Random guy on Twitter saying it? I agree because it fits by narrative.

Look at the tweet by Wendy Falslev. Her daughter Kensley played on the team. She says in her tweet, her daughter gave up the sport due to Kayla's abusive behavior. She also says in another tweet, she has stayed silent far too long about kayla's behavior.

I agree I was just saying it in a strange way. Because I’m a strange guy. Wanna hangout sometime? I know an old dam by a dried up reservoir. You can throw things off the top and watch them go BOOM!

Crazy reading the comments on the last IG page for the women's basketball team. People are really bothered by the press conference and attacking the ad. This whole thing is weird. Ard was treated very fairly by usu.

Kinley. I believe she married Matt Wickizer.

Anyone defending the AD gets aggressively accused of being "Diana's burner account" ... it makes me think that Kayla and her friends are in the social media mix trying to fuel the persecution complex.

I’ve seen that too…it’s weird. I don’t want to jump to conclusions but it does feel like her way of addressing it in the press conference, while not outright disrespectful, allowed the narrative of what happened to become to this twisted- and I’m not sure that upsets her.

If they are trying to push that narrative out there, I'm not sure they've thought it all the way through. Based on what's been shared on this forum alone, if half of its true, she and her people ought to be more concerned about that getting out. Keep pushing the narrative, eventually one of these internet social justice warriors will pick up on the other half of the story...

Just when you think the Kayla Saga is dying down. Kayla makes all her social media platform public now and put a message out, trying to garner more sympathy and support

Those comments on there are wild. Who would have thought Kayla ard getting fired would have gained her an army of fans that feel sympathetic towards her because of a brief press conference? Funny since if what former players have said are true she is the opposite of what her new fanbase thinks she is.

Well. I think she may have wanted this….there are some crazy people out there. Like without knowing literally anything about what went on behind the scenes (and I’ve now seen 2-3 parents on Twitter making comments about the toxic environment)…24-90 doesn’t cut it. I would get fired if I were that bad at my job, whether I was the nicest or meanest person in the office. It’s indefensible and yet….

Yep it is just people who saw a brief moment that moved them and wanted to latch onto something with no facts involved

And remember how many new accounts that had never posted on this site before mysteriously came into this thread to tell us how awesome Ard is? It would be interesting to know how many of the Ard defenders on social media had the same IP address.

Justin Hutson did his press conference, announced his time at Fresno State was up. The social media warriors all up in arms about Kayla “having” to do a press conference after being fired probably won’t call this one out as him being wronged by the university….just saying.

The fact that multiple other coaches…not just Huston but Jerod Haase at Stanford and Hopkins at UW have done press conferences after their firing…but Kayla’s was made into a big deal because they “made her”‘do it is just absurd. The university did not mishandle this, Kayla did.

Hopkins you maybe could argue was handled differently, but the other 2 were the exact same thing. It was a slow news day

I think it had less do with a slow news day and more to do with BJ Rains wanting to take a shot at USU. He strongly implied that USU fired Ard right before she walked up to the podium. I'm guessing most people retweeted it based on Rains' caption without even listening to the video.

If it happened today there is a ton of college basketball stories with all the games being played that it wouldn't get nearly the attention.

Again, they did. But that's not unheard of nor was it the big deal people made of it. And it certainly wasn't undeserved.

I have not heard of any players who have publicly said anything about the firing. I also have not heard any of the players defending Ard, either.

It will be interesting to see how it plays out in hiring the new coach. It would be great if we can have some success on the women's side. Admin's is this the largest thread ever on the side yet?

shoresy · Post by **shoresy** » March 22nd, 2024, 10:53 am

According to this site, we have three players currently in the portal. Tiairra Hill-Brown, Bridget Mullings and Macy Smith. I've heard of a fourth, but it must not be official quite yet.

hopefully, we'll get an HC who can bring their team with them and have immediate success (and then leave us a year later for a B1G school that'll write us a fat check on the way out).

ViAggie · Post by **ViAggie** » March 25th, 2024, 5:04 pm

man, speaking of the TP, what's up with New Mexico and Fresno State? The entire team from each roster has to be in there!

Raoul also shows they have two new players coming in. Not sure how many openings they have remaining. I would think a new coach will need to let some players go if they are going to be successful.

Thanks for the tip, I've checked that site a few times before.

I do hope the AD is showing urgency with this hire and not letting the fact that the men's job just opened delay anything. It feels very important to get a new HC in here quickly to start making contacts in the portal while there is still talent there.

I'm worried that between Diana's family issue right now and the men's search, this hire is taking a back seat, and that makes me very sad.

Par for the course for this program for its entire existence. Nobody gives a sh*t about Utah State women's basketball because nobody in the administration gives a sh*t about Utah State women's basketball.

I understand Diana has other things going on in her life, and that is tragic, but she has many capable people around her who could run this search if she is not able.
