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

 That's it. The "omg politics" knock on her is a joke.

 Devil's advocate response on my part. But right or wrong, we know those who hold it against her mean more than strictly reference to activities of elected government when they say "politics." Regardless, the point is few would have truly cared about any of it if she'd been successful as a coach here.

							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:

							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:

 No need to get your panties in a wad.
 
 I've lost interest. I used to never miss a game. I can't tell you when our next game is or who it's against.
 
 It's nothing personal.

 Yep. I, like most people, don't give a monky's nutsack what happens to WBB. I hope they do well for the players and their families because it is important to them, but that is about as far as it goes.

 It's reality with most fans.  I mean I watched a couple of MSU vs SC games and the Natl Championship game.  That's about it for our 3-4 year elite run.  I would feel the same with softball or M/W golf.  But that's just me.

							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.
