In response to Tiger69
Hi Tiger69,
I suspect you have little cause of worry - especially with a high quality coach that spent 17 years at a D3 school. The Princeton job (men's and women's) is a very good job. Perhaps it does not pay as well as a Power 5 school, but I think it is one many mid major coaches and Power 5 assistant coaches and even some Power 5 head coaches would desire.
What do Tiger fans think - over the last five seasons is there a material difference in the success of the Princeton or UNC programs. The Tar Heals have 5 NCAA wins (1 sweet 16) vs. 2 for the Tigers. Perhaps more money, a better schedule, no academic index, and NIL vs. need based aid - but are the NCAA NET achievements that different? Princeton was a 34 this year, UNC was 37.
What are the upgrade schools for Carla - UConn for sure, perhaps Stanford when Tara VanDerveer retires (to reconnect with Henderson  I suspect if Carla's upgrade schools go in different directions, and if Berube believes she has maxed out the potential of the Princeton program, then any competitive coach would look for a place with a higher upside and a large retirement nest egg. But even then not likely, and likely that larger list is less than 20 schools.
Do you have a different view / worry. I expect Berube will be around for a longtime (ex UConn move). I am still waiting for Amaker, Henderson & Jones to leave for greener pastures.
