Vowels if you are reading this post please take the intern coach title off of Collins and give her a 3 year contract. You can be creative and structure the contract so it favors the U but get that title off of her. It has to be really tough recruiting when your AD shows no confidence in you. Plus your procrastination and decision making hasn’t worked yet. Every single move you have made hasn’t managed to improve anything. I do realize you probably do not check this site or read your emails because that is something someone who cares would do.

UIC is the only Horizon team that we have been able to beat in the last 5 yrs with one exception (Cleveland St).

I do not know if you have had a chance to see this years team but they are a lot better and more fun to watch than anything we have had in the last 4 years. These gals are athletic and are scrappers. Some of the grad students are real me firsters. Collins has her work cut out for her getting them to use #1 more. The more touches she gets the better we will be. The good news is that the three most talented players are freshmen.I really like what I see from Baker also.

The good news is that the three most talented players are freshmen.I really like what I see from Baker also. I don't want to leave the impression that all the grad students are me firsters. Moses had 9 assists playing under the basket today. She may be emerging as the leader they need. Not having her available at the end of regulation and in the overtime really hurt us. It was also encouraging to watch her encouraging freshman Trawally at the end of a timeout after she had fouled out. We were the victims of a very tight refereed game today. Due to foul trouble (We had 30 fouls and there were 51 total for the game) we were forced to play zone much of the second half. That is not our forte, we are much better and more active in man to man. UIC outscored us from the line by 16 today although we shot 78% from the line to their 77%. We had our chances at the end of regulation and in the OT, but it didn't happen. We also had too many turnovers as they pressed us effectively. Each time we lose one like this at the end it gets tougher to win the next one. But they are a tough group. I agree with UP the freshmen have talent and are getting better. They are a fun team to watch, but this was not an enjoyable game to watch due to the referees many whistles. They took the flow out of the game for both sides. We walked out of Calihan 2 hours and 45 minutes after the game started.

Looked for a while today like the women were going to win their first one against North Dakota. The two big girls inside were too much. The one gal who was 6’6”-6’7” was a giant and ND used her well. We were down 15 in the third and came back to take a lead but no closer and Searcy who had 21 turned an ankle. There is no quit in this team and once they win one I think they will start winning more than losing. What’s going on with Vowels? What’s he waiting for ? Must be the opportunity to screw up another recruiting season. Give Collins the job for three years and let’s see what she can do. Absolutely no reason to keep dragging feet on the Coaches. Just another bad decision in a list of many. Hire Collins as the coach and get rid of the temp tag.

The Titans team is coming together very nicely considering that this is the first season as a Titan for any of the women. The coach is to be congratulated.

Just another bad decision in a list of many. Hire Collins as the coach and get rid of the temp tag. When I walked by in to Calihan yesterday I passed us warming up and then North Dakota's team. I laughingly asked Coach if she could have tried to schedule a smaller team. They were huge. After a rough first half they came out and left it all on the floor. Pulling ahead for a brief time but ultimately losing in another entertaining game. I agree that when they finally win that first one, the tide will change. Hoping it comes Tuesday at Valpo. It will give them the confidence to finish the league schedule. Of course, you and I agree she has to get the interim off her title. A turned ankle was not Searcy's problem, but both legs were cramping. She was dealing with that most of the fourth quarter. Unfortunately, it happened when she was hot from the field, but it affected her more on defense. She is so quick and disruptive out at the top of the zone. In the end we were outscored 44 to 10 in the paint but were only out rebounded 38-35. The adjustments at halftime did a good job denying them the ball underneath the basket, but once they got it inside, we could not stop them. It was a pleasure to watch #5 from North Dakota, the TALL one. She played her game distributing the ball, standing in the lane on defense intimidating and nullifying our inside game. Most of her shots were under the basket. She knew what her job was, played within herself and lead a balanced well coached team. If someone had told me when I walked in that we would only be out rebounded by 3, I would have laughed. A great group of ladies getting better every game.

Season ended two weeks ago today. Time to decide if Coach Collins stays.

Season ended two weeks ago today. Time to decide if Coach Collins stays. Amen to that! It is not fair to her or her staff to delay this any longer. Here is hoping she stays, gets a decent contract and is able to sign the players she has recruited. These players are not going to wait forever. I am looking forward, not backwards. This coach gets players to play hard! Let's give her the tools to finish recruiting and bring in some players. Let's build a program.

I have to believe the decision to keep her and her staff has been made and communicated to her at the top level. And that in typical U-D fashion, we move at our usual snail's pace to get all the "t"s crossed and "i"s dotted and then the announcement finally made public.
But you are correct: the sooner the decision is announced, the easier recruiting becomes

But you are correct: the sooner the decision is announced, the easier recruiting becomes Tha success of the Athletic programs at UD is so far down the list of what is important to Garibaldi and Vowels that a decision on this will probably not be made until around June. This Liv. 6 version of Elmer Fudd and Bugs Bunny have managed to destroy the Athletic Dept. at UD. I’m not sure our teams would be competitive in a good high school league. Did we even have one team with a winning record? Not one thing they have managed to touch has come out better than prior to the touch of this comedy team.

As I described in an earlier thread somewhere, the MBB team has the best overall record. And some of the teams, partic7larly lacrosse and softball, have huge score differentials and winless records. Mens lacrosse did win a game last weekend.

Mens lacrosse did win a game last weekend. And these two teams 4 years ago were good teams but they have been Garivoweled! Some here want to give Garibaldi a pass on the athletic fails but he is the one who has put himself working directly with Vowels and he has been a part of every bad Vowel decision.
