Fralick to Michigan State

[factman]

Some of you older fans may remember Pickens mother, Carolyn Mast, that played at OU. She was probably the best player in the MAC during her time.

Detroit Free Press says Robyn is getting $900,000/year for 6 years. Any question why she took the job?

WOW, that’s a no-brainer. Good for her. I hope she wins a title there.

Can’t say no to that. Would’ve taken her 18 years here to make what she’ll make there in 6.

Kari Pickens caps a 37-0 season at Ashland with a national title win. She won one as a player, one as an assistant, and now one as a head coach.

142-15 in the 5 seasons since Fralick left. Unreal.

McGuff, Kevin, OSU WBB, = $675,000

As I'm a huge fan of OSU women's basketball (had season tickets for many years), I wish her well -- but no titles over my Buckeyes.

This is misleading. McGuff's basic contract is $675,000 but his annual pay exceeds $1.05 million.

That's a stunner if that's anywhere close to accurate. Reports were that MSU was looking to pay the new coach less than the 700-800k that Merchant was making. So if true, our run to the Fab 4 likely got her a big raise.

Good for her.

It's true. Fully guaranteed $5.4 million over 6 years with a significant increase to the assistant coaching pool along with other upgrades. There's an article in the Lansing paper where the AD says because Fralick was becoming in high demand with several programs that he had to blow any other potential offer out of the water.

Significant increase in assistant coaching pool. Does BG even have a chance of hiring the Ashland coach?

[Redwingtom]

Robyn just had her introductory press conference. Only real news is that she said that she's still in the process of putting her staff together, so no news on whether she's taking any coaches with her.

Also the MSU AD, Alan Haller, was apparently at our WNIT game with Florida observing. Said he spoke to several fans who sang Robyn's praises. WTG, guys...it's all your fault!

It looked like assistant coach Kim Cameron was there as well

I looked like assistant coach Kim Cameron was there as well

Bummer. She's easily my top choice for BG. Hope we go get Kari Pickens, then.

[OSUFALCON]

Doesn’t mean she still isn’t a top candidate but I would say she will follow Fralick to MSU with a significant raise if she isn’t hired as the head coach.
