While we’re getting rid of Bay Area coaches let’s toss that Steve Kerr guy.  Three year downward trend, poor game mgmt, don’t give me injuries as an excuse and only won with the previous coaches core.

What a bum!

Exactly!  While we're at it, why not include that Tara VanDerveer?  Hasn't won a title since 1992!  Sticking to that outdated triangle offense for years when everyone knew beyond all possible doubt that you could never succeed with it but Tara was just too stubborn to change.  She also keeps her inside Tara program coaches for way too long.  She clearly needed an outside brilliant offensive mind to fix the team.  And her recruiting for many years just wasn't up to the quality we expect and even the players we were getting weren't being coached up enough.  We went four years in a row where we lost in the first and second rounds of the tournament in the late 90s.  Tara probably wasn't working hard enough at recruiting because she had become so complacent and smug after winning the 96 Olympics.  Also, the fans who supported her were complicit in the team's decline because we left it to her to take care of business.  There have been several 4-5 year periods where the downward trajectory was clear and obvious to all who were not suffering from blind loyalty.  I mean, her team hasn't even won the Pac-12 regular season title for over 5 years!  And all those knee injuries were definitely her responsibility if not her fault.  She is definitely at fault for the attendance at women's basketball being down.  Yet somehow, by being allowed the time to work through both the highs and the lows, that stubborn fool is getting some of the best recruits of her career; has revamped the offense a few times to suit her players; and is again bringing the team back to an elite level.  But just think of how much better the team would have been if she had only listened to angry criticisms of the brilliant fans.  

Cheers,
Pete F.
