March 23, 20196 yr Misery loves company when it comes to shitty Texas basketball programs. Do something CDC
March 23, 20196 yr Did we lose some players this year that caused this suckage? We were supposed to be good this year I thought.

Higgs was our only key injury among our returning players, but we have a handful of MCD's All Americans on the roster that should have been able to carry the load. Didn't happen
March 23, 20196 yr Between Chris and Jodi and their kiss ass supporters, CDC finds himself in a damn mess. Good luck Mr. AD. This program, just as men’s, is beyond sick and beyond revamping but too many supporters can’t see this yet.

This program, just as men’s, is beyond sick and beyond revamping but too many supporters can’t see this yet. Agree that all the kiss-ass supporters of Chris, Jodi and Karen need to wake up or Texas Women's basketball is about to take another hard fall. CDC will have to walk a tightrope with the politics in this WBB situation... but it needs to improve. Without the Senior guards last year constantly bailing that team out, last season would have been a huge disappointment. Aston had a great team last year that underperformed -- they should have defeated UCLA in the Sweet 16. Karen has done a really poor job this season..... Karen needs to get her act together quickly. There is no way that Iowa State, Kansas State and West Virginia should have won games IN AUSTIN against the Ladyhorns this year..... NO EXCUSES
March 23, 20196 yr Hoping no extensions have been added.....Maybe Karen's contract is up after next season?? http://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/story/_/id/17621384/texas-women-coach-karen-aston-gets-raise-3-year-extension Sept 2016: "Aston's guaranteed salary was bumped up to $770,000 entering her fifth season, and she's eligible for $220,000 in performance incentives. Her base salary is an increase of $158,187 from last season. The new contract runs through the 2019-20 season."

Unfortunately, Plonsky/CDC will chalk it up to losing Higgs, Joyner's early injury, Warren's mid-season concussion and never getting a single minute out of Sedona. 23 wins as a "down year" is being spoiled, since the other shit show in the FEC can't even hit 20 wins. Let's be real - SR Sug RS SR Higgs JR Littleton / SO Warren SR Holmes / SO Collier RS FR Prince That's bordering on top 10. Having a 6'7 post player alone gets you top 10. Very few teams can do anything to stop it. Edited March 23, 20196 yr by Js1
March 23, 20196 yr Ideally, we also boot George Washington or Jamie Carey and throw an obscene amount of cash at Shae Ralph to be Associate Head Coach / Offensive Coordinator or ask Geno/Muffett who the best offensive mind is (not on their staff) and go get them.

RS both Higgs and Prince and run it back next year. Glad Prince ended up RS this year. Once Higgs was injured the best move was to play for next year with a healthy roster (knock on wood). Sutton, Higgs, Littleton, Allen-Taylor, Underwood, Routt, Prince, Holmes, Warren, Collier, Celeste Taylor, Hannan, and Palmer. By my count there are 13 scholarship players for next year so even without attrition Texas could add a grad transfer or two. It will be interesting what happens with Routt and Allen-Taylor because Celeste Taylor and Palmer are going to pass them up on the depth chart. Edited March 23, 20196 yr by texasstrong12
March 23, 20196 yr Aston definitely has some mack brown to her. Great recruiter but very little results and blow outs against our main rival. Hopefully she can randimly put it together for one season. At least by the rankings, we should be able to roll out a starting lineup full of five stars next season. The team seems to suffer from the same limited coaching on the offensive side of the game as the men's program. Maybe she needs to shakeup an assistant coach from elsewhere.

Aston really struggled this season. Great play from the Senior guards last season made Karen look better as a coach than she may be.. Baylor coach really owns Texas during games as Karen sucks at in game adjustments.... if Karen can't step up her results in 2018-19 then CDC should be willing to hire a better coach. Texas WBB should be able to win a B12 Championship and at some point make it to a Final 4. Need more players like Ariel... http://www.dailytexanonline.com/2018/07/12/ariel-atkins-nominated-for-ncaa-woman-of-the-year-award Edited March 23, 20196 yr by LTtxfan
March 23, 20196 yr The only problems with this team are poor defense, no decent three shooters, and several players who can't make a fkn basket when they are standing right under it

March 26, 20196 yr Postseason results show its Baylor followed by mediocrity in the big 12. 4 teams in - Texas and KSU go out early, 3 seed ISU gets upset at home in round 2 to 11 seed Missouri State
March 26, 20196 yr There’s no reason we should get anything less than 2nd in the big 12. We are mediocre
March 27, 20196 yr Holly warlick fired at Tennessee per Jeff Goodman gives me hope that if it came to it we would fire Aston

March 27, 20196 yr I mean, Gail should call up Holly and they can talk about how much it sucks to be the coach who replaces the legend. It's not easy.
March 28, 20196 yr 58 minutes ago, Pancho Negro said: Littleton has entered her name in the transfer portal per IT I mean she wasn’t a great shooter but doesn’t this mean we need another shooting guard?
March 28, 20196 yr @Js1 can correct me but I read somewhere that the entire 2017 class has transferred out now?

March 29, 20196 yr Plonsky and Jody would cash in every political favor in their circle to make sure Karen remains while they're around, no where near a hot seat at this point. Bball having below average coaching has to be worst case scenario for CDC with this new arena on his plate.
March 29, 20196 yr CDC isn’t going to do anything this year. The real problem is next year after both programs fail to make the kind of improvements needed and really shows what fans and CDC already knows about how flawed our coaches are. I think Shaka will be gone next year but it looks like to me we are still 2-3 years from getting a real women’s basketball coach. Primarily due to the Plonsky, Jodi effect and their head-in-the sand followers. I know them, and I’m sure most of you do to, and they aren’t close to being ready for a coaching change.

CDC needs to win over the political group that favors Women's Basketball..... Take Down the Plonsky/Jody wall please CDC!! Karen is extremely overrated. Senior guards last year hid how poorly Karen coaches. What's Aston's current contract expiration?? Best info I found is from Sept 2016....

March 29, 20196 yr 13 hours ago, perfectchaos007 said: Sounds like our program is back in purgatory. Next few years are gonna be rough. Hard to say. If Collier bolts, watch out. It's going to get ugly. If she stays, plus Higgs, Prince, Sug and Celeste Taylor - it won't be purgatory. Littleton wasn't happy after her freshman year either, it took a few 'come to Jesus' talks to get her to stay for this past season. She might just not be happy. Remember, we got LUCKY to even get her because USC fired Cooper-Dykes. And almost lost her after a year. Howevah, Karen may have gotten screwed with some "diva" type recruits in that 2017 class. Boothe for sure - headcase. So much talent, so much attitude. That 2017 class had some problems In Fact, it looks like the 2017 class was so offensively focused (Chaz Buckets, Boothe, and the top HS scorer in America), it was nothing like what Karen puts first and foremost - defense. It does look like her 2019 and 2020 recruits are more "junkyard dog" types. Celeste especially. The key is finding the junkyard dogs with elite talent - ain't another Ariel Atkins walking through that door. 14 hours ago, ruitxn said: CDC isn’t going to do anything this year.

As long as Jody is in Karen's corner, we're screwed. The 80s and 90s Jody sycophants will follow her off a cliff. And don't even TRY to bring up hiring someone with a penis. That's going too far with them. Edited March 29, 20196 yr by Js1

Time for Karen to get her act together or move on if Texas WBB expects to compete with Baylor while Kim is there..... 🤘
March 29, 20196 yr Never understood how our coaches from the 80s and 90s were dietized for supposedly “being far ahead of the game” when it came to WBB. Bottom line is our program has only ever won 1 championship. Don’t know why they are worshiped as some pioneers of the sport at Texas. 1 chip over the course of 2 decades is better than zero, but idk why people act like they were winning everything. Louisiana Tech was more ahead of the field in that regard. Tldr: Jodi is overrated and shouldn’t have the pull she has but plonsky enables this bullshit Edited March 29, 20196 yr by perfectchaos007

Then Tech swooped in and knocked us down a peg in the early 90s. That's about when UConn, Stanford and Duke took our place.

Edited March 29, 20196 yr by Js1
April 1, 20196 yr Author I'm guessing this is why Littleton entered the transfer portal. Wanted to get closer to home with a sick dad and family. Aston RT'ed so seems like it's the reason. Edited April 1, 20196 yr by texasstrong12
April 1, 20196 yr I can’t fault her for that. It’s similar to why we got Collier - family issue made her want to stay home

April 2, 20196 yr Oh hey look, Wicked Witch of Waco is in the Final Four again. Remind me how we did? Oh yeah, first round loss.
April 2, 20196 yr Programs are headed in opposite directions once again, just like they were at the end of Gail G’s tenure

Great comments..... How much longer is Karen under contract?? Watching Baylor consistently kick our ass has to stop..... Karen is just NOT that great at player development or in-game adjustments.
