How in the hell has our women's basketball team won a game with

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Four of the starters only standing 5 foot six? I finally got a chance to watch them today and I can't believe that they have a winning record overall and a 500 record in the SEC with all the changes I've been through and the fact they only have seven players?

We got a couple of really good players on this team if we could get some players to go with them next year and a coach we could have another winning women's team. I'm not talking about national championship team right away but at least be back up in the top half of the SEC.

The program should get a nice lift next season by just getting back the players sitting at the end of the bench every game: the two Carter's, the 3rd Hayes sister, Mia Moore and the Michigan State transfer. I believe Thompson and Farley are the only ones exhausting their eligibility this season.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

That sounds great! This is first time I got to watch them play but they definitely could use a couple of forwards or a good center.

Already got a coach. We need to keep him permanently.

They may not win this game just because of depth but they play incredibly hard. Lots of hustle plays.

I'm proud of the way they have dealt with the adversity and defections from the players and losing their coach due to health reasons right at the beginning of the season. They are playing so hard the men's disaster should take notes on how to play team ball and trust and rely on your teammates

They aren't going to get any post season awards just for playing hard and sticking together with only 7 players but they should.

I’m sure Cohen will outsmart everyone.

 

[Mr. Cook]

I’m sure Cohen will outsmart everyone.

"Out-flanked?"

 

[Phil Wenneck.sixpack]

We have a coach now. Unfortunately it makes too much sense to keep him.

Rosie claims there’s concern over Novak not having recruiting connections. Obviously that’s the most water toting quote you’ll ever hear but regardless, if true then Cohen needs to be relieved of his duties immediately.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

I mean that’s a valid concern.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

We 17ing get it for 3,000th time.

He doesn’t. And he’s not a women’s coach. Giving him the job is the equivalent of the MSU way of fans wanting to give every coach a lifetime job.

Commend him for a job well done and make a real hire.

 

[Phil Wenneck.sixpack]

You have to be able to coach what you recruit.

Have you been asleep the past 7 years and missed Howland's teachings?

 

[Phil Wenneck.sixpack]

Ok fair enough. Now provide some names that will do better. Real names detailing specific strengths. And you might want to consider we're not UCONN. No sitting coach will make a lateral move to come here.

 

[Joe Schmedlap]

Howland has been asleep for a couple of straight years himself.

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

In basketball you win with guards. Novaks dribble drive is a great offense for this team.

Not my job hoss. Just like it’s not your job to hand the job to someone.

 

[paindonthurt]

So if Cohen hires Novak, shut the F up.

 

[bully12]

Commend him for a job well done - and give him a 3-year contract. Who said anything about giving him, or anybody, a lifetime contract? That's what Aubies do. And who said the man is not a women's coach? He sure has convinced me otherwise, hoss.

He is a women's coach right now and doing a darn good job. Pretty obvious if you just give him some basketball players he can coach them. Quite a contrast to what is going on with our men's team.

 

[DAWGS1.sixpack]

I’ll admit when I’m wrong. And I was.
Cohen is the reason Vic Shaffer isn’t the women’s basketball coach at Mississippi State right now!
I’ll leave it at that at this point.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Everyone that says this never backs up what they’re saying.

He’s playing 6 players and winning because he’s damn good with Xs and Os. Does he really need immediate recruiting connections?

 

[DAWG61]

We haven't beaten Bama in football in 15 years and y'all wanna spend north of $3 mill a year on women's shotty hoops and when we don't you blame Cohen. All while we currently are baseball national champs. Wth

 

[patdog]

If the rumors are true (and I think they probably are), Cohen did the right thing. He had no choice.

I'm personally fine to spend conservatively on WBB to put more towards football. Its one of the reasons I am good with keeping Novak since he has proved he can coach and would not require a big salary. However, we could totally scrap the WBB program and it still wouldn't make a dent in beating Bama as long as Saban is there. Not a lot of correlation there.

 

[horshack.sixpack]

Is there a word with more message board tough guy bluster than "hoss"? I can't think of one.

 

[SaintsDoc]

Would look at Marquette's coach- Megan Duff. Young up and coming star coach

 

[DAWGS1.sixpack]

Everyone that says this never backs up what they’re saying.

I’m paraphrasing but ..Cohen told Vic he needed to take care of certain perceived issue within the team.
Vic told Cohen he needed to take care of his own issues.
Pissed Vic off so he bolted rather quickly.
Even tho there are a few on here who know the story, I won’t go into any further detail.

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

Coach has done a good job with cards given. That I admire. If he can recruit or hire someone to recruit they should be in good hands.

No. At least I hope not. The cringe with “hoss” is bad enough.
