I guess I might as well chime in as a long time women's basketball fan who follows the men's team a bit also.  IMO there is zero reason to compare anything that Dawkins has done with what Tara has done.  Women have a bad end of game against ASU does not equal the men struggling at the end of games multiple times a year in recent years.  The past two seasons for WBB have been down years compared to the strong of Final Fours but there is just no comparison with the men's results.  Last year's down year was 26-10, a Pac-12 tourney title, and a S16 NCAA finish.  The team was ranked all year.  This season, another with less talent than the F4 years, is now ranked in the top 15 at 22-6.  I nitpick the Tara's coaching plenty but trying to compare her coaching with what's going on with the men just seems a waste of time to me.
