Our awful Men's basketball team would handily beat the best women's college team.
quote:
Since everybody seems so entrenched in the belief that a woman couldn't coach a men's college basketball team, please tell us why.
quote:
1) women's basketball is a much easier game to coach than men's basketball (this is not a reflection on Patrick Summitt's coaching ability).
quote:
2) if she wanted to, a coach like summitt could break into the mens game, but she would have to go to the lowest level (d-3) and have success before getting offers at the small school d-1 jobs. If she was successful there, she could move to a big conference d-1 job.
quote:
3) a female coach would not be able to recruit top players at a d-1 program.
quote:
4) women's basketball at its highest level is still not as good as a varsity level boys high school team.
quote:
Is there any evidence anywhere of this? Why is it easier?
quote:
Why? Taking a risk on a woman coach wouldn't be any bigger risk than taking a chance that a guy from UTEP would have success in the Big 12.

Give Pat Summit 2 months to practice a typical Div 2 college team of men and I would wager a year's salary that her team could beat this year's A&M team.

This is perhaps the dumbest, most ignorant statement I've ever read on Texags

However, it was quickly trumped by this gem, which is without a doubt the stupidest statement I've ever read on the entire Internet. Please tell me this is a joke. I would take that bet at 1-100 odds any day of the week.
