Women's basketball isn't exactly a power sport, but I think the Clemson community in general wants them to succeed and excel. I'd certainly like to have a team that can knock off UNC and Duke with regularity, and just in general be a team that we can all be proud of.

consistent in producing good teams under Jim Davis, to become this terrible after his forced retirement by TDP and President Barker. There have been several sports that we used to be good where pretty much no good at now. Another one of President Barker's many failing. It would make President Barker plenty of happy if Clemson didn't have an athletic's program at al.

I gave you a thumbs up

Primarily because the sheep on here will likely blast you because of the truth you spoke.
The question we all should ask is what part of our athletic program is better off now compared to when Barker and/or TDP took over? I got football and Golf. Anything else?

Easy to make post such as that and hide behind a user name. Bet neither of you have ever been really involved with Clemson sports. I know you were never students.

The issues with the women's basketball team aren't because

of the current head coach. I assure you the major issues were inherited. I think we still need to give Coleman more time as the program was a complete train wreck when she came in. It hasn't improved as of yet, but I still think one of Coach Davis' best deserves the shot to rebuild it.
You have to know she is doing many of the same things that Coach Davis did. I just hope we see improvement next year so that people will give her more time.

Here's my problem with your post.
While you are likely correct and I certainly appreciate your post (to a degree), there is NO information to support your position. There seems to be some thought by "Clemson Insiders" that we fans can't handle the truth or don't deserve to know "the truth" or the inside story or whatever.
We fans are the ones that support the program financially, attend the games, live and breath our Tigers. Yet, we never get any meat with the vegetables.
I realize some things are "confidential" but it seems like there are more things that fall into this category than not. It gets old and frustrating quite honestly as I'm 51, have my own small business and can probably deal with some of the unsavory issues better than the insiders obviously think.

Respectfully...I completely disagree with your assessment.

Hiring Coleman, who was completely unqualified to be a head coach, was an even bigger lapse in judgment than hiring Christy McKinney.
Holly Warlick wanted the job when McKinney was hired and it was a monumental mistake not to hire her.
Of course, when Pat Summit's health issues surfaced, it is likely that Tennessee would have hired her way from Clemson but the program would likely have been in much better shape than it currently is.

I'll try to answer all three of you as best I can with this

one post.
I'd imagine like most of you, that you would run a team the same way or similarly to how your coach ran the team. This is where I have to believe that Coleman will get things turned around. She was in and around Coach Davis and I'd imagine based on his knowledge of her as a leader and coach on the court that he would support her hiring.
As for being "green" or perhaps hired too early in her career, the argument could be made. But the program was at an all time low when she took over. She is an ace recruiter and I still think its too early to judge. No doubt losing the top two players is a huge question mark.
Were there better hires that could have been made? Yes. Was there anyone out there who would be as invested in Clemson? I don't think so. I'm not advocating for ten more years, but she deserves a legitimate time frame to fix the issues.
I'll admit that I am not satisfied with the progress yet, but I also think she can recruit, knows how Jim Davs built his program, and is as disappointed at the slow progress as everyone else.
Any errors should be blamed on my iPhone

Armsb there are a lot of things to the transfers. Each is
Feb 20, 2013, 2:22 PM

it's own individual case. I do know that they transfers had nothing to do with a belief that the program wasn't headed in the right direction. When the time is right I'll be glad to tell you what I've gathered, but until then we will just have to wait.
I wouldn't count out Coach Coleman's ability to put a good team together. Like I said before with more time, I think she can get this program back to what we all expect.

The program was already in a downward spiral...

which was exacerbated by the decision to hire another "project" coach with only a marginal (at best) coaching resume.
If you are going to roll the dice on a project type coach, at least hire someone with a solid resume; Kevin Pederson as an example who is currently the head womens coach at Lander University.
Many may remember Pederson worked five seasons for the Clemson men's basketball program under Rick Barnes and Larry Shyatt before becoming the head womens coach at Anderson College.

Lander is a better job and pays a higher salary.
