In-house hire. Interesting. Checks most the of politically correct boxes.

So hoosierdraft you are saying she was hired only because she was a woman? Seems like a natural fit for the job, given her experience. It's a mid major school, a good starting spot for a first head coaching job. Were you expecting a "better" hire? |

Let's not let Hoosierdraft create anything here. By all categories, this was a good hire. They didn't think the program was broke so they didn't need to "fix" it. From what I've heard, she is highly professional, well-respected, and clearly has a Ball State-worthy background and pedigree. Cool, let's move on.

One of the most accurate statements ever made on VT. |

Six seasons with one regular season conference title in 2010, one NCAA invite in 2011, 5 of 6 years lost in the quarter finals of the MAC tournament. Clearly a mid major program that doesn't need fixed. Let's see which direction the program moves with this hire. |

Kelli is a great choice. |

Great hire. As a Ball State alum, I'm excited to see where she takes the program.

Just curious, but when was the last time Ball State had a women's head coach? I know before Shondell was Boos and before Boos was Randy Litchfield.

Before Randy, it was Jerre Mcmanama. Would have been a mango before Jerre. They had separate athletic departments. Somewhere around 1984.
