Novac has earned the WBB job

[PGHBulldogBG]

I have not had a chance to watch any of our WBB games this year, but the record and results based on the situation are pleasing. Hopefully he can build off that win last night and have us at a respectable record come the end of the year

[StarkVegasSteve]

Been very impressed just listening to the guy. He seems like he has a good grasp of the team and judging by results it looks like they respond well to him.

[ZedFedder]

If he can recruit, I think he can coach.

Played without Rikki---then Taylor got hurt and played on a gimpy leg--great win and great job Coaching

NMP is a clear bust in hindsight, but I don't fault Cohen for it. Even coming close to replacing Vic was a practically impossible ask. He was one of a tiny handful of elite coaches in the sport, and the gap to the next tier is massive. There doesn't seem to be much due diligence you can do beyond taking a shot at a disciple of one of those elites, which Cohen did. I don't know how much of her propensity for political expression was known prior to her hire, but regardless I highly doubt it would have mattered if she'd been a better coach. Bottom line is we were fortunate to have our run and it was always very unlikely to be sustainable after Vic no matter who we hired.

Her politics had absolutely nothing to do with her coaching. She was in over her head and it showed. Just like Cohen?s politics have nothing to do with him being a crappy AD. He is in over his head and he continually shows it.

Her biggest problem was she tried being friends with players, she should have used better judgement and instead of being best friend!

Why did this thread turn into a thread about Nikki and politics? I wish politics would stay out of sports no matter what side you are for. This is about Novak and what his potential is going forward and from what I've seen and listened to the man is really good at X's and O's. He also has two committments from 4 star recruits. The man is also well respected in the coaching community. Here is what Pat Summitt said about him years ago.

“Our staff spent two days at Anderson University watching Doug’s team practice. I always
learned so much watching him put concepts together. We were a better team because of the time
we spent watching Coach Novak’s practices.” —Pat Summitt, Former Head Coach, University of
Tennessee"

He has alot of experience, even at lower levels he has gained respect with his schemes and knowledge. I like him and hope we keep him.... here are other compliments on Coach Novak:

Same handful do it whenever they can.

He just got a committment from former 4 star guard Alyza Wilson who averaged 12 pts and 3 rebs a game for Michigan State. Very crafty and quick offensive player:

Get a hot Redhead or Blonde either on the staff or on the team and more would pay attention.

And THAT'S Woke. It was just a humor jab; not Ignorance; no biggie man.

Only watched one game - but he seemed to have the players on the same page, working together, and having good attitudes. All of that is an improvement, so give him a chance.

Who cares? It's girl's basketball. Hire Sarah Silverman and let her tell jokes at halftime or hire Joy Reid now that she is being fired from MSDNC

"Woke" is a word that doesn't actually mean anything by itself, it's just a stand-in for a generic insult when one is needed.
