with women winning-DRad looks...

Like all his hires here have been solid. She went from five wins last season to about 13 so far. Monte Lee also. To me this adds ammunition that he knows he can let Brad go and find a better hire. Think it will be on the plate in March.

Fourteen wins for the women thus far. This is nice improvement for the team over last season and hopefully starts a season by season rise.
Go Tigers!

5 wins up to 14 is pretty dang good. 3 conference wins is good enough for CBB so far.

I would love to see Audra Smith succeed

and make our WBB program a solid conference/tournament contender every year. I'm glad to hear she's starting to win in the second half of the season.
That being said, her program still has a long, long way to go. Just a few weeks ago they were beat by FSU 86-27 *at home*. That's beyond bad. A lot of their other losses have been similarly awful. She also had an 8-game losing streak to start conference play, and the 3 ACC wins we've picked up have been against fellow cellar-dwellars. No ACC team we've beaten has more than 3 conference wins.
If SCar can turn their basketball program around I see no reason why we can't do the same thing. It's very frustrating to watch them consistently land in the bottom of the standings.

She has a 2 players coming in at 6ft and about 6'3" those 2 along with Thornton should give her more power and length up front. I think this team will be a very tough out. She's slow but the program is turning the corner. Hope she gets another year.

I hope so too. I think she's a great ambassador for Clemson. And she did inherit an awful mess. But I'm not sure how much more time she'll be given.

In fairness.....

If you remember....she inherited a dumpster fire. She has had to bascially tear it down and build it back up and she is just now starting to reap the benefits of her work. They are not world beaters yet but she is obviously taking steps in the right direction.

It was fine w Davis but the PC witches didnt like that so they screw him over and the botch several HC hires big time. Many heads should roll over this debacle not just another HC

Give her the same opportunity the men's coach has been

given. That is the only fair thing to do. Otherwise you look like a hypocrite.
DRad may can her to instead of Brownell to give the impression of demanding excellence and taking charge.
