One of those situations that looked good on paper but not on the court. She was an excellent assistant coach but failed when put on top of the mountain. I suspect someone will pick her up as an assistant again. And that's where she can be her best. There were several HS & JC tournaments where she & I had conversations while games were being played. She truly has a lot of insight to WBB. I wish her well.UCF is looking for a new coach. I'm surprised they waited this long to fire her.

On pg 68 read that as total operating expenses. On pg 38 is Total operating revenue was $1,312,282. So a total loss of -$4,575,995
I see the four #1 seeds all made the Final Four. The average margin of victory in the elite eight games was 23 points. Parity!
This is an interesting read. The price of success is far higher than most schools can even imagine.

Why do UConn women’s and men’s 2026 Final Four teams stand out financially? They invest — The Athletic
The University of Connecticut is the only FBS school in the country that spends more money on its basketball programs than on its football team, and it’s not close.

Regionally, Gophers had nine of their returning roster announce they are staying since yesterday. One bench player transfering out. One gal quit before the season started so not counting her. Three open spots for portal signings. They do need a post. Will be up to Coach Plitzuweit if she wants to make a run at Crooks.
Geno is an arrogant pr*ck. Some reports are that he was whining that she didn't shake his hand pre-game. She said she shook all of the UConn coaches' hands pre-game. Honestly I think this is just Geno being a dooshbag sore loser who figured this tourney was just a coronation for his UConn team.
