I don't disagree with you; but what I remember from 2011 is the national championship; not the fact that we weren't conference champions. I do agree that we had a special team. Something seemed to have happened after that SC win, though. The team just didn't look the same although they put their hearts on the floor every game. There's no denying that.
Let me ask you a question, I'm honestly curious...do we have the money to pay $2.5m a year? If yes, then why wouldn't we pay that if our goals are championships? Having asked that, I don't know what the ultimate goals are for the women's basketball program. If the answer is no, then how many more years to you give GB before moving on? Do you allow him to coach 10 more years if he wants? What is the deciding factor for you? I am not disputing how he's moved our program leap years ahead of where it was. GB is a legend and we should all be thankful for what he has done. I just don't see how a 75 year old man keeps up with the rigors of a high level D1 basketball program. I ask these questions hoping to have an open and honest dialog moving forward. It's obvious many of us disagree, but I think we can have a good discussion. I want to win national championships for every athletic program at Texas A&M. Those would be my goals. If I felt as an athletic director that we were not heading in that direction, then I would have discussions about what it would take to get there.
