Good lord. A loss to a terrible Houston team. Seasons over. Good night Vivian.
Start searching for someone with some youth and fire...this and last season were unacceptable here....
For those many folks who are far more intelligent than me: please tell me if there is another coach in women's basketball history that has multiple hundred wins (over 600-700, for example), and had had a crash (less than 10 wins) late in his or her career. Thanks for enlightening me.
Not that I can think of. Some petered out, but still could win. This team may very well win less than 5 games. That is completely and utterly unacceptable and it really pisses me off. To think how highly paid she is, and this is the product she puts out? Disgraceful.
I think we all agree that it's past the point of there being any possible legitimate excuse for the current status of the program. Even die hard optimists have acknowledged that.
There is only one person who shoulders the blame, but I can't decide if she is too proud to point the finger at herself or is in total denial.

This is not defending CVS, but Jim Foster is 3-6 at Chattanooga. The good old days: RU over OSU in the NCAAs in Philadelphia...but then Pat did it to us again.
Hard to imagine this head coach could end up with a worse record than Eddie had last season.
The magical 06-2007 season might as well be a 100 years ago.

I'm glad I was at the Rutgers /Stony Brook game which was a happy ending in front of a very hostile crowd.The bottom line is that the womens team needs to defeat opponents that is perceived inferior to them especially at home.The womens team used to dominate at home but now no game is considered a sure win.Its a sad commentary on how fast times change when top tier recruiting disappears.
Actually, defeat opponents that are perceived (and are, in theory) inferior to them, home and away.
What made RU great (in the day) was that we virtually always beat the teams we should beat, and the style of play made it possible to steal games from teams we were not better than. See our UConn victories and that week of upsets we pulled as examples.
Few of our games this season were against any teams that we shouldn't have beaten (Duke is having a heck of a year, that would have been an upset).
I also agree with your reasoning that the recruiting is a major factor.
