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.

Pouring Some Water Into That Glass.... by dillon77

..she was an assitant coach to Muffet from 199-2007, raising to Assc. Head Coach in charge of recruiting. During that time, she was on the coaching staff that won the first national championship.

- During that time, as Cbiebel has pointed out, she worked with the starting point guard, one Niele Ivey. So there's undoubtedly a positive enough connection there for Niele to want to bring her back. Assuming Carol Owens is back, that will give her two assistants with HC experience.

- As poor as four of her last five years were, she intially built the team up into a top-flight unit from 2010-14, led by the spectacular Maggie Lucas.

- Per your recruiting reference, she does know her native Michigan area, as well as Penn State places of interest, from Maryland and eastern PA. to New Jersey.

- Coquese is something of a 40-year story from ND. Besides playing professionally and coaching, she's got her law degree and worked hard with the players' union. Great example for recruits.

-- Actually thought her recruiting class of 2019 was pretty good. A couple of her incoming kids got off to good starts with Carolyn Kieger; others didn't.
