PSU gets lucky

Everyone better watch out. PSU recently signed the best college hoops coach around, former UOP and Wazzu HC Sherri Murrell, as HC. The Hottie is going to tear everyone in the Sky new rear ends. Man, I wish she'd gone to Sac instead. The Vikes just won the Sky in my book.

:shocked:
 
Are you being somewhat sarcastic there, 'SuperHornet?' I mean, sure she may have been the 'ex' HC of Washington State, but, huh, what was her record? Let's see, in 2003-04 it was 2 - 26; in 2004-05 it was 6 - 22, a little improvement there and in 2005-06 it was again 6 - 22 with a loss in Pullman to the LG 08 Dec 2006 71 - 60. Combined record of 14 wins and seventy losses there at Wazzu. And a step down from a PAC-10 to Portland St no less for a reward. Whoopie!!!
 
Did you see her record at UOP? She resurrected that program before going to that impossible situation in Pullman. Sherri's record in Pullman is directly related to the impossibility to recruit to Pullman. The reason the UOP women's program is in the cr@pper right now is that her successor ran it into the ground. HIS successor is just now trying to repeat what Sherri did.

Speaking of steps down, the previous PSU coach resigned to take over a D-II program. That's a bit more of a "step down" in my book.
 
Did you see her record at UOP?

Have you seen Robin's record at Montana?? I seriously doubt PSU is going to threaten the BSC dominance UM has enjoyed in women's BB over the last 20 years.

This may be your most uninformed post ever SH. "The Hottie is going to tear everyone in the Sky a new rear end"? Do tell.

Here is a little info on Lady Griz Coach Robin Selvig:

After nearly three decades on the UM sideline, the depth of Selvig's numbers are monumental. In 28 seasons, he has posted 26 winning seasons, 24 20-win seasons and 645 wins. He has coached the Lady Griz to 20 national tournament appearances (16 NCAAs) and 19 conference championships, for which he has been recognized as the conference coach of the year 16 times. He has coached one all-American, 10 conference MVPs, 72 all-conference selections and 87 academic all-conference players.

Selvig's .774 career winning percentage and 645 victories both rank him among the top 10 winningest active Division I women's basketball coaches.

That success has placed his name among the woman's game's most recognized figures in coaching today, and he recently joined the rarified air of Kentucky's Adolph Rupp, UCLA's John Wooden, Kansas's Phog Allen and North Carolina's Dean Smith.

When Montana defeated Portland State on March 6, 2004, Selvig reached 600 career wins, doing so in just 772 games. That made the Lady Griz coach the sixth-fastest coach in NCAA history to reach No. 600, in all NCAA divisions, men's or women's, trailing the likes of Rupp (704), Tennessee's Pat Summitt (734) and Wooden (755), but reaching the milestone faster than Smith (773) and Allen (780).

By the way, Selvig is 31-8 against PSU and 20-0 (see tore your team a new rear end) against your almighty Sac State Hornets

Well, for how ever long it will last with this link, there is some information. Does 'SuperHornet' know how hard it is to get 'any' information out on Univ. of Pacific basketball? It's like it hardly exists!

At least one article of news says she went, like, 68 - 46 in four years with a 19 -11 record, supposedly their best, I guess, in 2002-03. Then off to Washington St. in 2003-04 as HC there.
 
It's a good hire.. PSU is throwing support into their m/w hoops programs. This is a beginning of suppport to fight for the BSC.

Football/Basketball. The day is coming........
