The troll’s posts are still up. As far as I can tell, their posts didn’t violate any rules, per se. But they were high noise and low signal.
As any loss, there are criticisms that can be leveled against Vanderveer. In a game where we had a decided advantage inside, we seemed to go away from it in the decisive stretch of the fourth quarter where UConn’s lead went from one point to eight. So, someone who criticized Tara for not feeding the ball inside, would be making legitimate criticisms.
On the other hand, someone who merely posits that Vanderveer is a mediocre coach without details on what she did wrong doesn’t add much to the discussion; such a post seems to me to be designed to provoke at a time when the board might be a bit miffed at the outcome. That is what trolls do.
As for Shaw, I think many of those criticisms are over the top. He shouldn’t be above criticism, of course, but too many posts start out with “Shaw is [stubborn, lazy, incompetent, etc.]” and too few start with “Shaw did…”
