Whether there were any problems with Coach P is not known to me. Williams also coached under Doug Bruno at DePaul and certainly must of learned a lot during those days. <br /><br />Paulie Cardinal Couplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10565155435705858363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-78630666158596998332016-04-14T11:49:57.368-04:002016-04-14T11:49:57.368-04:00Coach Sam Williams was an assistant at Duke but ca...Coach Sam Williams was an assistant at Duke but came to Louisville.

No concrete proof on this but I'm seeing it from multiple sources. Word is JoAnne did nothing to stop it. <br /><br />Blue LouAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-34442243321891102182016-04-13T07:40:24.701-04:002016-04-13T07:40:24.701-04:00A good point in your opening statement, Charles. O...A good point in your opening statement, Charles. One of our readers communicates in an e-mail to me that Duke has most likely wanted her gone for quite some time but she received a contract extension until 2019 when the program was having successes. It would cost around $3 million to buy her out and she is unwilling to go voluntary. Suddenly an answer appears. They start looking at the many complaints that have been lodged over the past several years at their 'get rid of card'. A check at a few sites indicates the Duke WBB fan base is ecstatic that there is a chance she may be gone. The final straw was Stevens and Salvadores...in my opinion. <br /><br />Where does this leave Lexie Brown, who is on campus after leaving Maryland? is another e-mail I've gotten. Also, was former Duke assistant and current UofL asst. coach Samantha Williams contacted on this matter? <br /><br />Certainly not a great time in the history of Duke WBB right now. Being pre-emptive is investigating is one thing Cardinal fans are well aware of but in Duke's case...coaches and fans are not wringing their hands over these charges...they're opening celebrating. <br /><br />Paulie Cardinal Couplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10565155435705858363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-20224652077229192292016-04-13T07:09:32.278-04:002016-04-13T07:09:32.278-04:00We must be careful not to pre-convict coach McCall...We must be careful not to pre-convict coach McCallie, but, having said that, I concur that the team seemed lethargic and uninspired which points to coaching failure. If the allegations are true, it would explain a lot. I have never been a fan of McCallie.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07988646809282061891noreply@blogger.com
