In response to hoopla
Glad Women's Rugby is killing it.
They *should* be killing it given the resources and facilities they have. As I said, you can probably make a case that the new coach is underachieving by being eliminated in the first round of the NCAAs in two years. But two for two in Ivy titles ain't awful...
In Koclanes defense, Teevens was 0-10 in year 4 of his current tenure, correct?
He was, but the similarities pretty much end there. Teevens had a track record of winning Ivy titles and also extensive coaching experience at the FBS and/or BCS level. Even if he hadn't, he had the good sense to have his worst season at a time when there was no athletic department leadership and the economy was tanking.
Can't say the same for Koclanes on either count.
More importantly, after the 0-10 season, Teevens sent a letter to the Dartmouth football faithful accepting full responsibility for the debacle, that he was embarrassed beyond belief that it happened, and vowing to make changes to ensure that it never happened again.
Koclanes' quotes in the Valley News article sure made it sound like she believed that middle-of-the-pack was the best we could hope for in women's basketball.
So....
