Administration, don't screw this up. Hire Jewett now. You know that's what the players want.

Look at Jay Elsen’s most recent tweets about him. I think we got a steal! This is the player I was hoping for. Great get!

I would have zero issue with Jewett as the head coach. But, realistically, what are the chances a 50-something male is the admin's choice for the job? Depends how the admin views it. Mike is probably more likely to stick around for longer if he has success compared to a younger coach. While it’s great to have coaches find success and move up it’s not necessarily something we can sustain long term. If he can coach and he wants to stay I don’t see why gender or age should even be a factor. But I agree I’m sure the school wants that wow factor which always seems to get us a coach for a few years and then they bolt. At this point in time this shouldn't even be a consideration. Hire the best person for the job. Jewett is in tune with the players, he's highly respected in the locker room, he's a proven recruiter and, as has been said, is more likely to stick around.

Regardless who ends up getting hired, I like the fact that we have two solid options right off the bat. The longer a coaching search happens, the more likely you start to see players and recruits getting uneasy and looking at other options..... especially in this time frame right before the portal deadline. Schemmel hired a search firm, so I wouldn't expect a resolution in the next week. A search firm is a waste of money when the best candidate is on campus already. Hire Jewett yesterday!

Is this team just totally adverse to the thought of recruiting high school talent? The goal seems to be to pick up everyone else's retreads. Hmmm...there are three high school players coming in next fall and only one (so far) portal transfer.

If she would happen to go I think we have a ready replacement everyone would be comfortable with.

Geno rarely, if ever, misses. And how can you NOT be a fan of UConn? Easily. Two words, twice. Notre Dame. Go Irish!

Not a big fan of UConn, but he's spot on about this.

This is true to some degree, but if it's one or even two posters who obviously have an agenda and constantly do nothing but criticize the program and every little decision made by the coaching staff...that's a problem. Even if it's not the player's fault it's a cancer that needs to be eliminated. A good friend who was a college coach once told me he called in a freshman player after the end of the season and told her that he thought she was going to be a good player, but that it was going to be at another school because he was done dealing with her dad. Take from that what you want. That's a different situation all together that would require some sort of direct interaction. If a coach is so soft that an online fan forum would make them do that, that's s different problem. Go read what the Bison fans post on their forums. It's 100 times worse than what happens here. I'd be willing to bet that if said person was chirping on here constantly that they'd also be in the coach's ear as well.

From what I know, we are lucky we only lost 3 to the portal/retirement. Jewett is the team's salvation, the players love and respect him! The toxicity of this forum doesn't help matters either. It is easy to hide behind an avatar, criticize and degrade a player or coach's decision. Heaven forbid anyone be held accountable for performance. I understand your player argument somewhat. They are kids brought in to do a job they may or may not be able to do. Your argument on coaching doesn't hold water. They're well paid to do a high profile job. They should expect professional criticism. Just because some of us disapprove of the job they do doesn't mean we are personally attacking them. Inability to separate the two puts a person in snowflake territory. This is true to some degree, but if it's one or even two posters who obviously have an agenda and constantly do nothing but criticize the program and every little decision made by the coaching staff...that's a problem.

I wouldn't think we'd need a shooting guard with Stewart, Bruns x 2 and Burchill. Maybe a point and be able to move Holt to a small forward.

Gave up 54 points in the paint. Gave up a combined 44 points in the paint in the two previous games. No chance with that number. This is why in another thread discussing the new sign of Madison Hillman I asked the question, CAN SHE MOVE? It seems like all the centers that have been recruited the last couple of years have no foot speed. Height means NOTHING if you are froze to the ground or plod through the paint at the speed of paint drying. Watch her run in the game film. Not a sprinter obviously but she runs smoothly and effortlessly up on her toes, not flatfooted. That's the first thing I look at. I think she's strong, plenty athletic and is going to be just fine.

Hope Midco doesn't go the way of the Argus. We're lucky to have Elsen as are commentator. I certainly hope nothing happens to him.
