Unfortunately, I know of at least seven people who won’t be at the games cheering loudly next season:

Amborn
Clardy
Agara
Peterson
Ogden
Somfai
and Stevenson

Maybe I’m wrong, but I’m thinking that they didn’t consider this a particularly “fun” season…

It appears, as many of you have stated, that there will not be a change of leadership.  I am saddened by what has (and hasn't) occurred in the last 2 months, but I can't begin to feel how hurt and betrayed all of you must feel, being the long-time incredibly loyal Stanford WBB fans that you are.

From my vantage point, Mr. Donahoe made several critical leadership mistakes including: 1) He did not realize just how badly the program (and the Stanford WBB brand) had fallen in 2 years and did not react decisively in firing KP immediately after the embarrassing loss to BYU; forming a search committee and bringing on board a highly qualified and experienced coach to rebuild the program in quick order. 2) He has shown no sense of urgency in addressing the mass transfers.  If the last 2 sub-par seasons were not enough to fire the coach, then the transfers should have been, 3) Throughout these critical 2 months, he has shown zero transparency in addressing the crisis and explaining what he planned to do- to the Stanford community and 4) He's broken your trust. 

To me, another season with KP at the helm seems beyond painful.  I have loved watching your exceptionally great program under TVD and will miss it.
