Would be very surprised if Schram winds up the AD. Strong movement afoot to bring in someone from the outside to inject new life into the department. Program going well, but untapped potential is enormous! Go Scots!

QuoteMy thoughts are this #1) Brian Fowler has too good of a job to leave for it for the pay MC offers a head coach.
#2) Fowler is just not right for this position....yet.

Whats he do for a job outside of working for the college?? (just curious as to what would keep an aspiring coach from jumping at an opportunity like working for MC)

And why do you feel as though Fowler couldn't fill this position? After watching the freefall of lady scots basketball in the year that the previous coach has been there...I can't believe Fowler would do any worse.

Good luck to Schram on landing the job...she's definitely put in her time!

mcscotsguy,

how was the bus ride home? 2:34 a.m. posts! Ouch!

mcscotsguy · February 17, 2008, 02:06:00 PM

I dont get the privalege of riding a comfortable bus big dog. But the drive home was quite long and tiring. Thank you for the concern.

Gottahaveheart:

The game was back and forth and the ladies could never get a cushion of a lead. Took the lead around the 5 min mark and let it slip after that. Some poor decisions down the stretch and just lack of offense kept them from pulling away. Checked the box score also and the ladies out rebounded them, shot poorly from the charity stripe, and not great from 3. Big 3 posts only had 14 combined points and amber lee did start..not a typo! Tough loss to a team (as a fan) you feel like you shouldn't lose to. Not sure why draper only had 8 min. Hopefully spelman can get them back on track leading into the biggy on saturday. Good luck Ladies!

I cannot remember what Fowler does but he has a good job. And you might be right, he might want it bad enough to let the job go.

It isn't that I do not think Fowler is a good coach. I just do not think the time is right for him to be the coach. I still think that Pardue had potential to do a great job with the ladies but he did not handle things right and then it was all down hill. He had a tough time starting for a few reasons. One reason being that the girls were at the top with Bell. His leaving was a shock to everyone and filling his shoes was tough. Looking at the last two seasons, that part will not be as hard for a new coach coming in. We may not be, but it feels as if we are on bottom.

It is not that Fowler would do worse. No, I do not think he would. I just do not think he can do "best". I think we need to look for experience and a certain personality to help this team get back to where it should be.

I think Coach Schram should get the job. MC has no idea what they have in her, I'm afraid. She's the whole package.

mcscotsguy · February 17, 2008, 04:51:12 PM

Well I do understand what you mean there. From watching the girls since Pardue's departure I notice good things and there is certainly a better team unity. I like the changes in the starting line-ups as well. However maybe he is a little young for the position...and of course inexperienced. Neither being a fault of his own..just the product of circumstance. I do hope he stays with the ladies and the program! His enthusiasm on the sidelines is great and I hope he is able to continue to bring that to the team. Good luck to RDL and Schram on finding a replacement...looking forward to seeing the ladies get back on top with some 20+ win seasons!

Yes you're right...coach schram is certainly a great candidate for the AD job and personally I've always felt it is fair to hire for that type of position from within rather than look outside for it. She's earned it and should be looked at seriously to step into the position. Good luck coach!

Big Dog · February 17, 2008, 06:17:05 PM

Scots fans,

Would be surprised if Schram is the AD. I'm not saying it won't happen, but certainly the decision not to name her immediately shows the administration is not fully behind her as a candidate/replacement. That is an important decision and I respect the college spending these three months to research and interview other candidates. One question, how many other institutions would hire Schram for the AD position? Answer. Zero is the number right before one!

MCScotsFan · February 17, 2008, 08:07:56 PM

Hmm...well, how do you know, Big Dog. Maybe it is Schram who is thinking this over. A lot to think about when you are also a coach. Look at RDL. He couldn't do the job alone and made Schram assistant AD. It could go both ways. Or there could be issues to work out about would she stay a coach or not. I do not see her leaving her team yet.

She's got a lot of NCAA knowledge and the like. She has what it takes.

A loyal Lady Scots fan.....leave him alone.....LOL

Our posts took only 19 of 64 shots....Huntingdon must to have really packed it in.

GottahaveNOheart,

Speaking of packing it in!

Loyal Lcots fan long before you came on board my friend.

We having a failure to communicate my friend.....

I was saying leave mcscotsguy alone, he was just a loyal Lady Scots fan to be on at 2:34 am.....

I know you been there...for awhile....."By the way"......I thought you were going to say hi in person....

?

Don't start with the heart thing......

MCScotsFan · February 17, 2008, 10:59:42 PM

I'd say BD was to embarrassed to "say hi". Changing your screenname and saying "I've been a LSfan longer than you" reminds me of JR high.

Not sure I understand why there is so much animosity between BD and GHH

I could see if it was another school's fan but it is not. It is just so weird.

You got it wrong MCScotsFan....no animosity there that I know of......why you say that?
I don't have animosity toward anyone on here, for any reason. Everyone has their own opinion and freedom of speech about whatever topic is being discussed. I'm just glad this side has some activity. It was basically dead with a few posts. The men's side has 222 pages, the ladies, 36.......

Big Dog · February 18, 2008, 08:27:15 AM

GHH,

Just to clear things up, I LOVE YOU. However, I still have been a Lady Scots fan far longer than most who inhabit this space, including MCScots fan. I go back to the days of Penny Head and Sara Covington, the greatest female player in Lady Scots history (see Wall of Fame). Look forward to meeting you at the Piedmont game.

Surely other people are allowed to be Maryville fans, however, even though you have been one a long time. Right?
