Oso planning to go pro
If this is true, it certainly speaks volumes about the lack of respect and seriousness for the MU Women's Basketball program. Men's coach is selected by the AD and President. Women's coach by an Assistant AD?
Maybe this is common knowledge and I’m late to game, but just learned thru a fairly well connected MU booster that Consuegra is related to an Asst AD at MU…. This may have been done before it started. Sad.
I don't think anyone is saying the Assistant AD is the one making the final decision. But I think it's also fairly common to have someone below the AD be very much involved in the search for non-revenue sports coaches.
Some things are not always what they seem. Has the thought occurred to anyone that teasing Consuegra helps her situation at Charlotte after several “uneven” years there? Makes it look like she’s in demand a bit. Has the thought occurred to anyone that teasing Barnes and Harper was an attempt to give MU a small boost in social media as opposed to them being serious candidates for the position? (I thought it was silly and short sighted too for those that think that)Again, there are 3 people leaking names to Skim/Trilly. When Kim Caldwell was hired, the two people teased for the position were Lawson and Walz. Lawson for example didn’t even interview for the position. Yet there she was, full cartoon.
I fully admit I wanted Harper or Gillespie. That isn’t happening. So mediocre, here we come. Just announced. Consuegra. Brutal hire. 28-34 in past 2 years. Obviously they are cutting back on caring about WBB. Fan base will follow that lead.
It’s official finally - https://x.com/marquettewbb/status/1780643673245397289?s=46&t=qmHojXzONY0z7kSh4Cq1Rg
Aside from a picture of her head in a tweet, there doesn’t seem to be any reason to think Consuegra is the choice.
Disappointing hire. Hope to be proven wrong.Kind of feels like the number one job criteria was to hire someone who wont leave the program for a better job.It would be like the men's program hiring Wardle after a 2 week search. Yuck.Interesting to see who she brings in and how bad a season we could expect this upcoming year.
If it’s true that Toledo offered more money than MU, that’s really depressing. What did Duffy make when she first got to MU?
