Knowing 'how to play' has no bearing on knowing 'how to coach'. The hire is being done for the usual reasons, saving money and the M:F percentage so that they can avoid Title IX accusations and can continue funneling money to basketball and football. That's what you say. What I see is that UNC is the top school in the country for Field Hockey, and it's been that way for a while. I'm sure much of that was due to the coach, but she certainly wasn't the only reason for their success. The entire program has been supported by the school to a point where it's the best. I get this person is your friend or something. That's fine. She's probably going to work hard at it. But this wouldn't happen in a sport taken seriously. It's why it's sad that it happens in a couple of the latest instances in volleyball. When's the last time a 23-yr old was head coach for a men's basketball team? How about football? Baseball?? If it was basketball, North Carolina would never ever ever ever ever have even looked at a 23-yr old Michael Jordan or James Worthy as a replacement for a Dean Smith. Or are you saying field hockey is so irrelevant that none of the other teams with good programs had coaches that would want to move to North Carolina and that no qualified coaches with experience managing programs or clubs applied?

Is this still volleytalk or did I miss the transition to fieldhockeytalk? I thought it was the Volleytalk Jobs board It is. We're just talking in allegorical form rather than directly addressing hires like the one Notre Dame (Ohio) made this year.

What I can't take seriously is this entire post of yours. The example is appropriate. Jordan would never be hired to replace Dean Smith, Kubik never hired to replace Cook, Kipp never hired to replace Hambly. It's a ridiculous hire.

Cold blooded animal headed west to become man’s best friend. Hmm -- AC to HC? AC to AC? Fresno has an AC opening ... they're bulldogs, Washington Huskies.... Cold blooded, hmmm, maybe Gators? Horned Frogs? Spiders? Terrapins? Too many to choose from and that is assuming it's D1-D1

Ashlie Reasor named director of Opps at A&M (her alma mater) A little surprised by this just because there were some Michigan fans that thought she was headed to Fresno. I was one that thought she'd go that route. She had been an assistant coach before DOVO at UM and thought the option would be on the table too. But then again, better money at A&M, higher level of play, and going "home". My surprise level was mild.

I’ve thought this was happening for a while as there was an influx of transfer portal activity a few weeks back. He is from the Louisville area I believe, but I could see either being a logical landing spot

I'm hearing a school moving to a new conference will need a new coach. Dagenais or Alvey to UNC?
