I think we would all agree our program is not where we want it.
We can all sit back and say "shoulda, coulda, or woulda" about a number of situations with our program. Does this solve anything?
Are we recruiting the kind of players we need, whether that mean in character, quality, or even position? I believe that answer is no. This finger should point to the coach.
In the Lady Techsters "hay day", I was not around to see the crowds we drew to the TAC, but I would imagine they would dwarf the current crowds. Did we do anything to capitalize on our success during that period (i.e. marketing and promotions)? Clearly that answer is no, because if we had capitalized on that then, we would not be where we are now. The budget would be of such that we could hang with the "big girls." This finger should be pointed at our athletic administration and university administration.
Loyal Techster fans, where are you? You love your Techsters so much, however we have a few bad years after LB and you jump ship. In order to sustain a program in the eyes of our Athletic department, they have to see people who care! They do not see that. This finger is pointed at US (the fans).
So, when you sit back and say FIRE LONG, I'm totally understand. But also, step back and look at what has happened to get us to this point. We should never have gotten to this point.
Do you honestly think we will get back to National Prominence in women's basketball? It will be a LONG time (no pun intended) if ever when we do. Women's basketball is not the money maker that Men's Basketball and Football are and as a result we will not pour the amounts of money into that program as we have the others.
The glory days are gone, and possibly gone for good. If you want something done about where we are do something about it.
