I just don't know if you can overstate this: it's freakin incredible what Coach Pinkerton and these Ladies have accomplished in just their 3rd year of existence. Remarkable.
He did sortof the same thing in Tulsa several years ago. They were perennial losers and in his 2nd year they had their first winning season and havnt looked back. Today they are the 24th ranked team in the country.
Well, it took 3 years for Pinkerton's work to be rewarded. He is the 1st coach of Haslam's hires in which GRIZ Nation can truly evaluate the job Coach Pinkerton has done with his own personnel and experience. No way around it, what this program has accomplished is flat out amazing!!! So far, Pinkerton's hire is grading out with an A. Continue to win the conference and get a few tourney W's, then A+.
This next year will be the 1st seasons in which DeCuire and Stitt pretty much will have their own complete staffs and players. I expect big things from the basketball team this coming season. As for football, realistically, I expect improvement. I do feel the youth of the team is a year away from being a national power again.
Here is to hoping football and basketball have similar successful results as Coach Pinkerton has with softball, this season. :thumb:
