I'm not sure what thread this comment belongs in, but I'll put it here because it seems to fit here best, rather than starting a thread of its own. At any rate, there's an interesting article in today's "The Athletic." It's behind a paywall, but if you get the digital NYT, you can access it.
Article is "Who's the Best X's and O's Coaches in Women's College Basketball" -- results of an anonymous poll of more than 30 WBB coaches taken over the past month or so. Results as follows:
Tara 11; Geno 4; Jeff Walz (Louisville) 4; Bill Fenelly (Iowa State) 2; Karl Svesko (Florida Gulf Coast) 2; then there's a list of those getting 1 votes that includes among others Brenda Frese (Maryland), Kelly Graves (Oregon), Lynn Roberts (Utah), and Dawn Staley. The Pac-12 is the only conference that has 3 coaches getting votes in this poll.
Following the poll numbers, the article discusses each of these coaches, with most ink given to Tara, discussing how adaptable she has been over the years and how well she adapts to the strengths of her players.
Second part of article is about "Who's the next big time coach" -- and at the top is Lindy LaRocque with 5 votes, followed by two coaches with 3 votes.
