Well, short of a natty win, a cs appearance is only worth so much. Especially if a) you aren't winning a Pac title or reaching OKC better than every other year.So, yes, cs could be in the mix of an advancement, but it can't be in a vacuum surrounded by losses in supers or worse. A natty and -- I agree -- fond remembrances of the previous guy fade, except in the context of having gotten the program on its elite feet.

There is a big difference between being an assistant coach at OU and being the head coach at Oregon. She will spend a lot less time coaching and will have quite an adjustment. Obviously she is a great hire but an adjustment period is coming.

It is different out here in the Pac-12 whether it is good or bad but Kip @ UCLA, formerly White @ Oregon and Tarr @ Washington all spend/spent time a lot of coaching over administrating. Assistants pick up the other coaching duties as assistants. Maybe in other areas a coach is more of an administrator? I think the job is defined by the way you want it as a coach. She does not seem to be an administrator type of coach but actively involved with the individual player? I would still place her as a top four in hires this year btw. She will do fine.

She will continue to do so. And THAT is the biggest part of this game.

I’m LOL’ing that some of you seem to think that all the administrative work on a coaching staff falls to the head coach. Believe me, most every assistant is VERY familiar with the administrative end of the job. Especially one who has been at it for 21 years.

I would think it depends largely on the head coach and the proclivities of the assistant. From assistants I've known in big programs at least, most administrative tasks were undertaken by the head coach unless the assistant really showed interest and proficiency, and even then there are certain head coaches who really want to control that side of things. Recruiting may be the exception if one considers that administrative. I've asked a couple assistants who have moved on to being head coaches and they've said there is a huge learning curve on the administrative side of things.

Exactly. And, many of the athletic department's problems, AD's problems and SWA's problems are your problems too.

ML from $185 to $340 with $10 added every year. Perhaps from a good PC to a good HC.

Well, duh. Dealing with problems like those mentioned above is why head coaches are better paid than their assistants.

I was at the Arizona Softball Hall of Fame yesterday in Prescott and look who I found on the wall. I always wondered where Lombardi played before she went to Oklahoma. I should have figured as CAC sent a ton of players into D1. She is a Clint Myers protege also.

I was in Lake Havasu jet-boating for a couple days then drove to Prescott to house shop for a couple more days while visiting a great high school friend, so much fun and Prescott is a killer place! I posted the pic to Facebook then opened it in a separate window and pasted the address into the url box here and voila!

Yea Prescott is awesome. I spent a lot of time at The Palace on Whiskey Row while going to school there. That town square is a national treasure.

I love Prescott, and played in many softball tourneys at the old rock stadium right next to the old armory, where the Hall of Fame is. Such an outstanding city.
