What is going on? This seems so weird to me. So our defensive coach is moving to a rival school where he has our entire play book memorized. Something is off here.

FWIW - I saw him come in on Sunday in a personal car (not a 'dealer's plate' car) with a box. I didn't say anything to him (he didn't give off a good/welcoming vibe) I wish him well and am excited to see who we get

Sometimes change is good for everyone involved. I appreciate Coach Starkey's time here, but also look forward to seeing who fills that spot as our defensive coach.

agree with this, and i have to be honest, it does seem like there has been some tension between GB and Starkey. he is always praising Bond White (and that's totally fine bc she deserves it), but the last 4-5 games of the season, it really seemed like Starkey just sat on the sidelines and wasn't involved much.

I agree, I hope Coach Blair can go find someone that can get the fire back in the defensive effort of the team. It seems to me that Starkey's defense was really up and down this year and in the tournament it looked like he didn't have an answer to what the other teams' offense was doing.

I thought his year we played swarm team defense like we did under Vic, but seems like after SC we reverted back to soft defensive team.

I wonder if GB is looking to retire soon. This might have influenced the decision. If GB does retire, would Vic leave t.u.to return to Aggieland as head coach?

We need a better recruiter, who can also coach defense.

GB needs a coach who can coach the D and coach a 5 position player to develop some moves on O and how to make a layup!

I'm not sure how many of you followed Aggie Women's Basketball before Gary Blair, my guess is not many! I think Gary has earned the right to choose when he wants to retire and when he does I hope we go with Kelly Bond! Thanks and Gig'em

I followed them and we all agree that GB has been a tremendous builder for our women's programs and women's basketball in general. Having said that, I think it's dangerous to say someone has earned the right to be done when they are ready. I think he could have a few good years left in him, but it's time to start thinking about a transition and getting the best coach we can for the money we are willing to pay. Something seems to be going on internally, so I guess we will see what happens.

Seems to me he left to coach with an old friend in Johnnie at Auburn.

If the admin hasn't thought that GB might retire, they should be replaced!

Is something unusual about that? He will always be one of her coaches and mentors.

Probably not. We won't ever really know though. Just thought I'd share.

I'm looking forward to a new defensive coach announcement. Anyone on the inside know if any coaches have been seen interviewing?
