If Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw was more focused this week on winning basketball games instead of worrying about not enough women in coaching positions and declaring she'd never hire a male assistant coach, maybe the outcome would be different.

Congrats to both Teams. Having said that I’m glad Baylor won. The ND Coach is a snarky lefty.

Agreed. Great coach but clearly a leftie nut who seemed to care more about using her spotlight to make ridiculous statements instread of actually coaching. I was rooting for Baylor.

Who cares about woman basketball?

More to the point, who cares about ANY basketball?
It’s not a sport - it’s a freak show.

Baylor won because they have a male on the coaching staff.

She seemed a sensible sort for quite a while but the temptation - egged on by the press - to lecture on ‘gender equality’ is just too great. None of the lefties will notice that the PC lecture got 200x more coverage than any of the tournament - once again, they defeat their own aims.

Nobody can really explain what the hell it means - more accurately, nobody will admit that all it means is equality of outcome which, of course, is not equality at all.

It also ignores the fact that - gasp - men know more and probably always will about men competing in sports, which is why men coaching men makes more sense and produces better outcomes.

As for the game, it had the same problem that the men’s game does - 35 min of game and 5 min of coaches taking their egos out for trot and calling incessant timeouts so they can draw on white boards. The final play of the game was a laughable indictment of college basketball and the women’s game in particular with missed shots, dodgy foul calls and the game ending on...a flubbed inbounds play. Wheee.

Here’s a question for all basketball coaches: if you’re as good as they say you are and as good as you believe, why don’t your teams know what to do in the last 2 min of a game just as they do in the first 2 min of a game? If you’re such a wonderful strategist, film watcher and planner, why does all of it go out the window as you literally draw it up during a timeout? It’s a huge contradiction that nobody in the game and certainly nobody in the media - mostly ex-coaches themselves - will point out.

If Lauren Cox had not been injured in the 3rd period Baylor would have won by 10 points. Cox is a great player and will be back next year. Great Game.

I could not care less about this game. Televised sports have become the opioid to the masses of our time.

Bingo! You do not inject social justice while playing for the Championship. If we ave learned anything over the last two years, Trump’s Karma Card is the most powerful card in the deck and Muffet selected it.
