Two things about Dooley as AD in regards to Long:
1). Given the fact that the Techsters were the youngest team in the nation, had key injuries, played a decent schedule and still managed a winning record is, by any standard, grounds to allow a coach another year. I am NOT a CL apologist. Just looking at the situation objectively, rather than emotionally.
2). And this is a little different perspective.
I don't think DD cares about the Techsters. Obviously, I could be wrong, but I think Dooley
doesn't want to be bothered about women's basketball and will always take the path of least resistance in dealing with WBB, and other non-revenue sports.
