Anyone who has read this forum knows what I think of Coach Brooke. But, in the strictest definition of the term, I'm not ready to proclaim her a "great" coach....yet. She is without a doubt a "very good" coach, and she has all the attributes you could want in a coach. That includes all the off-the-court stuff too. She has stepped in when this once dominant program was wallowing, following back to back coaching mistakes. As much as I love Spoon, and still say she is the best player to ever don the Techster uniform, she failed as a coach. And Summit, who I NEVER supported as our choice, was an absolute disaster! Louisiana Tech WBB needed someone like Brooke at this time.
Brooke will have her chance to achieve "great coach" status. In the meantime, she will restore much of the luster that is Lady Techster basketball.
Have to keep in mind, we've had only one "great coach" in our history of WBB. That's not easy to reach.
...and Louisiana Tech has not had too many "great" coaches in all the other sports either.
