Her distracted coaching & sub-par recruiting starting in about 2017 is going to be the cause of what looks to be a losing season. She used her coaching job to prepare herself for an NBA job. Can Cal sue her for malpractice of coaching?
This is one of the most idiotic posts ever on this board -- and that is a pretty low bar.Ccajon2 said:

Yes, weird and ignorant stuff. But that's what the mute/ignore/block option is for and why I shall apply it now.really said:This is one of the most idiotic posts ever on this board -- and that is a pretty low bar.Ccajon2 said:

I hope the lack of other replies is a sign that other board members are ignoring your post in order to discourage any further similar babbling, and not due to an unwillingness to call out your lack of decency, your limited understanding of Cal wbb and your sloppy typos.

I think the classes entering in 2017 and 2018 were thin and got much thinner with the departure of Smith and Forbes. AFAIK current freshies Crocker, Green, and Lutje Schipholt were recruited by LG. So was Lauren Fields, who changed her mind after LG left.calbear80 said:
Do you think LG recruited well the last two or three years? I don't.
If true that LG was suffering from top players' perceptions that she had faults as a coach, why couldn't Charmin and the rest of the staff overcome some of those perceptions? I agree that LG's departure is a positive for the same reasons outlined above. I hope that Charmin and the staff can now remedy some of LG's shortcomings.Finnish Oski said:
I've read a lot of nonsense here about LG not trying to recruit or being too distracted by pregnancy, SW airlines and getting an NBA job (all without a scintilla of evidence or real knowledge of the situation). The fact is that LG an staff continued to work very hard at recruiting but -- according to at least one prominent girl's high school coach -- the word had gotten out among the nation's top players that LG was not particularly good at developing players and that her tactical ability, game management and use of players were bad. Hence when she left Charmin was able to haul in four excellent recruits. LG's departure was a big plus for the program but don't demean her efforts by suggesting she was too distracted to recruit, especially absent any evidence.
Pretty hard to overcome what the head coach does or is perceived as.Quote:

Haha - Nope, I just take personal offense to such arrogant ignorance as saying "sue her for malpractice of coaching..." LOL Especially for one "losing session [sic]" -- I mean, I hardly know where to begin.Ccajon2 said:willtalk said:

No just LGs husband got a little miffed at me saying I'm ignorant of Cal wbb and lack decency. Who but someone close to her would say that of me. I'm a saint on this board compared to others.
I agree with you. Frankly I enjoy how silly the comment and attitude of @willtalk is.really said:Wow, that's a really cutting criticism there....willtalk said:

("By the way!" - lol) you may have noticed that the number of active posters on this site seems to have declined with the team's conference performance the last few years; and the amount of actual bball analysis and any insightful/insider info has dropped along with them.
So the board has become even more of an echo chamber than before, based mostly on the frustrated speculation of a few posters who either wish there was more hard info (recruiting/injuries/etc.) out there about the wbb team or who don't care.
Love John Beilein but, he should have stayed at Michigan. I get that he is in his mid/late 60's so the NBA money is much better then college money but, his stint in the NBA will be a short one. He should have consulted Nick Saban before he made the jump to the pros.annarborbear said:
Lindsay left with two years remaining on her contract. Instead of riding out those remaining two years for the money, she has given Charmin her chance. I thought she also needed a mid- career mentor to get some new ideas about coaching, and she gets that in John Beilein. So it is all good.

Three--so far--top 2020 recruits. A solid game against the #5 team. I'm willing to be optimistic, and simply view 2019-20 as a rebuilding year.calbear80 said:annarborbear said:

Does it? 0-2? Lost to a non-scholarship school?
Go Bears!
We beat Brown last year by 10 points (vs losing by 3 this year) and lost to UConn by 35 points last year (vs 11 this year). Considering that we probably have the least experience of all of the 355 WBB teams in the country there is hope that we will win some games as we play together more.calbear80 said:annarborbear said:

Nope, that was 2017-18. Last season's UConn game was just a 10-point margin, but with a more experienced team, and deeper into the season. This year's 11-point difference at UConn with mostly new starters was pretty admirable.GATC said:We beat Brown last year by 10 points (vs losing by 3 this year) and lost to UConn by 35 points last year (vs 11 this year).

You are correct, my error. I was trying to compare the away games as our team was completely not prepared to play UConn at their place last time while they looked more prepared this year.BearBint said:Nope, that was 2017-18.
