Dallas Morning-News article about Louisiana College Head Coach Robin Potera-Haskins.

I wonder why the headline writer mentioned D1, because there is nothing else in the article about her career beyond building the program at LaCollege...but then I guess it should not surprise me. :-\

Dallas Morning News deskers are probably preoccupied with when the next round of layoffs will arrive.

Ralph, did we read the same article?  It is all about her problems with Montana State, a D-I school and the fact that she had made it to the "top" of the NCAA heap, moving up to a D-I school, only to head "downward" to a D-III position.  She wants to get "back on track" to a D-I position.

QuoteOnce the game began, she never sat down. She stood or squatted on the sidelines, constantly instructing her players and inserting substitutes. In 1988, The News called her a "whirlwind" when Wilmer-Hutchins hired her. That description still fits.

In an interview after the 67-57 loss, she complimented the play of her young players and said the team will be better next season.

"I think we have some good recruits coming," she said.

Those are the last 3 paragraphs of the article that I read.

That is where I surmised that she wants to build the program at Lousiana College.  :)

Thank you, Coach Nichols!

I am confused.  What are you thanking Coach Nichols for via this public bulletin board?

We yell, scream, holler and clap on these boards.
I thought that it was just a good place for me to express my thanks!  ;)

Any news on the replacement? 

Is there anything behind the scenes about his retirement?

OK, now I am REALLY confused.  Is Sam Nichols leaving McM?

Yes, Coach Nichols is retiring.

Whoa, that is big news.  Well, he is leaving his replacement with a good program that seems to be in excellent health.  It will be interesting to see who they tap to lead.
