This is embarrassing on a new level. I'm not a big WBB fan but love it when we are competitive. Good grief...
Transy’s coach may be interested.Not until we change coaches.
Couldn't be any worse for sure.Transy’s coach may be interested.
It's just so terrible to watch. And I say that as a fan of many women's sports - several of which I enjoy the women's version more than the men's.Honestly....nobody cares about women's basketball.
And, yet, here you are in a thread about women's basketball.Honestly....nobody cares about women's basketball.
Nah…she will be gone. It's inexcusable. The talent disparity is just overwhelming these days. Here is the roster:I am a big fan of most UK sports, football, baseball, softball, and both basketball teams. I really think the ladies have just given up. A couple of transfer outs hurt this year as well. Something is going on and we will never know, but I think Elzy is in way over her head. I doubt we will see any changes anytime soon...

This. Out of all the Men’s/Womens sports, basketball has the largest and most obvious gap in quality. And for some reason it’s the one the media propaganda machine has chosen to force down everyone’s throats in the name of “equality”….likely since the wnba is a drain to the NBAs BottomIt's just so terrible to watch.

Women's basketball is almost the most unwatchable sport out there for me. It's awkward looking, rushed, disorganized, sloppy, etc. The only thing that might get me to watch was if UK got to the Final Four. But that would be the first game I watched all year.
You missed the point. It has no support through contractual agreements, is subsidized by other sports. Hence…nobody cares.And, yet, here you are in a thread about women's basketball.
You just end up repeating nobody cares but yet you keep coming back. There are people who care and the program once filled Memorial when Mitchell was coaching so there are obviously many who care. You never mentioned contractual agreements in your first post but what does that have to do with people caring?You missed the point.

i mean we had a good coach and momentum, but his heart got sick.I am a big fan of most UK sports, football, baseball, softball, and both basketball teams.

The Google machine tells me that attendance has been an average of 4,500 people since around 2009 which is a little over half full at Memorial Gym. This data is a few years old and was when they were actually good so I am sure it is much less now. If 10,000 people attended UK men's home games I doubt it would be considered filled. UKWBB draws a little over twice as many people as the volleyball team. The program doesn't make money (It lost $4 million in FY22), ESPN doesn't pay big money to broadcast games, nobody watches when they are on (other than you obviously) and it is a leech on the athletic department. I doubt anyone at UK is interested in overpaying even MORE for a coach for a program that already loses a lot of money.You just end up repeating nobody cares but yet you keep coming back. There are people who care and the program once filled Memorial when Mitchell was coaching so there are obviously many who care.

My Google machine also tells me this:They need to shorten goals and the length of the court - or something. Softball works and is entertaining because its 2/3ds the field size of baseball, women can play on that scale, and the sport moves quickly. Volleyball works because women are capable of making the moves, covering the distances, etc. Basketball has made zero concessions on size/rules/etc. and the speed and height required to be good are not common enough in the female population to make it work as a spectator sport.
