I will no longer go to games.   The team Kate coached was unwatchable most of the time, and I blame Kate for that.   With so many top recruits, we should have been so much better.  I have emailed the AD.  Others should too.

I got a response from my email sent. They are being read by the higher ups.  Hopefully WBB leadership change is coming soon.

I believe some focus upon the root causes for Stanford transfers (as opposed to the national issues of NIL, one-year transfers, rule violations and such) is still of value, at least for those of us whose interest remains at some level.  Heck, the first time I was exposed to Stanford Women's Basketball was in the 1966-67 season when my friend and I were students there and would go early to watch the women play before the men's game.  I also believe looking for the root causes may glean some detailed information valuable for future decisions.

I discovered the following while looking at what the five portal transfers (at this writing) have in common.
Of the five, four have at least one thing in common -- they all have been in the program one or two years, only under the current (as of this writing) coaching staff.  (The fifth, Agara, is to me a special case in that she expects to graduate before next season.) This fact falls in line with the well-voiced opinion, with which I have agreed for quite some time, that it's best for Coach Paye to go.

A more interesting example is that all five transfers are 6' 2" or 6'3".  Bizarre maybe, but not particularly useful in itself.  What could be useful is how this fact translates into position played.  By my count we have no guards transferring, one 3 (Amborn), and the rest posts. (I'm not completely sure about Peterson's position because, as far as I can tell, she has never played when a game was in doubt.)  This fact leads to some questions.  Which assistant coach(es) primarily teach the guards?  Which primarily teach the posts?  Are the assistant coach(es) who teach the guards better than those who teach the posts?  If so, why?  Is it because those assistants relate better to the players?  If so, why?  Is it because those assistants have more time to devote to teaching.  If so, why?  Etc.

So, if I were the AD, I'd like to learn as much as possible from those in the transfer portal to help learn in some depth about all the coaches and other common reasons for transferring beyond just that.
















Does any of these ideas relate to our use of the Princeton offense?  Or not?  

So if we
