Of course a coaching change will be made, but then what? I will never wrap my head around our inability to recruit talented WBB players. Kellie is/was great obviously, but what kind of team could she assemble for us today? What is so objectionable about WCU to the average recruit? Thatâs all it really comes down to in the world of mid-major womenâs hoops; itâs not as if a final four berth is at stake when choosing between attending Western or UTC. Nor is it a matter of a kid choosing, say, Wofford over Western because Wofford averages 250 in attendance for their womenâs games while Western only pulls 225 a night (made up figures for argument purposes). There are no delusions of grandeur at this level! Whatever is wrong with our recruiting approach, the problem is growing exponentially. As we all know, our best student athletes are sold on the SCHOOL first. I look forward to seeing where Alex goes with this hire. I really think he has the vision and the connections to find who we need so desperately!

Every womenâs basketball coach we have had has been successful at other schools and then they come to Western and lose. That should tell us that maybe this is not a coaching issue. If we just change the coach and say there you go, we will not change a thing.

Volleyball, soccer, softball, track, golf, tennis - all fairly competitive, given their resources.

Not sure of the question, but Speir was an unknown commodity when hired; just as was Bob Waters. Besides, Eaton pulled that trigger, not Alex.

I know there will be a coaching change. That ship has sailed. All I am saying is that there is more wrong with womenâs basketball at WCU than just coaching. Look at the history over the past 30 yeats if you need proof. Many people think if we can just hire the right coach, we will become competitive but I know that is not the case. Need to figure out the systemic issues with the program and fix them. Why canât we recruit top players for womenâs basketball?
