Thanks Phil. As I have stated in numerous posts, (that HD has obviously never read before posting in ignorance) I think KM is a hell of a coach. She knocks down any obstacle that stands in her way. She has chosen coaching, but I think she would have been successful at pretty much any career she chose because to put it plain and simple, she is a winner. Once she sets a goal, she will not be denied. Obviously she is not only one of the best coaches in her sport but she might be THE best coach in her sport and now after this most recent National Championship, I think it is safe to put her in a group of the most elite WBB coaches of all-time.
Now, I actually think she is very valuable to Baylor. Much more than you think I do. In fact I am
almost in agreement with you in how valuable she is to Baylor and I have never argued with you on her popularity in Waco.
Where we disagree is her impact on the other sports at Baylor and more specifically the Won/Loss records of those individual sports. I am adamant that had she built Baylor into a decent WBB program but not won any titles that Baylors FB, MBB, Baseball, Track, and other teams would be in the exact same position they are today and that Baylors new football stadium would still be on it's way and more than that, La. Tech would be in the exact same position we are in today (other than WBB of course which would obviously be much better had she stayed) When you and Champ leave out the other sports we are usually in agreement on KM.
BTW- LOL on the Blind Dog comment.
