Dawn Staley interviewed for Knicks HC job

[18IsTheMan]

Whether it is a step down or not has absolutely nothing to do with all these women's threads that you have been starting. It's obvious that women that don't follow the little box that you place them in trigger you. It's almost comical. I think I remember you saying you graduated from Bob Jones. So, I am not surprised. Oh, I am stereotyping. My bad. LOL!!!

Our head coach interviewed for the Knicks job. That’s thread worthy.

Is it curious that that the WNBA is not a step up for WBB coaches? On the contrary, it's a major step down. It would be a demotion to go from coaching college basketball to WNBA.

The same for top college WBB players. They'll make more playing college ball than they will in the WNBA.

It’s nothing to do with whether I like it or not. It is a step down from women’s college basketball. Indisputable.

I don't know if college basketball is indisputably better than WNBA but I can say that I prefer college. Probably because I have a dog in the fight with the Gamecocks and I watch a lot more of college. I can also say that I can't stand the WNBAs off the court political BS (pay equality) and the fact they are toxically jealous of Caitlin Clark's popularity.

I have been bothering him because I think I know the answer, but he won't be honest enough to admit. 18 appears to me to have this rigid thought of where men and women are supposed to be in life. It's not about women's athleticism or lack thereof. If that was true, he would not have a problem with Dawn Staley or any women coaching men. Don't need athleticism to coach. How many threads have you seen from him denouncing Geno coaching UConn's women's team? It's about men having dominion over everything, but women being forced to remain in their place. The women he goes on about don't stay in their place. So, he has a problem with them.

Your theory may very well be correct. I can't understand that thought process and I can tell you I enjoy women's sports....sometimes more than the men's. You just have to realize it is basically a different game. I have 5 kids and both of my daughters played their sport at the collegiate level.....so not hard for me to appreciate women's sports.

Please tell me you did not just refer to your daughter as a dog.

 

[Skuddy]

Please tell me you did not just refer to your daughter as a dog.

No, just that the Gamecocks are my team. My daughter didn't play for the gamecocks but did have a winning record against several of the girls on the Carolina tennis team.

The NBA and NCAA WBB are totally different worlds.
Going from coaching young women to grown men. The pressure to win from MBB to WBB is much at higher at the College level. Even higher at the pro-level. It’d be interesting to see her in that environment.
