$700k for mid major - I can’t remember if I was told or not that that wasn’t true. Hmmm..?

USF women’s basketball will have a minimum payroll of $700k for next season. The new coach’s contract mandates the school allocate at least $700k in rev share funds for the program.

Interesting - many people thought this is how you should recruit? Hmmmm.

Serious question…Kim Caldwell is losing her entire team a year after barely going .500. You usually give a coach 3 years to get their own players and system in order…well she has no players and the system hasn’t worked…why are they keeping her around?

Mid- Major with a 10M payroll - MID MAJOR!! Not True? Oh it’s True - Your situation dictates whether you believe it or not!

Saint Louis is expected to have at least a $10M payroll for next season’s men’s basketball team. A good example of how a school without football doesn’t have to worry about the rev share cap when budgeting for its basketball payrolls.

Oh - so that’s plural? -
Not 1 - Not 2 - But Millions - hmm?

Virginia alum Alexis Ohanian infused millions into the women’s basketball program—now they're in their first Sweet 16 in nearly 30 years. Gone are the days of two or three powerhouses dominating women's hoops. These days, anyone can win—at a price. Story by @AnnieCostabile ⬇️

"I think we have got a great responsibility. I think any great player wants to be coached hard. Coaches take players to levels that they cannot take themselves."
Don't seek praise. Seek to be pushed.
Greatness demands both responsibility and accountability.

Tom Brady: You need coaches that push you outside your comfort zone because that’s how you grow and that’s how you develop self confidence and self esteem. They push you to deal with failure.

Kim Caldwell and Vic Schaefer were both heavily criticized for calling out their teams publicly after losses. Here's Coach Schaefer's response.
"Before you go criticizing coaches who sacrifice time with family and children, you come walk in their shoes. I will not give in to teaching these kids accountability and responsibility. That's my job."
He says its different being a coach at Tennessee and Texas compared to other schools. #Vols

“It was too hard for them… Now, the hard is not hard.”
At one point, the #LadyVols struggled to get through tough practices.
Kim Caldwell says that work is now paying off in conference play — and she hopes learning to push through hard things helps her players beyond basketball.
