But it also reminded me of why I don’t watch women’s basketball.. it wasn’t a very good product..
The Vic days are long gone
