Can Rutgers women's basketball salvage season without Kiyomi McMiller? West Coast trip could decide postseason fate
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
Who knows? She has not played the last few games. No reason has been given. It could be she is injured? Is it for disciplinary reasons? Something happened in the locker room a few weeks ago but nobody is talking. She was on the bench last game but in street clothes.
This program is the worst program at Rutgers and is just an embarrassment another Hobbs f up
No AD or not she needs to be let go the second the horn sounds after the last game
Did McCancer even travel with the team out there?
For a good laugh watch the first half of their game in Maryland. She obviously was trying to prove something to Brenda Frese (who didn't offer her) and in hometown area... She was chucking non-stop from deep and over dribbling, going nowhere, turning it over, it was embarrassing.

This season might not be salvageable and Quese let go at the end of it , while Kiyomi is told the program feels it best she moves on and hasa fresh start somewhere else.
Meaning RU will need someone to help the program start out fresh itself and needs to find someone that can make it a winner .
A long shot gamble that might be worth a shot is Molly Miller the Grand Canyon (Phoenix AZ) women's basketball HC
She's only 38 , makes $250,000 as the Antelopes HC
Overall: 265–52 (.836)
Grand Canyon Record: 85–35 (.708) (24-2 this season)

There's no question she is a great coach, but hasn't obviously been at the highest levels. Managed to beat Arizona this year.
One of the issues is how she would translate into not only a major conference but also the east coast environment. She grew up in Springfield, Missouri, coached Drury College in Springfield Missouri before getting the Grand Canyon job.
Also, it would be a huge cultural change. Although GCU is in Phoenix, it is a private Christian university. Definitely not a description of Rutgers.
All the drawbacks you mentioned makes it a gamble hiring her, but the coaching talent might make it a good one because ,if Washington is bought out , Rutgers will be hiring on the cheap and needs a proven winner for PR and on willing to gamble her career to make a name for herself by a major media market while not asking top dollar to take that gamble .
The Fairfield coach,Carly Thibault-DuDonis, would be a great choice, but I feel RU wouldn't meat her asking price and Thibault-DuDonis would have more suitors that would
Just a reminder that most of the star players who leave Rutgers don't find greener pastures elsewhere for the duration of their careers. With regard to a possible coaching change if it happens after this season, Tennessee has done pretty well with Caldwell whose résumé was questioned. Find someone who has shown she can win over a period of four-to-seven years. Yes, I want a woman to be Head Coach.
RU would and should meet her asking price. Carly is the right choice. Plus she played at Monmouth so she knows the area.
