Not a chance. She left the VCU head coach position to return to Notre Dame as an assistant. Either she is waiting to take over for McGraw or she is making way more money then we could pay her. either way, it won't happen.
I honestly couldn't tell you any specific names but I have a "wish-list" of characteristics I'd like to see:
-ties to the Region
-Potential to be a strong recruiter
-Cost-effective option. I'm not for the idea of ponying up big $ to hire someone on their initial contract. If the coach proves they can succeed then reward them in their second contract/extension.

-Cost-effective option. I'm not for the idea of ponying up big $ to hire someone on their initial contract. If the coach proves they can succeed then reward them in their second contract/extension. [T-5]
Adding [with my priorities in brackets]...
- Winning D-I experience as a low mid-major level D-I HC or a Top D-I Mid-Major assistant [1]
- Demonstrated developmental skills [T-3]
- Demonstrated in-game management skills [T-3]
- Ability to attract good assistants [7]
* While I see the positive aspect of NW Indiana ties, Valpo WBB, like MBB, competes for talent in the region against ND, Purdue and maybe to a lesser extent IU. The next coach needs to have D-I feelers and contacts out in what MLB was quoted as saying "a wider net" to make us MVC-competitive.

While you are probably correct, there is much more to the VCU story than simply returning to ND.

Never in a million years. I can't tell if you are being sarcastic, but he is not ever going to be an option at Valpo. He can stay at D-3 Mary-Hardin Baylor.
The next coach will not be young. She or he will be expererienced and will bring intangibles to the table that MLB thinks will put us over the top. Our model will be UWGB. UWGB 's roster has no player from outside the state of Wisconsin. How the heck does he do it?

Just my opinion - The biggest problem we've had the last 6 years is the lack of ability to develop young players. This level of play requires a coach that can take these players and their talents, and help to develop them into the best they can be to compete at the D1 level. This staff has seemed to operate on the "plug and play" philosophy, bringing in players and expecting them to continue on with the roles they played in high school. This may work for a D2 program, but you can't have success in D1 with that mentality. It always seems that the teams these past several years have gotten worse fundamentally, and we don't see the progress we should see. I've always felt we have to bring in someone that knows how to work with the bigs, inside. I thought maybe Rees would be that guy. Our inside game has been awful. Our footwork and block out skills have been non-existent for a long time.
If this school is serious about winning, they need to bring someone in that understands how to coach at this level.
My :twocents:
Pick some programs that we want to emulate - Notre Dame, Baylor, Green Bay, Drake, S. Dakota St, among others come to mind. If we can somehow talk to the head coaches at these places, even if only through email, to get a sense of what is required (training facilities, AD support, Admin support, etc.) to be successful at the Division I level. Then ask for what skills are necessary from a HC to be successful. Then inquire if they know of any young assistants that are eager to make their mark at a University such as Valparaiso.
Reach out to Scott Drew to see if any assistant in the Baylor women's program would be willing to take on VU. I'd really be looking at the GB assistants, since they are familiar with our program.
Good luck to ml!
I would think that Green Bay coaches, all of them would be a good starting point
UWGB WBB is an incredibly unique situation. Coach Borseth has been there for two stints bookending 5 years as HWBB coach at the U of Michigan. He has an 18 year D-I record of 410-158. His assistants, all women, are from WI (2), MN (1) and SD (1). What makes UWGB distictive is that they usually have a roster made up entirely of kids from Wisconsin. This year there is a little break with that in that they have two freshmen from out of state (MN and SD). They are very young (only 2 seniors, one of whom is their top scorer) but still earned a #7 seed in the 2018 NCAA Tourney.
Wisconsin is not reknowned for producing world class basketball players, yet UWGB consistently wins year-in and year-out. So it has got to come down to player development. Actually, Borseth has two coaches with "player development" as a part of their "expanded" job title.

So.............. what does this tell us about who MLB is REALLY going after? Which schools is he targeting? Neither Dave or Kate were head coaches. Does that mean he's looking at up-and-coming top assistants? Is he focusing on PRIVATE D-I WBB programs? What's your guess?

Not sure if you are serious, but I'll take the bait! Dana Shaw is Homer and Janet's daughter. She is married to Casey Shaw, former NBA player and current Vanderbilt assistant coach. Dana was an All-American at Toledo and MAC POY twice. She is also a lawyer and Bryce's agent.
I had no idea. thanks!

Sadly, setshot is no longer with us. He passed away in September of 2015.

Thanks ML2. I had a a feeling that might be the case. He was quite a character that I only knew from this message board and its predecessors. He liked to stir things up. Never knew his name.

You're welcome Valpo89. If you want to know more you should ask ml next time you see him. They exchanged calls/emails a few times I think. Not sure if they ever met in person. setshot was an alum - class of '57 - and obviously cared a great deal about the University and the basketball program.

Tim Moser enters his sixth season as an assistant coach with the Colorado State women's basketball program in 2017-18
Colorado State has made huge strides since Ryun Williams has become head coach and bringing Moser on his staff.
Moser has spent his years at CSU cultivating recruiting ties in the US and overseas and getting that "D1 experience" in preparation for a HC gig. He is ready and will make some AD look very smart for hiring him. While coaching D2 in Alaska I believe his record vs D1 schools (at the Great Alaska Shootout) was something like 9-3 beating school like Syracuse and Cincinnati to name a couple.
Here is another CSU name: Becky Hammon. She removed her name from consideration for the CSU Men's HC position.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Becky_Hammon
I know this is a vote for who we would like the next coach to be but....
I feel if we land a coach that stresses fundamentals (especially on the defensive side of the ball)!
Use the players abilities that you have - there are some athletes that can run the floor on this team
they never pushed the ball. Women's hoops is 75% transition. Play selfless ball (easier said than done) -
there are a few girls on this team that are more worried about their stats than wins. That needs to STOP
immediately.
Darrow and her clone Rees continued to throw out the same lineup day in and day out the last three years or so
with the same result. They never changed anything and expected different results.
Bring in a good coach with a previous winning record (or assistant at a winning D1 school) stressing fundamentals,
they could probably get this team to 4 or 5 games above .500 in a year or two. They have some talent they just
have not had good coaching.
Indiana State just made a very good hire. Hopefully we can land a similar quality person.

Yes, StlVUFan is active on twitter - not sure why he hasn't posted on here since last July.
LAA took an absence after his second child was born. He sometimes still logs on to read the board, but has not posted in three years.
StlVUFan still posts on here. I know this, as every time he posts, I just have to bring up his man love for Greg Kampe :)
