We shouldn't lose to a top ten team by 30.....

Unless something drastic happens, I expect KB to be gone after next season.

Didn't they just extend Karen's contract? Anyone know how long is left on it? I have no words for what is going on with this team. This is worse than the year Karen took over and this team seems to be getting worse with each game. At least the Men last year could blame BT's drinking.

These results are pathetic, we have quality players that were highly recruited in goodhope, younger, kelley, minor and oigbokie. Love karen as a person and as a recruiter but Im not too sure about her as a head coach anymore. We have had highly rated recruiting classes the last few years but it doesnt seem like they are being coached well. Atleast Wendy could coach but wasnt a good recruiter.

This is not a shot, I have no opinion on the women's program as I don't follow it closely at all, but it really is intriguing to me that our fans are willing to call out every coach except our men's basketball coach, whomever it may be at a given time. Oh well, I hope they get it together, and I would definitely not expect a new coach next year.

Without marked improvement she will be gone AFTER next year.

She is a great recruiter but she needs to let corrigan coach the game. Together they make a great coaching team but kb needs to learn. The team works for him so let him coach. Corrgian would be extremely successful. If you watch the assistants during the game their show they don't agree with the bench coach.

KB can certainly recruit, but she's being exposed as a very lackluster coach. I hope I'm proven wrong by season's end.

Lady Swish take on the Lady Monarchs, can't argue. At some point we need to win. The step backwards from last year is sad, think we RS ABW and go hard next year.

Last August, Barefoot's contract was extended through 2017-2018. I don't see how it is financially feasible (not to mention prudent) to fire her only 2 years into that deal.

Which donor or donors are forking over the money to pay for the buyout of Barefoot's contract?
Because the AD certainly can't be paying 2 women's bball coaches while the football stadium needs expansion, scholarships need to be increased and increasing coaching salaries just to name the most obvious few.

^agree

Her score card, that the AD uses for many of her grading points she does very well. Interactes well with the Athletic Dept, Getting the APR in good shape, Seems to be recruiting well, No major off-court issues, Attendence. These are the things Wood is looking at, along with winning games. Last year we won 19 and went to the WNIT, that's pretty good. We only lost a couple of players, plus ABW. What happen this year is anybody's guess. Teams we beat last year are killing us this year and it's fustrating, but she isn't getting canned this year or next.

Here's a good take on the team and what's coming next year.
