Off topic question. Why has there never been a woman D1 head basketball coach? Is there a reason why there couldn’t be?

I understand the vast difference in styles of play between the sexes but I’m kind of surprised that glass ceiling hasn’t been cracked yet.

Or let’s take a variation on that question. How about successful male coaches of womens’ teams. I can think of two right off the top of my head.

In that regard, worth noting that Roussell has Richmond at 11-4, and 2-0 in the A-10.

One answer I have come up with is recruiting. Will a young alpha male basketball play for a woman? I think so but it would have to be a dynamic personality like a Lisa Leslie or similar.

Not sure when the last time Bucknell started 0-4 in league play, but that was atrocious.

It’s a culture of losing now. They expect to lose regardless of how hard they play. 3-13. 0-4 in League. I’m not sure if they win another game. Maybe 1 or 2 but they certainly aren’t making the PL tournament.

Doesn't everyone make the tournament?

The last time was 1981-82. However the opponents then were LaSalle, Saint Joe’s, Temple, and Hofstra. A bit different than the four teams this year.

One other difference is that team in 1982 had a really good future. It included newcomers Jaye Andrews, Ed Sigl, and Eric Hegedus. Plus Cal Puriefoy emerged as a really good point guard during the year. The next season they were good, and the following season they were great. Does anyone see that happening here?

I guess that is one of the glaring issues…apparent greatness or even solid play is not on the horizon. We could be shocked but there is no nucleus of Muscala et al developing to lead this program.

Your recollection of that 81-82 team is very different than mine. Three of the 7 wins were vs Division 3, and the low point of the program in the 45 years that I have been following it was a home loss to Messiah College in mid-February. I can’t imagine how this board would have handled that season. Charlie Woollum certainly would have been on the hot seat. Jaye Andrews was viewed as a potential standout, but not so much for those other names. Eric Hegedus was a JV player that year, and many weren’t real fans of Cal until midway through the next season. I’m hopeful that 40 years from now others might have the same view of 2021-22.

I feel that with a good not a great coach that this team would have 3 wins in league play as of today.

ND looks really calm for getting blown out and watching the layup show!

I would like to congratulate ND and staff on the wonderful job they have put together this season with this program. I would expect Boston will beat us by 10+ and give us the Big ole last place in the league.

I hope the basketball staff reads this board and you throw in the towel at the end of the season, so we don’t see it any worse next season.

I enjoyed the ride with DP’s recruits getting you the W, but that boat has sailed and it’s long long gone. Last place is the new norm so, we will get use to it or #FireND!

If Nathan Davis cares about the program, the school, and the players, he will announce that he is stepping down at the end of the season.

AD Truax needs to live up to his name and give the true axe to coach Davis

In 2018, Becky Hammond (former WNBA star and CSU all-american and Russia Olympic team member) was interviewed for Colorado State job and was reportedly a serious target. Word on the street is that she broke off discussions as she decided to stay focused on becoming the first women's head coach in the NBA.

Thanks! Good info. I’m wondering how long we can keep Mazzante on staff?
