I think it has been mentioned on this board before, but I wonder what it would take to bring in Niele Ivey to coach Purdue WBB? It seems like we might have some leverage with her.
Does anyone know what she earns as an assistant for the Memphis Grizzlies? We'd obviously have to top that and have some kind of an agreement that she wouldn't leave for Notre Dame when Muffet McGraw retires (MM just turned 64).
At any rate, she has already proven that she is an outstanding college recruiter. I truly believe she could return the program to national prominence.
We once had a large fan base for WBB and it should materialize again if we can consistently put a good team on the floor. Additional fans would help offset the probable higher salary it would take to sign her.
Definitely would re-energize a program that is currently on life support.
Thoughts?
