I'm shocked that the administration pulled the trigger on firing Teresa Weatherspoon, but it had to be done.

Teresa saved our butts after she took over for Chris Long and led the team to the Women's NIT & two trips to the NCAA Tournament in her first three seasons. However, the bottom fell out shortly afterward. The program had to change direction after two straight losing seasons and no improvement on the horizon.

Either the talent isn't there, or the players aren't being developed to their full potential. Both cases don't reflect well on the head coach after three straight struggling seasons.

I wish Teresa Weatherspoon the best and thank her for her years of service to the university as a player and coach. From here, it's onward and upward for the Lady Techsters.

The only celebrating to do here is that Tech now has the athletic and university administration with the cojones to make decisions that have to be made. We couldn't say that this time last year. And that bodes well for the future of Tech athletics.

Not saying it is not the correct decision, but it makes me sad. I wish her the best.

I agree. But, you can't let emotion get in the way of rational thinking. The move was the right decision to make.

Kim Mulkey.
OK. There. I typed her name.
Can that be the last time we see it in this post? Probably not.

Kim should be offered the job first. I realize she probably won't accept such a cut in pay, but we'll never know if we don't ask. Another candidate to consider is VJ

I'm sure there are many others to consider too.

How about Brooke and Scott Stoehr from Northwestern State?

This is the first time the Women's Basketball Forum has had more visitors than football and mbb in a long time.

Dittos - this board has so many of these so called "Fans" who only thrive on stuff like this and making intelligent comments like "stick it up yours.."

Bulldogbacker2 is an NLULM fan trolling on here. I think he/she should have been banned a long time ago.

Now, I would not mind la. Select coaching this team Coach TSpoon was finally able to put together that is sure to take the program forward!
Just a sad day for me that she will not be there to coach the team she finely worked so hard to get together for LaTech!

You know La. Select and VJ are cousins!

I cannot celebrate Spoon being let go. My wishes have always been for the Techsters to do well, though. I hope Tech made the right decision. We turned a chapter and I wish nothing but the best to Spoon for the future. No matter what happened on the court the last couple of years, she has been a great ambassador for Louisiana Tech from the time she stepped on campus as a player until now. I hope she will continue to support the program!

They say there is no timetable, but they better act quick. We do not want to lose any current players or recruits. Next year was the best class on paper in years.

Congrats to the admin for making an adult decision. Now that they know how, let's see them repeat it by dumping Sim as well.
