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.

Not To Be A Debbie Downer About This, But I Don't See How by savr27

This move prepares Ivey for a head coach job in women’s basketball. If I understand correctly, she’s being considered to be on the coaching staff of an NBA men’s basketball league. This is much different then being a head coach for a collegiate women’s basketball team. The play and style is different and recruiting is a major component to college basketball. Now, unless Ivey is trying to prepare herself for coaching in the NBA, then yes, this is a great move.

But, if her aspirations is to be a women’s college head coach, then in my opinion, this is a waste. I would have preferred her take a head coaching job in college and comeback to ND as McGraw’s successor. I think Ivey has the potential to be a great college coach and if she does leave, it’s a huge blow to recruiting- she’s one of the best out there as she relates well to the younger generation. Selfishly, I hope she doesn’t get the job - lol
