I think coach Lansing would be a great coach for the womens team. Any thoughts?

Good thought, I doubt it is what he is looking for though. I think he would like to be a head mens coach one day and I am not sure if this is the direction he would take to get to that point...

Not saying that he wouldn't make a good coach or that he wouldn't want the job... I just don't see something like that happening. I doubt it would be much of a pay increase for him either, probably pretty comparable.


Those are my thoughts, for whatever they are worth.
 
It's time to get a female coach & staff. They're far more qualified to deal with the peripheral "girl" developmental issues that go along with the game and college life in general. I would think that there's quite a pool of qualified candidates for ISU to select from.
 
Is Mel to young? Maybe she does not have enough experience, but she is a proven winner on many different levels as a player - would she be a candidate? I am guessing that she will viewed as to young and inexperienced to be a head coach at that level. But hey Men's college hoops has been quick to capitalize on younger head coaches....

I'm sure that RP will wanna get this position filled as soon as possible, given the HS state tournament situation & recruiting. He also understands the significance of ISU Women's Basketball and the REGIONAL/NATIONAL scope. He's a master of working these situations and exposing Indiana State to America.
 
I think Coach Lansing would be a great coach. He is a proven recruiter and always has a great game plan when it comes to X's and O's and being a head coach is always an assistants goal. Also his wife works for the athletic department and they enjoy living in Terre Haute. I think he would be a great fit.
 
You have to be kidding!!! Men's Basketball and Women's Basketball are two totally different games. I just don't see the logic here. Besides, Angie is Senior Women's Administrator...that would mean she'd be Greg's boss. Not gonna happen I'm thinking.
 
Hate to be a smart aleck but it's the Athletic Director's job to hire and fire and I doubt that he cares what "fans" on a message board think? Don't believe he consulted any of us before his last three or four hires did he? Don't want or need to name names but several on here were outspoken on the baseball hire and even someone on here says "Melanie Boeglin" for this job? This is Women's Div. I NCAA Basketball, not the YMCA or Boys & Girls Club team; give me a break.
 
Oh you don't think Mel is capable? Is that what you are saying - because I will say boastfully that I was the one that suggested that she should be at the very least considered for the job... If you could please expand on your point that would be great?

I guess I am looking for something more than "this is division 1 college basketball", what makes you think that she is incapable? I mean if she is so incapable then I don't know why she was hired as an assistant coach in the first place?

I have given reasons why I think she would be a good coach - I have also said that she is very raw, but if you surround her with good people she will be fine.

Hate to sprinkle water on your "campfire," but RP DOES listen to our ideas. While I'm in no way insisting that we influence him one way or the other, he DOES listen...and often reponds. I've got E-mails to prove it!

Having to have a female coach is crazy, lets just get the best coach and not make having breasts the determination of coaching ability....

I agree...biology factors never impact female psychology or physiology, do they?

Coaching is more than just X's & O's along the hardwood. Damn, don't you ever watch Oprah?:imslow:

Melanie Boeglin..............one heck of a high school and college player............very very very good player. Would she be considered for a head coaching job at any other MVC school where an opening existed with her extremely small list of achievements on her coaching (not playing) resume; even for an assistant opening at one of those other schools? Wake up people!
 
Lane Kiffin continues to get big time coaching jobs and what has he ever done? I mean he wasn't even a decent college football player and practically fell into ever position he ever worked. I mean his big break came when Norm Chow left for the NLF and he steeped in as the recruiting coordinator for USC. Some might say he was an accomplished assistant coach, I would suggest that he was fortunate to be in the right places at the right times.

I guess that is not much to compare her to but come on. Give her some consideration - she would be a very popular choice amongst the fan base (or so I thought). I honestly don't know if she has any coaching ability, but I would hope if she does she would at least be considered for the job.

Bottom line: Keep Lansing happy. In a couple years or less, when McKenna gets a better offer, he will be a great next head men's BB coach. If we establish ourselves as a school that promotes assistants, we should be able to attract quality assistants. It has worked well for Butler.
