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.

I think the pandemic affected how things transpired here and by Domerduck

Beth landed on her feet in a good place. It's hard to judge ND on this process. As I posted when Niele made the change to Coquese that works to make this her team not Muffet's still running the show from retirement. I'm not saying she would, but we know she's staying in SB and will still have a presence at ND so if Niele had the exact same staff there'd be some question.

With out knowing any specifics, my guess ND had a place for Beth if she didn't find one. I think all these moves are good for each team. A strong Duke helps ND as long as we keep beating them which is my true hope. I also want them to beat Louisville as many times as they get a chance.
