They're a business. They were allowed to take control of D1 football by the real culprit. And, that is the extremely poorly organized and run NCAA. Everything that's been happening to college athletics stems from decades of poor leadership from that putrid example of an organization. Our was almost inevitable from their lack of leadership and organizational control. That's definitely a big part of it as well. You might as well blame the Courts as well. The NCAA was on the losing side of some major court decisions on both control of football television rights and more recently on NIL. And if you're going to blame the Federal Courts, then the ultimate culprit is the US Constitution. |

That was 100 percent a foul. Arguing about whether it should have been called "in that moment" is nonsense. I watched it a few times and determined that there's a difference between setting a screen and throwing a block. DeVan should be impressed. In the moment I thought it was a 50/50 call but after running the replay multiple times - good call - fair call. UConn has nothing to complain about. That stupid ESPN commentary is irresponsible. And then UConn fails to get the rebound on Clark's subsequent FT miss. They had a timeout remaining and could have advanced the ball to midcourt - if they'd gotten the rebound. If UConn had hit a 3 off that screen/foul and won, we'd be hearing about the incompetence of NCAAW officials against poor little Iowa. And how the result was predetermined in favor of the east coast team from ESPN's backyard. So give the refs some credit. That was a tough call - in the moment - and the 100% correct call. |

It doesn’t matter HOW MANY times I watch the replay; THAT is a foul. Not only is she still moving, she offered a forearm shiver, to boot. Gotta make that call.

Staley is just so unlikable. I can't root for South Carolina because of her. It's too bad, because they have a bunch of good players, play really hard, unselfish. It's also too bad, because I think they are going to absolutely rule wcbb for the foreseeable future. Only lose 1 player off this team and bring in several more top recruits. Still fairly young, I think they'll only lose a couple players even after next year. And somehow they haven't been bleeding out transfers like almost every other program in the country. Staley will catch up to and then pass Mulkey for Championships very soon, then it's only Pat and Geno ahead of her.

I don’t know, there’s a lot to like about the excellence of the program she’s built and her strategic mastery. Her sincere acknowledgement of Iowa and Clark in her postgame awards ceremony comments was classy. Does she wear a sour expression on her face most of the time? Yes. But I remember a certain head coach in Corvallis who has the court named for him who also legendarily projected a uniformly sour demeanor. |

It's the sourpuss, the exasperation after literally any call against her team, the chip on her shoulder a mile wide. Seems like she's mad more often than not. I halfway imagine she wakes up each morning and asks herself "What can I get mad about today?" Yes, she has done a remarkable job of building up that program and is an excellent coach. But I sincerely dislike her and don't see that ever changing. |

I've never heard Rueck make a joke, Staley jokes around and some are pretty good. But you are right, she is the only coach I've ever seen be unhappy during a game.

Nor have you EVER coached with the success or athletes she melds and has to motivate. Yet her facial expressions make you "dislike" her! HA... you do you... but, maybe share less about your personal stereotyping and unfounded prejudice. |

What I think of Staley is based on many things over many years. To zero in on "facial expressions" and pretend like that's what I'm basing this on is beyond ridiculous. But I'm so glad you are here to tell all of us posters how we should feel about various subjects. As you said, you do you. |
