Promoting from within makes sense, but if not, first call should be to McCutcheon at Catawba. Been there three seasons, won 29 this year and 23 last year. Made NCAA both times, went all the way to elite eight and semifinals last month. Even won in the shortened Covid year.

No matter how you feel about Downs and the academic / business side of the school. there is one thing Downs has excelled at more than anything else while at GWU it is hiring coaches.

No matter how you feel about Downs and the academic / business side of the school. there is one thing Downs has excelled at more than anything else while at GWU it is hiring coaches. Downs, I’m afraid to say, has lost confidence of a higher percentage of the faculty and staff now than Chris White did. Like I tell anyone, talk to faculty and staff off the record and find out for yourselves. GW is in heap big trouble on the business side. Hiring a President with zero experience in the private liberal arts college setting is biting us in the ass big time. Hiring qualified coaches won’t mean squat if we don’t start retaining faculty and putting a stop to the staffing revolving door elsewhere on campus. |

Alasia Smith has entered the portal I wonder if she follows Simmons to Memphis

Not a shock. Apparently Simmons is taking the staff as well.

Apparently less than 5 players staying, the remainder gone along with the staff. Obvious Simmons didn’t recruit them to GW whatsoever, recruited them to play for her.
New coach has a full rebuild. Hope we hire one soon.

Hope we hire one soon. This is another facet of the Transfer Portal which is contributing to the redefining of the term "student-athlete". I can't fault Simmons per say, this Coach-bringing-players scenario is now common practice, as we all know. |

Hope she and her merry staff are happy. Our new HC will need three years to even get the program competitive again. Watching that game tonight at UNC was heartbreaking. God bless Funderburk for staying and having some backbone and fortitude.
I hope her, her staff, and the players that left all fail miserably. They had a nice 20 point loss at MTSU the other night. Karma is a bitch, and I hope it rains all over them.

Karma is a bitch, and I hope it rains all over them. Stop being so negative 94. Wish them the best! This happens all over college and professional sports. You shouldn’t wish the worst on anyone. I hope they are successful and do great! Coach Alex was successful and GWU couldn’t keep her. I am thankful for all that she did for GWU! Todays athletes come to a school for a coach that has recruited them. The girls trusted Alex and wanted to go with her. They like her system and the relationships that she had with them and the staff. It’s a higher level of basketball. Good for them! Can’t expect them to stay in the springs forever. Good for them for taking a better opportunity for them professionally and for their families. Once again, thank you coach Alex for all you did for GWU! |

Once again, thank you coach Alex for all you did for GWU! Oh yes, absolutely, thank you for gutting the program completely on your way out the door. Pure class. Glad her and her arrogant staff no longer represent GW. Humility sure was never present during her tenure, that’s for sure. |
