So this board is becoming a referendum on our current coach. Let’s break this out, into its own thread, just so we can collect the board’s thinking. I think that is fair.
Also being fair, I will offer my assessment of the current situation. I will not attempt to go into the problems with our last coach. Let’s keep this focused on Coach Versyp. I think she has brought some good things to Purdue. First, she is an excellent X&O coach in my opinion. She knows how to game plan, and she makes good in-game adjustments.
Some of those good game plans and in-game adjustments are futile because we have not had the talent to execute them. IMHO, Sharon and staff do an excellent job developing the kids they get. Every year we get strong point guard play and good wing play. However, we just need some high end talent to progress this program back to its old position of national prominence. Here is where I fault the current coach. We are not getting the high school All-Americans we need to compete and beat the Marylands and OSU’s in our conference. We need improvements in recruiting.
