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.

The importance of learning to delegate by SixShutouts66

One of the most serious (and common) problems that people have when they are newly promoted is adjusting their responsibilities. It's very easy to say the reasons I got this job was I'm very good at certain aspects of the job and much better than anyone of my staff is at it.

I would guess that the recruiting responsibilities Niele had were very time-consuming and may have required days away from the campus. Much of it probably involved spending time at tournament or high school games and reviewing films to identify viable prospects. She'll still be the key to recruiting success, but her role has to change due to added responsibilities.
