Yet the weird part is there are still coaches and clubs that speak highly of his time with them. Stockholm syndrome. Lol. If these were wishy-washy types I’d agree. Don’t get me wrong, I think this guy is the worst. Just pointing out the strangeness of the situation. |

Interesting. There are a couple sitting head coaches that could made sense to slide over to be Purdue's #2 and heir apparent to Dave. Although, many programs have multiple Associate Head Coaches on staff, so this doesn't necessarily preclude that. |

What is it about Kathy that makes you think she is not as well positioned as other sitting head coaches? She has been there for a long time, Dave trusts her, and she recruited the squad. |

That is the tricky part of the Stockholm syndrome, everyone is susceptible to falling into that line of belief, not just those who are "wishy-washy". |

Head coaching experience. First time head coaches can be a crapshoot, even if they are/were very well respected as assistants. |

Not sure “eventual replacement” is high on his list of priorities for assistant position. |

Kelli Miller-Phillips is a possible next in line at Purdue.
Dave is in his mid 60's, Kelli played at Purdue, and is doing well as a Head Coach at Ball State. She could make sense for Purdue to pursue this offseason. I'm not sure that the move with Kathy eliminates that possibility.

Head coaching experience. First time head coaches can be a crapshoot, even if they are/were very well respected as assistants. She was appointed as the associate head coach, not head coach. Are you saying that Dave is retiring soon and that they are looking for his replacement? You are way over-projecting. The title of associate head coach has as many meanings as there are head coaches appointing them. I don't think too many of them are looking for their own replacements in the short term. |

Bullsh*t. How much direct interaction do you think the average person has with ADs in the hiring process? And what good do you think it would do AFTER they’ve hired him. “Excuse me. AD, but the guy you hired is a first class piece of crap. You should fire him immediately.” Yeah, that’s not happening. What we need is for the old boys club to stop protecting their own. People get jobs on the recommendation of others and if that recommendation comes from the “right” person, apparently ADs don’t even do a cursory google search or background of any kind. And here we are. I agree somewhat. I said, after this kind of person gets hired, you contact everyone in positions of power. Not just the AD. And you direct them where to find the info on this coach’s past. And then you contact the local newspaper, and anyone to prevent this kind of abuse from happening again to anyone. Yes, 98% of who gets hired is based on who you know. Absolutely. But there have been many times where shortly after being hired, a new coach is fired for lying on their resume or new information coming to light. Trust me, the women in the community know. We know who to avoid. We know who the abusers are. And nearly every time we speak up about it, we are told “no, that can’t be right because so-and-so said they were great” or “well, I’ve never seen that behavior, so it can’t be true” or “well, this person wins a lot, so they can’t be that bad”. Seems these things only start to matter when paired with a losing record. |

It would sure be nice if there was some way for recruits and parents to know these things before the kid pushed down or left to suffer with the roaches on the gym floor . Most people have never heard of this guy and some poor young girl is just excited to get an offer to play at Idaho 😢 |

It is sad that it takes this much stuff to happen for the school to step in and do something. I feel like most schools say they they care about the student athlete but in reality they only care what the outside perception is. They wont do anything about an issue until a story like this happens, and sometimes they wont even do about it then.
