This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

And Is the Go-To First Interview After the Game.... by dillon77

...very good reason why she's in such demand. Still think the big question regarding Haley is around her leaving the West Coast. Perhaps hanging with other U.S. National Teammates (umm, Sam Brunelle) will get her to the outside door, then the trip to South Bend in beautiful September will open eyes!

There is precedent on her own HS team: Karisma Ortiz, a pretty darn good guard in her own right, is leaving No. Cali to go to Penn State under Coach Coquese Washington.

Wonderful player who could work with/under Jackie Young for a year before taking over the wing/big guard role for years. Very much crossing fingers and hoping good thoughts on this one.
