No clue if this guy is or isn't an "insider"

I don't see how "significant financial backing" will suddenly make him a better coach...

Goatganda the pearl of Africa
my groupchat went into uconn basketball history

it is actually insane how underrated their dominance is/was

briana Stewart won 4 titles and was MVP every year :dead:

1. 2002 UConn (39-0)
Closest NCAA tournament win: 82-70 vs. Oklahoma in national championship game

This team had seven future WNBA players, three of whom are in the Naismith Hall of Fame or soon will be: Cash, Bird and Taurasi. Jones joins those three as an Olympic gold medalist. And Williams, Jessica Moore and Ashley Battle also played at least six seasons in the WNBA. This gets our vote as not just the best UConn team but is also on the very short list of best teams in women's college basketball history (counting NCAA and AIAW eras).

i forgot a lot of that shyt...uconn wbb > prime alabama :damn:

STORRS!!

Honestly I kind of get it once Caleb went down it was pretty much it, even if they beat VCU they would have got killed the next game. Plus UNC pays coaches cheaply, Davis earns a base salary of $1.25 million per year, along with $1.8 million in supplemental compensation for the 2026 contract year. Better to save that buy out money and invest more in NIL.

Wtf? That's CHUMP change! Especially for a top 4 all-time program


"In his final season (2020-21) at UNC, Roy Williams had a total compensation package of approximately $4.17M his total included his base salary, supplemental income, and bonuses."

:dahell: $4M for THREE TIME National Champion and top 3 all-time coach, Roy Williams?!

fukking Chris Jans at MISSISSIPI STATE has $4.2M/year

Boheim is another guy who also made pennies his whole career
