Interesting fodder but Id be careful '04- I've addressed concerns with this matter and became the anti-HC right away.. I am not an alum so maybe you'll be given more rope. Nomar, I do believe the essence of the college experience is what happens in the classroom and off the court. Athletics, while I believe an important ingredient lending to the experience, is often viewed as a snapshot of the student body.. Many posters have chastized other schools (all together now.. BOSTON COLLEGE)for the personell they put forth on their teams and generalize about the rest of the institution following those ways. I am not a fan of women's basketball in general however did attend a few games last year.. It is rather blatent that there is no representation of ANY diversity in the program.. nor does there seem to be any urgency to have some. I personally find Gibbons' theatrics on the sideline embarrassing (at one point needing to be held back from going after an opposing player)and frankly he overcoaches (changing defenses to the point his team had NO idea what they were supposed to be doing. Does this have anything to do with the above topic.. no... do I feel having black players on the team is important in the scope of winning.. not necessarily... but would it add to the college experience??? certainly.. and that is far more important.

I agree with your analysis of Gibbon's behavior, a disgrace to the HC community! Also, finally someone who also agrees with my own view of his coaching! He lacks the vision of what talent he has on his bench and fails to use it! He also has his playing 5 totally confused on many occasions (I saw a few games when he calls a guard over, who is also dribbling the ball, to converse with her about a play, and when the play is turned over he's screaming like a maniac!) I don't see how diversity will help in these situations! I believe Gibbon's is in for a rude awakening this fall with many schools now able to offer their own scholarships.
