Re: 2015-16
does she think the school, or the program, is "on the rise"? The latter seems questionable...
All due respect, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart, I'm gonna pass.

Re: 2015-16
I'd assume that UMass' new associate AD Griffin would supervise women's basketball. She was a stellar HS player in Texas and at Texas Tech. She has also supervised ball programs at other schools. Perhaps she can help Dawley and her staff elevate the program.
Re: 2015-16
Considering we now have an ex-WNBA player on staff, I'm hoping SHE can help Dawley elevate the program!!
Re: 2015-16
If you're talking about Yolanda Griffith, I think she was a big help this season and expect to see even more improvement going forward.

Re: 2015-16
Just browsing around the board, had no idea Yolanda Griffith is an assistant for UMass, she was an absolute beast in the WNBA back in her day. I don't even watch the WNBA and I know that... her and Tina Pinechiero (edit: Ticha Penicheiro) back in the day killed it together.. yes, I swear I don't watch the WNBA.
Re: 2015-16
Their 12 wins last year was the most since the 2008-09 season and only three less than the last three years COMBINED. Hopefully they continue to get better but I worry a lot of that was because of Kim Pierre-Louis who has graduated.m626t wrote:does she think the school, or the program, is "on the rise"?

Perhaps the JFK* Champions Center will help improve the women's program!

Ladies were picked 13th in the A-14. No big surprise there.

Last year, we finished in a 4-way tie for 10th place at 5-11, but tie-breakers brought us down to the 13th seed. We did, at least, win that first round game.
