ASU's HC retires

[MADHAT1]

Charli Turner Thorne has retired from coaching and with her retirement will have some of the candidates TKR posters in the WBB board want as Vivian's replacement be considered for the Sun Devil job.

A&M will get pick of the litter when it comes to top candidates…thought competition for RU

Also an open spot at UVA since Tina Thompson was let go. Coaching in the ACC will likely draw the attention of the best of the best available candidates.

And Illini coach just retired.

Shauna Green will get one of these jobs while we go for a cheap hire with a no name checkbox hire

hope you're wrong, but I've been worrying about the hiring on the cheap part myself.

U and Bac should let it go at this point. Move on from the past

Thompson was let go because in 3 years she did nada, awful coach, great player.

Fahey is in her 60's.

Right, but more competition for coaches. I suspect they may look at the Dayton coach. And it may be mutual interest being in the Midwest.

Getting back to CTT - I hope you all remember her support during the Imus situation. Earlier that season we were scheduled to play ASU in a destination tourney and someone (I think the sister of a player) died and ASU couldn't play. RU did not require a forfeit, simply not showing up for the game either.

When Imus happened, CTT circulated a petition at ASU signed by a very large number of professors and such supporting Rutgers, and I think it was printed in several papers.

As an Arizona fan, ASU is considered the enemy. There are nasty nicknames on both sides, I generally stick to Arizona Normal School (ASU's original name) or "that school up north", but I have never rooted against CTT and their women's basketball team unless they were playing Arizona.

Yes, there are some plum jobs available. Don't forget Syracuse (Felisha Legette-Jack is a candidate, apparently) and also Mississippi State which appears ready to move on from their interim; their head coach left at the beginning of the season to battle breast cancer.

I vividly remember when that little boy died. It was Briann January's little brother. CVS was very supportive of course, to the family. I've always respected CTT as well.

Don't forget that Syracuse is looking for a permanent coach too.
