No, Pitt is. Even if it is in the ACC, it's still sort of a mid-major.

Seems like Andy waited about a decade too long.
What is Walz' situation at Lou?
He could get out from ND's shadow and rule the SEC for years.

They were in the Sweet 16 two years ago. He could have sat back and taken a big pay check for a few years without anyone questioning him. I respect him for leaving on his own accord.

| What about Bernadette Locke Mattox? She is legendary at UGA, she has lots of experience, and she seems like she would be able to relate to parents/kids to get good recruits. Not to mention the notoriety of her name. SEC Network is doing a special on her. Thoughts?

She was not very successful in her first head coaching stint at Kentucky

| True - but in fairness, she DID help the men to a title. Additionally, I looked at the caliber of recruits she was getting in at UK, and they were definitely elite level recruits. The death stroke for her was the fact that like 6 or 7 transferred suddenly at the same time. Of course that can be partially on her - but now that she is older and wiser - maybe worth a second look?

| Quentin Hillsman? Heck of a good coach and recruits well, doesn't get much fan support at Syracuse.

I promise you don't want Bernadette Mattox as your coach. She demolished our program and ran off more players than you can imagine. Her recruits were not elite level athletes. The only thing good about Mattox was that we were able to get Mickie DeMoss to come in after her.

And in what way is she "legendary" at UGA? (I've never heard of her before)

All Gottlieb's American players are from California.
We've seen this before--I don't think it's a good idea to take coaches out of their "zone" so-to-speak unless they are really exceptional. |
Cal recently signed 2 out of state players, and during Lindsey Gottlieb's first time coaching at Cal there were also some out of state players, which I assume she had a hand in their recruiting. While she was at UC Santa Barbara she was also able to sign some out of state players. Of course SEC is a lot different than the Big West, but if she has the contacts out there and connections to all the big time coaches from around the country I don't think she will have that big of an issue. And of course a lot of it also depends on what assistant coaches she brings on as well, if she gets 1 or 2 assistant coaches with SEC ties and/or SEC area connections it would make a big difference as well. |
Good.! No reason Cal shouldn't be able to reach beyond the state to get some players. They are being hurt in their depth by that one year when they didn't get anybody, but once that is fixed they should be in good shape.
I like Gottleib at Cal, I just don't think it would be the smartest hire for UGA if they can find someone comparable with more ties to the region.

According to her WNBA Coaches bio she was the first All-American and Academic All-American in Georgia history.

| What about someone like Coquese Washington? Not a good year for Penn State, but she has some great results there and can recruit the state of Georgia

Tell you who I would go after...Coach Abe at Albany. She played 2 years at Georgia and then transferred to finish her career at Iowa due to family things (she's a native of Cedar Rapids). She has been an assistant as well as a head coach at a few different locations and various levels. Her team has now made 4 straight NCAA appearances, almost upsetting Duke yesterday.
I don't know if she'd be interested as she has quite a nice thing going at Albany and is enjoying lots of success. That said, she would be a tremendous hire IMO.

Does not mean she can coach! She pretty well proved that at Kentucky, IIRC.

Because she currently has 3 kids from the state of Georgia on her roster.

I didn't say anything about coaching, I was responding to the part about what makes her "legendary" at Georgia.

Granted, Cal doesn't have GA's history, but it's certainly been "better-known" than UGA in recent season and post-season accomplishments.
