I'm sorry, but NO Western Carolina team should lose to PC, in any sport.
The women's basketball team has lost the last 2 of 3 games to PC, and on track to lose today. This is not acceptable.

Hill has to be on the hot seat and it has to be burning

Hill has to be on the hot seat and it has to be burning Too bad, because he's a good guy. But...

I agree that he is a good guy but honestly, based on history, I look for whoever is next is going to get the same results as Coach Hill. We have had only 1 or 2 good winning women’s basketball coaches at Western in the last 35 years and what makes anybody think we will hit a home run with a new hire. We got very lucky to get Kelly on the way up. Also, all the so called bad coaches we have had to fire were winners somewhere else or became winners when they left Western. What is the common denominator here? We will just insert the next coach that will win less than 10 games every year for 5 years and then fire them. Before we fire Coach Hill and hire the next coach someone needs to sit down and look at whatever the systemic problems are with Women’s basketball at Western and fix those before The new coach gets here.

I agree with your sentiment, it’s deeper than just the HC.

He might be a nice guy but how in the world could he accept his salary for the job he has done in his 4 years so far.....He is making $150,000.00 and has done a horrible job...He has finished last in the SoCon every year but one....Two or three years he has gone 0-14 in the SoCon...I would't be surprised if we give him a contract extension....You have got to change the culture in all sports not just football....

There's been an upswing in most women's sports in the last few years. Soccer for sure. Softball is competitive, and tennis and golf seem to be too. If they can do it basketball should be able to do it too.

Western will not extend Coach Hills contract and we will have a new head women’s basketball coach next year unless there is some kind of miracle turnaround. My only point is that, I am not sure a new coach will be able to fix whatever the problems are unless we get extremely lucky. Why can’t most coaches win at Western? Is it funding? Is if recruiting? Is it culture? Is it lack of tradition? Is it really all coaching or is it all of the above or none of the above? Western needs a comprehensive plan other than fire the coach, hire a new one and hope we win this time. That did not work the last 4 times.

I agree with you there needs to be a plan and a coach with a vision.....We need to take a different direction and look for a coach who has energy and can build a program.....If you look at his tenure he has never been able to put a winning program together and we would just bring up the bottom every year.....LAST PLACE EVERY YEAR ACCEPT ONE....We need a new set of eyes!!!!!
