I hope this past season isn't our only trip to the Big Dance for the next 8 years

It's a crap shoot every year but almost all major contributions return with some nice new players-and we're still a year away from what should be the best personnel in a looooong time.

RE: Tricia Cullop Signs Contract Extension
I always wondered, do they actually extend the contract? Like make it longer?


They should.

I think this is a no-brainer isn't it? Good for the community. Good GPA. Competitive team. Hope Coach finds the Assistants and formula to take the program a leap, even at the risk of losing her. Hope Toledo continues to support her. Like to see some in-roads into a younger (between the kids and the grand folks) fan-base. Another 500 in the seats? Good goal.

An average of 500 students per women's game would be great. Except for the BG game, it doesn't happen.
We should have sold out Savage for the ND game, too bad we did not do so.
We need more kids, adults and senior citizens to fill the place up.

As someone noted, winning the MAC Tournament in the last few years has been something of a crap shoot. However, it is very important for the program that the team make it back to the NCAA either this year or next while there are still a number of players on the roster who have NCAA Tourney experience. Regardless how disciplined a team may be, the first trip to the NCAA particularly after a long absence can be a bit intimidating with lots of distractions as (IMO) we saw with the Lady Rockets this year. However, having experienced "life under the big top" once before, if the Ladies can make a return this year or next they should be better able to focus on the business at hand and hopefully make a bit of noise, particularly if they get to play a bit closer to home next time.

I don't think that is a lot risk in losing Coach Cullop in the foreseeable future for a couple of reasons. First and foremost there are not nearly as many WBB programs as there are MBB (or probably even FB) programs that are more attractive that the Toledo situation----of course there are a number but not nearly as large a number as for MBB and FB, therefore, fewer tempting possibilities. In second place Coach Cullop has been a head coach now for something like 17 years and this is her first NCAA trip as a head coach. The fact that she has a nice winning record and a WNIT championship is all well and good but most schools that she would likely consider probably consider the NCAA as the Holy Grail and 1 in 17 isn't going to get them that worked up. Now if Cullop builds on this success (unlike the WNIT success) and starts dominating the MAC the way UT did in the Fennelly/Ehlen transition years or the way BGSU did under Fran Voll and later Kurt Miller then her stock could soar and the probably of her getting the "right" offer could become significantly higher.

As east said, this extension is absolutely a no-brainer. Cullop will coach in Toledo for as long as she wants, which I hope is the rest of her career.

Solid season this past one with a team that struggled to get everyone healthy at the same time for much of it. Couple pretty solid recruits coming in next season. Would be nice to have a bit more size, and yet I wouldn't be too surprised if the Rockets repeat.
