What a bunch of nonsense. Spallina is the best coach in the women's game and yes recruiting is a part of coaching but a lot of factors are a part of that and are not under the coaches control. There were probably no players on the field for SBU that UNC truly recruited .He takes some first team travel players, some second and third team travel players and makes them better players. Anyone with knowledge of the college game knows that if Spallina were the coach at UNC or Notre Dame etc he would already have a couple championships.
That said his antics are ridiculous and he coaches his team to be overly physical, found it interesting that a player he pushed to be at the US team tryouts barely plays for his team.
He has done a good job but stop with if he were.... His record has been greatly inflated due to the conference. He has done a good job improving the out of conference schedule. He has had some wins over traditional powers but not when they were at the top of their game and he has not done it in The Tournament.
Agree, he is a very good coach but there has been way too much hype...
JMU Coach... National Championship.
Navy Coach... 2X Final Four.
They both did it without bring in all the Under Armour AA's.
