Mike Krezyzewski, Coach K, suffered back-to-back losing seasons @ Duke early in his tenure, 1982 and 1983, and his Army team had two losing seasons during his five-year tenure, including going 9-17 his final year in 1980, all of this happening before winning 5 NC's and 7 Olympic gold medals.
fired Shannon but Mike Petrino finally convinced her to stay in Missoula, who was our interim coach and testified under oath that Shannon didn't physically or verbally abuse her players and that she was a good coach."And the only two-time All American in the history of Carroll College" What about Dani Wagner?I guess former Lady GRIZ and All Big Sky Guard Sophie Stiles that praised Shannon as kind and caring and a good coach, and diplomatically referred to the LG whining about Shannon as " girls that didn't fit into
the system" knows less than you do , 66 ?
And the only two-time All American in the history of Carroll College Jamie Pickens who played for Shannon, transferred to Carroll after Shannon's dismissal by Big Kent--BK--and and gave a sworn affidavit stating that Shannon was a good coach and she enjoyed playing for her also is out to lunch ?
And Mike Petrino, Shannon's right hand assistant testifying that Shannon was a good, passionate coach that didn't mistreat her players also knows less than you ?
But I did find out that Robin Selvig absolutely couldn't stand Shannon, HHB, from a " source."Rob absolutely detested Shannon both as a player, and then he hated her so much that he hired her as his assistant coach for 24 years --that's pure hostility !!! But my " source" wasn't done and enlightened me that JFK was killed by The CIA and Freemasons, not loner Lee Harvey Oswald, the moon landing was faked on a Hollywood movie set, Israel--not Saudi Arabia--was responsible for 9/11, and Elvis is still alive but at the age of 92 is now residing in a nursing home in his native Tupelo, Mississippi, and the RN's and CNA's have to chase The King in his electric blue suede wheel chair out of female resident 's rooms-- I guess once a Hound Dog alwaysa Hound Dog !!!
It is funny that BK folded like a cheap suit once the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals agreed to hear Shannon's civil lawsuit and quickly put up $350,000 of UM's money. Do ya think he was worried about what Rob, Sophie, Jamie, Mike and others were going to tell this appellate panel ?
I would be surprised if Katie is in anyway interested.
Who recruited all of these whining players who didn't fit into the system??Sorry, B Dizzle, Sophie Stiles is a singer of some note--pun intended--I get the two confused. In the interview I read with former LG guard Sophia Stiles, she was very complimentary of Shannon, who recruited her out of Malta, stating that Shannon was very kind and caring and came to visit her in the hospital after her surgery. And she said that the unhappy LG whining about Shannon " didn't fit into our system " and that she was going to transfer after Big Kent
Strongly agree that Payne should be included on a list of potential candidates.
Payne isn't leaving a top Big Sky team to rebuild another Big Sky team. In the last 5 years NAU has 69 Big Sky wins (2nd to MSU). When she leaves, it will be for a much bigger job than UM.
You are likely correct, SACCAT66. Unless you have insider info, I can still hope she'd be interested. As remarkable as her tenure has been, I can't help but think she'd be disappointed that NAU can Not draw 500 fans per home game (481 pg. this season) for that quality program. No disparagement of Havre, but I doubt that a "return" to her native state is all that much of an attraction.
I know from experience that moving from Havre to Missoula is transformative.
A lot of people, including at NAU, don't like her, I am told.
Really? Why?
Missoulian writer Bill Speltz listed her as a possible candidate but not sure if Haslam did.
