    Coach Stringer promises 'different culture' for Rutgers

    In order to get leadership you first have to encourage it. You don't get leadership when you force the ball handler to stop what they are doing and look over to the sideline for a play call. Neither do you encourage it when every player on the team but two is afraid to shoot. After Duquesne's...

    Coach Stringer promises 'different culture' for Rutgers

    The head coach... and only the head coach... is responsible for taking a team that has final four talent and having them lose in the second round of the WNIT. This isn't on the players.

    RU vs Virginia 3/20/16 2PM

    Coached out of the gym by a coach who has been considered a total failure. I want to look at the bright side. The seniors will finally be able to move on and be coached by someone who knows how to get the best out of them. When Canty, Hollivay, and Copper are all successful professionals, people...

    the Beginning of the End

    During her last great recruiting run (Canty, Laney, Copper, Hollivay, Scaife) she promised the players she would run a more fast-paced offense. That turned out to be an utter lie. She is just too resistant to change, and what happens to things that don't change in competitive arenas like college...

    RU vs Ohio St Game Thread

    The fact of the matter is Coach Stringer will never win again. Even if she had UCONN's roster, they would still struggle to score sixty points and be hesitant to shoot threes, that is just the way she coaches. A offense that is that slow and doesn't shoot threes leaves the players virtually no...

    CVS article on contract

    To be clear, I am not knocking Canty. Far from it. Even post injury, she has all the tools (passing, defense, size, skill, athleticism, etc.) to be the best point guard in the country. She has just not been put in a position to succeed. When you have a point guard that excels in the open court...

    CVS article on contract

    The talent level has dropped because no player in their right mind, if they had options, would want to play in this kind of offense. They also see what she has done to great talents like Briyona Canty and others. Canty has been ruined by her head coach and will have to be "deprogrammed" in order...

    RU vs Purdue 2/25/16 Game Thread

    This team is coached by someone who doesn't know how to take advantage of the three point shot, in 2016. That is really all that needs to be said. I feel sorry for the players. They deserve better.

    RU vs Indiana 1/27/16 game thread

    All Indiana is capable of doing is jacking up threes, so logically the coach plays the whole game in a zone. Inexplicable and inexcusable. Coach Stringer's offense is even worse. The bottom line is... THESE PLAYERS DESERVE BETTER.

    RU vs Michigan St. 1/19/2016 game thread

    To see a team so quick and so athletic play so slow and so methodically is an absolute disgrace. It's the coach folks, 100-percent.

    RU v Iowa 1/4/16 Game Thread

    What is so frustrating about this team is that they no doubt have the talent and its problems would be so easy to fix, but I have zero confidence in the coach to change things up, fix these problems, and get the best out of the players. In my opinion, the easiest way to jump start this team...

    RU v Iowa 1/4/16 Game Thread

    I feel sorry for the players. That slow, unwatchable "offense" that they run? That is what the coach wants them to run, and if they try something else, they get a spot on the bench. Did the coach forget about Cynthia Hernandez? What other opponent would be a better matchup for Hernandez than...

    Anyone care to share the early season scoop on the women's play?

    You can't question this team's talent. Like the teams of the last few seasons, this group has top-10 or final 4 talent. Canty, health-wise, is fine, but for years has played in a system that has emphasized all her weaknesses and none of her talent. It makes you wonder why the coach even...

    Accountability

    This loss is all on the coach, 100-percent. When they went man-to-man in the second quarter they went on a 12-0 run, Seton Hall couldn't touch them. So logically the coach starts the second half back in that ridiculous zone, and Seton Hall goes bombs away from three. I feel sorry for the...
