You offered only 2 possibilities, both of which impugn one party or the
other. How about they just disagree about whether Baker is a fit at the 3 or not? That's the simplest, and most graceful, interpretation. But you decided that wasn't possible, "it MUST be ...." That's trash.
Baker may be leaving for more money. But you don't know that. There is zero to suggest any friction between coach and player. So that one you just created out of thin air.
If Baker wants to play the 3 the fact is she isn't going to get that opportunity at VT. She's not a 3 in Duffy's system. That's a fact. I suggest sticking to those instead of making up your own story lines.

Is Lanie Grant from the Richmond area a take for us for next season?

Don't think she'd come to VT. But maybe UVa. Is from Richmond.
