Looks like Washington could care less....

That's probably just a very small sampling.

Have you ever seen posts in the main HV forums when they're about women's sports? They read just like that. A bunch of ignorant non-fans ("hot seat" - lol). Neighbors is very widely liked and admired at UW.

But for a second there, when I saw the forum name was "hardcorehusky.com," I figured this was another @Dwight_K_Shrute post about "Huskyville.net" lol.

I am not a Washington fan. But Mississippi State was the better club. No shame here

Washington lost to five teams this year: Stanford, Oregon, Oregon St., Notre Dame, and Mississippi State. That's it. All of them were in the Sweet 16, four of them were in the Elite 8, and two of them are in the Final 4.

But "hot seat."

LMAO

Here's something else interesting about UW.

I researched attendance at both UW and MSU last night.  Ok I'm a nerd but I wanted to see the impact Coach Vic and Mike Neighbors have had at their respective schools.

MSU was averaging about 1,500 per game before Vic arrived.  His first year was about the same due to a losing record.  Attendance steadily improved each year after that.  Two years ago was up to 3,755.  Last year 5,162.  Final numbers for this season have not been released but it will probably be around 6,000.  They had a game of 10,500 in their finale against TN.

UW hovered around 2,000 each of MN's first 3 years.  This year it looks like their average will be over 5,000 and they had a high of 10,000.  It took them coming off a F4 appearance last year to finally get excited about the program.

Which tells you nothing about who would be the better fit at Arkansas.

Both are GREAT coaches.

I thought about this when I posted the link. I think the difference is we have a strong enough fan base that would show up to games if the right coach is brought in. I think Coach Neighbors could do that. Let's say CGB was brought back. How would the fan base react? We know what he can do and we have seen his work at aggie land. Long has to get it right this time either way. As far as the link, I double checked! Haha

Good work Dwight!  Those are good numbers for both of those coaches.  The argument could be made that it's even more impressive that Neighbors got that many folks in Seattle to attend.  I would think there are many options to spend money on on any given night in Seattle.  Plus they have a WNBA team too, the Seattle Storm Clouds.

its happening y'all

[psycHOGlogist]

I think it's an accurate statement. I am still hearing (from people on this board way more "in the know" than myself) that it's still likely to be resolved positively. FWIW.

[hawg1221]

It makes sense for him to come back to his home state where he's got so many connections. I hope things work out.

[logic]

That is understandable. I'm sure the West coast has lots of quality coaches, some known and some at present unknown.  And, UW is collecting $1 million that can be used for their next hire. Also, unlike Jeff Long, they AD is not on the hot seat should he make a poor choice.

Your seat is hotter than Long's.........

Jeff Long's hot seat.

You wouldn't recognize a hot seat if you were standing in the middle of hell.

I can't respond since hell is not defined. However, the thing is, it would not be good for Jeff Long if the next ladies basketball coach is not an improvement over Jimmy Dykes.

It would be nice if you knew what you were taking about!!

Have you even looked at CMN resume? He is what the ladies program has needed since CGB. If it's a lost cause then why even bother with posting in here? Just go to MMQB or Jump Ball. There's an excitement for this program that hasn't been here in a very long time. If you are right come back in five years and tell us then.

Why anyone would think an AD would be on the hot seat over a women's basketball coaching hire is crazy.
