You're not being a pig. I think a lot of parents feel safe and comfortable that Murrell is a "hottie" like you said. Just stating the truth here but there is still that concern about a coach and a team that maybe lesbian. I think many AD types love having a woman who looks like a woman. That makes them comfortable and the parents of the recruits comfortable. If people don't think that the lesbian thing isn't an issue, well go to any AAU tourney and listen to parents talk.

I've always felt that WSU is a coaching Seberia. They have the lowest budget of any Pac-10 school and it's hard to recruit to the wheat fields of eastern Washington. They haven't had much success in the past five to seven years. While I understand her decision, I would have waited one more year for a better job or even waited until some of the better jobs this year come up. I heard San Diego St was really interested in Murrell.

The nice thing is that she's

Murrell has done a great job. I hate it when good coaches leave the BW but I know it will happen. But UOP should be a good team next year if like you said players don't transfer or the new coach doesn't run them off.
