ub2019 Posted April 6, 2022 Author Share Posted April 6, 2022 I wonder if she can bring the FOY she coached there with her too?? Very impressive stats and she is from PA. https://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/player/_/id/4899622/rachael-rose 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rma Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Positives: Appears to be a rising coach, wins everywhere she goes, conference coach of the year Negatives: A lot of her players (7) portaled after this year, but then again who didn't. Her staff at USC...U(?) had two Louisville connections on it so might not get impressive resumes for assistant coaches. She'll probably be gone in a year or two if she wins here based on her previous coaching record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She'll probably be gone in a year or two if she wins here based on her previous coaching record. Maybe one reason for the portal’ing was that they knew she was leaving. Also the Louisville women’s program is a pretty successful and stable program. Not bad plucking from there. Solid hire. Young up and comer with prior head coaching and playing experience. Let’s all be honest here, none of us truly know jack-ish about coaches in women’s college basketball. So who are we to criticize her. What we as fan wanted was pretty much what she seems to embody with her credentials. UB is an attractive job for young up and comer coaches looking to advance their careers. This hire is the opposite of what we went through after Oats left on the men’s side. Edited April 6, 2022 by DooleyBull06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikescherrer8 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 It looks like a great hire, but as mentioned, is she’s successful early, she’ll get a new gig quick. Hoping for the best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping for the best! Absolutely but in being successful that means we will win a MAC title or two. And stay relevant and a premiere mid major that’s attractive to coaches once she does leave. Also if she has success it puts pressure on the school to pony up money to invest in keeping coaches and upgrading facilities. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll take ambitious, successful coaches using UB as a stepping stone if we are winning MAC titles over coaches that will go .500, get you nowhere and stick around. That’s being a mid-major in college basketball. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very impressive resume along with her Louisville player stats, Finally have something positive to ponder and look forward to. Would rather have a coach that has shown taken programs and shown positive progress.Is the news conference at Alumni open to the public? Go Bulls! Just hope fans give her a chance and show support.

TML1000 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Take the fact that she has only stayed at her previous jobs for a few years with a grain of salt...that's how it works in D2, D3, low majors, etc. As you work your way up the better jobs and desirable openings get less and less plentiful. The important thing is Coach Burke is young, is a winner on the court and on the sidelines, has plentiful "big time" connections and has a chance to keep UB on the right path.

This is unfortunately the scenarios for most of the mid major programs. Finding and giving a chance to up and coming coaches or hiring some older coaches that have gone from one program to another. Worked out okay for us with both Oats and Jack. Glad to see Coach Burke is already starting recruiting. Go Bulls!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope we can give her a chance and see what kind of players she can recruit and see what her coaching style is. It will be interesting to see what kind of staff she puts together especially on the recruiting side. Go Bulls!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm just shocked that people are gushing about her resume. 2 years at D1, high NET rank of 223 (based on NET if USC-Up was in the MAC, they'd be 11th between Miami OH (218) and EMU (242)). Flame out in the conference tourney. It's risky bet on young upside to me, not the impressive proven resume hire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This hire is everything we could ask for in this roll of the dice. What does an assistant who has never had to grind or know the difficulties of MAC WBB offer that is better than someone who has proven they could do it with no resources?

I guess I have a different definition of "resume" we're talking 1 good D1 year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
