You do realize the portal was around when Shannon was coaching right? Not that she ever used it, but boy did her players use it.mthoopsfan said:UMFan12 said:Shannon went 52-69 in 4 years only one T5 finish. Takes time to rebuild a program the last long term coach left in the dumps. In 2 years he already has a season with a better finish than any of hers(19-11/12-8). Context matters
And not one Big Sky tournament win, even with the new era of the Portal and transfers. Facts matter. The coach is off to a slow start.
In 19-20, the LG under Shannon were 17-13 and 12-8. So, it took the new coach 2 years to win 2 more games and have the same conference record. Wow, what great progress.
And the next time you say Holsinger is off to a slow start I’ll remind you that he wasn’t exactly handed the keys to the Cadillac and he got the job at the end of the pandemic season. So ya I think he gets a pass for his first 2 seasons
