My list of possible WBB coaches - adding one I don't think we've discussed
Tired of the KB discussion. He's gone, let's move on.
Hopefully Whit is willing to spend $ to keep the WBB train rolling. Maybe even keep some of our existing players. To do so, I think he needs to get an offensive minded coach. Here's my list of possible replacements
1. Lindsday Edmonds (Rice). She seems to be the favorite of this board. Not my favorite but I'd be happy if she comes.
2. Megan Duffy (Marquette) - Rising star, reported that she interviewed for Pitt job last year so I think she's open to leave.
3. Aaron Roussell (Richmond) - Won everywhere he goes. He should be ready to coach at P5. Would be similar to our hiring CKB 8 years ago.
4. Karl Smesko - if you like driving to basket he's your coach. Dribble drive offensive, his team either shoots a lay-up or a 3 pointer.
I think Karl is intriguing but of this list my preference is Megan. Not sure we've discussed her as a possiblity.
It will be interesting to see what names are floated around. If history is a guide, once a name is floated we know they won't be the choice 😎

Tweet says Whit contacting mid-major coaches - if true then rule out 1 or 2

My biggest concern with Roussell is that he'd depart in 3 to 5 years...
