I am hearing that Collins was in charge of recruiting the new players and that she now has 10 scholarship slots filled. And those are solid commitments. Don't know if we have any more Basques coming to play here though.

Could this possibly be addition by subtraction? As long as Gilbert stayed, the program would always be associated with last year's controversy.

University's Press ReleaseCould this possibly be addition by subtraction? As long as Gilbert stayed, the program would always be associated with last year's controversy. Certainly, this is an added benefit from Gilbert's departure. Vowels' statements to Tony Paul and the Free Press suggest strongly that her departure resulted from a different HR problem than the one created by the player mutiny last January. They also suggest strongly that this decision came from the university's HR department - not Athletics. Fortunately, Coach Collins does have head coaching experience. She will name her own staff and start afresh with a clean slate. So, I'm going to root for Coach Collins to succeed to the extent that we will want the interim label removed from her coaching position.

I am also going to root for Coach Collins to succeed and become the Coach. I hope she does what I feel is the right thing and keep the members of last years team off of the roster especially M. Moore and Tim Webb. My feelings are divided on the gal that transferred in from Xavier. I think she really improved this last year and was playing her best since arriving. Congratulations Coach Collins and Welcome!

Just my opinion: I think the Titans should remove the interim tag and name Coach Collins head coach. Give her a three year deal; anything shorter makes it even harder to recruit. I am not basing this opinion on last night's action, but on consideration of her background and recognition of the current state of the program. She has excellent experience, including putting together some excellent win/loss records as head coach. She's working hard and already treating the job like it is hers. Heck, she already has a 2022 commit.
Unless there are red flags we don't know about, I say give her the job and let her get to work on building the program.

I just watched the Ladies vs Loyola and I thought they looked a lot better than the final score would indicate. Plenty of hustle and effort. They are much more athletic than we are used to watching. We have a lot of scrappers and they are trying to play fast. A ton of effort around the basket and on D. I think Murra is going to end up being an excellent player. We need to find a shooter and make our FT’s. I was thinking about last years shooters and how they were better shot makers but a lot less athletic. I’m not sure they could ever catch up to this group in order to set up. I am thinking this group is a step up from what we have had. Love the effort!

Just watched Coach Collins presser after Youngstown game. I like what she is doing and saying. I’m on board let’s make her permanent I think she is the one to turn things around. Really nice to see Athletes with athletic ability.. win or lose this is a better group than we have had in quite a while. The effort is there and they are starting to play correctly. It’s a long road back from the hole we were in

It’s a long road back from the hole we were in Here is another unbiased reason to get rid of the interim and get her a contract. This is from the HoriZone Roundtable article previewing all HL teams just a month ago. Bold is mine, not the authors. BTW, yesterday's YSU game was a 2 point game with 2 minutes to go. A couple of questionable calls did not help. There were very few of us there yesterday with the Louisville game on as well as MI and MSU football, but it was a fun game to watch. This team plays hard nosed defense. What are we waiting for?
