Yes the Ard years have seen new lows for women’s BASKETBALL but this thread makes it seem like women’s basketball has actually been good at one point. It’s always been bad. That doesn’t excuse Ard at all but this thread wants to buy her out and also increase Sprinkle’s pay and charter flights and increase assistant salaries

We aren’t flush with cash have to have priorities and choices.

So your message to the players would be, “you are not that important, we don’t care about your experience.”

Just before the NCAA annexed women's sports, usually had dominant, nationally ranked volleyball, basketball, and softball teams, with a handful of national championship appearances.

Wasn't always this abysmal.

I know that peabley's record doesn't show a lot, but i seem to recall she did a good job here. to say wbb has never been good here is a slap, to say it hasn't been good recently now that makes sense.

While it's true that we haven't had a ton of success in women's basketball, there's truly ZERO excuse for it. None, other than blatant incompetence and an overwhelming lack of give a damn by any of our previous administrators to actually make that program good.

Manny and Rob and Danny have shown how quickly you can turn a program around here in Logan, and UNLV has shown how quickly you can take a program from not very good to a national powerhouse in a short amount of time.

We're going to find out very soon if Diana Sabau is an AD who cares about women's sports, or just another AD who is fine with pushing that god awful program into the corner.

She was a good coach, it was sad to see her go, especially to a rival WAC/MWC foe. Fink was a terrible hire for many reasons.

No. My message simply is/was between everything you hear about football and now basketball to compete these days you have to have strong NIL along with rapidly rising coaching salaries and other perks (charter, athlete benefits, facilities etc) and that when the prevalent thread recently was deep pockets coming for Sprinkle and how our high performing men’s basketball team can’t keep a coach more than 1-2 years because we can’t pay enough or have enough perks/NIL that we then have to utilize resources that USU is just not as flush with as others to get rid of a coach.

Someone performing this bad at their job should certainly be fired. I am amazed she with her resume was able to get this long of a deal is beyond me as well. I do feel bad for the student athletes as it doesn’t seem like a great environment as many have quit. Fair or not if football or basketball had a coach performing like this there is no way in hell they make it this far into their contract but things aren’t always fair

I hear ya. And I know it's probably an unpopular opinion, but I believe that our female athletes deserve to be put in a position where they can be successful. They currently are not.

Particularly when other women's sports HAVE had success here. And are currently. It’s worth investing in female athletes.

When posting a statement like that elicits a response like Gus's, yes, I do think it's an unpopular opinion. Many in our fanbase don't seem to give a damn about the Aggies unless it's the men's basketball or football teams.

Interesting. Not sure how much of a rando’s word I’d take as authentic. But I’ll say that I think the roster and staff turnover over Kayla’s tenure speaks for itself.

if a poster on a social media fan site back in the late 90's before social media was really a thing, can get a D1 FB coach who lost to ybu by 1 point fired after his second year on the job, you'd think we should be able to get our Women's BB coach fired on the spot by now.

From what I've heard, it's been a pretty toxic environment for far longer than just this season. But unfortunately, "being a terrible person" doesn't automatically qualify as legal grounds for dismissal.

As for the actual timing of her firing, her contract states that each year goes through April 15th. No idea if that means USU will have to wait until then to give a formal declaration that she's gone or if they'll be able to announce it on the radio broadcast as the buzzer sounds in Vegas.
