What everyone discovered and Mulkey laughed at was that Aston could recruit but didn’t have a clue how to coach an elite program. Her gig was over. First the losses with talent. Now, the losses without talent. Until we get new leadership that can actually coach...the gig is over. And 3 years ago was when she got that 3 year extension. It's been eerily quiet on the renewal front - CDC let her go into this season without a renewal in hand, making 2019-2020 a make or break year. In conclusion:
November 19, 20196 yr Why should we even wait until the end of the season? If she's putting a terrible product on the court, she shouldn't make it to Big XII play.
November 19, 20196 yr 1 hour ago, Goodman said: Names of who we would want? Throw some money at Walz. A la Mike White. Get Niele Ivey from the Grizzlies, she is going to be an amazing college coach. Shea Ralph - don’t discount what she’s learned under Geno for 11 years.
November 19, 20196 yr Had a little break and looked at the remaining schedule. 0-5 is not out of the realm of possibility when conference play starts. I think they might (**might**) go 1-2 when they head to the Hawaii tournament. @ Tennessee is a L Stanford at home might be a 35+ point blowout, especially if we just lost to a mediocre Arizona at home by 25. Gonna be a LONG season
November 19, 20196 yr 1-2 currently UTRGV should be a win Southern should be a win NC state - LOSS UNT - should be a win @ Hawaii - no idea but I'll say win @ Tenn - LOSS Ohio - win Tree - LOSS NW State - win 7-5 in non-conference would be HORRIBLE.

November 20, 20196 yr She can’t even use the “we have a young team” excuse. Most of the starters are seniors and juniors. This is the product she developed
November 20, 20196 yr Gross. 16 point win against UTRGV 47% shooting and 39% from three 20 turnovers (this is literally a hallmark of Aston's team - 20ish turnovers per game) I am heartened to see Celeste hit 3 threes. Hopefully that gets her going. Collier had a miserable game (2-10 shooting, 6-6 FT, 11 points, 5 turnovers, 4 fouls)
November 20, 20196 yr Actually, under Karen, my turnover numbers were an exaggeration, we haven't average 20/game since her first year but we are creeping back up. On pace for 3rd worse turnovers/game since Karen has been here. 2012-13: 20.3 2013-14: 18.2 2014-15: 16.3 2015-16: 15.9 2016-17: 15.2 2017-18: 14.9 2018-19: 16.2 2019-20: 17.9

November 21, 20196 yr Yesssssssssssssss national media is giving Aston the business Quote Texas Something just doesn't seem right in Austin, Texas. Last season's promise turned into disappointment and ended in a first-round NCAA tournament loss to Indiana. After a 2-2 start to this season, the Longhorns are already on alert. They haven't dropped from the field yet, but they have tumbled from a top-16 team in October's preseason bracket to one not all that far from the bubble. Texas is a No. 9 seed in Thursday's projection. Editor's Picks Women's Bracketology - Oregon State replaces Stanford on No. 1 line 'Why not us?': Veteran guards ready to guide Oregon State Winners and losers from national signing week Coach Karen Aston has used different starting lineups in all four of Texas' games, searching for the right chemistry. It wasn't there in a 25-point home loss to Arizona on Sunday, or in the season opener, a 64-57 defeat at South Florida. The two wins (Texas-Arlington and UT Rio Grande Valley) do nothing for the résumé, and the Longhorns can no longer be considered a lock for a tournament berth. Games against NC State, Stanford and Tennessee await before Big 12 play, but without a win in at least one of those matchups, Texas will enter the new year playing for its postseason life. https://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/story/_/id/28130493/undefined

December 1, 20196 yr With the Ducks losing to L’ville and Baylor losing to SC, Tree might be #1 when they come to town.

December 1, 20196 yr Tonight will be interesting Hawaii hung with NC State and only lost by 9. Meanwhile, we creep by Nawf Texas. 3rd game in a row on the island with them having home court. Gonna be interesting if we lose to a Big West schoo. EDIT: Hawaii isn’t even in the WAC anymore—they are the Big West (wtf?) Edited December 1, 20196 yr by Pancho
December 2, 20196 yr Hawaii leads 31-30 at halftime. Not a fan of Sug's big ass "God's Gift" tattoo down her right arm
December 2, 20196 yr We are down by 10 to Hawaii with 2 minutes left in the 4th quarter. Got them right where we want them

December 2, 20196 yr She won’t be “fired” per se but like Clark, it’ll be a non-renewal of her contract.
December 6, 20196 yr On 12/5/2019 at 9:36 AM, Goodman said: Ok, well who are the top targets? Big time: Jeff Walz More of a chance: Niele Ivey - ND ain’t opening up anytime soon an up and comer like Lisa Fortier at Gonzaga who succeeded Graves (Oregon) Teri Moran at Indiana Maybe a top tier assistant like Shae Ralph from UConn
December 6, 20196 yr You would think that a job like Texas would be able to get nearly anyone they want. Texas is still a top jobin women's basketball. The problem is, we've fallen off. But with a new arena and the recruiting base, there's no reason we couldn't get a top name. However, like @Js1is hinting, we might have to go the assistant route which may not be a bad thing. Hell when KM was hired at Baylor, she had no HC experience (was just an assistant at Louisiana Tech) and look at them. Walz should be the 1st phone call--no questions asked. Make him say no. Then work your way down. I would like CDC to check with Becky Hammon to gauge interest, but I think she's primarly a professional coach who may not want to recruit. I'd say Schaefer but he's 58 years old and will probably be at MSU the rest of his career. Aggy is dumb enough to hire him though after Blair retires. It's going to be interesting to see a.) if CDC hires a male and b.) who he goes after. I mean, I didn't think we'd get Gail from Duke but we did. So I'm confident some names will be interested because of our situation above (recruiting, new arena). I just hope Jody and Chris have their hands off of this hire. If we got the Oregon softball coach, I'm confident we can get some names for this job. Finally, they feel bad for us yet are happy at our demise. Time to put these mofos back to pasture: https://sicem365.com/forums/4/topics/56547
December 6, 20196 yr Mulkey was an assistant Coale was a HS Coach Graves was a G5 coach Geno was an assistant Walz was an assistant Rueck was HC at something called George Fox
December 8, 20196 yr 42-36 Texas at halftime. We are shooting lights out. How Tennessee can't figure out to drive the ball instead of taking 15 foot jumpers, I'll never know. Once they do, we done. I also don't expect us to continue shooting as hot as we are in the 2nd half.
