I said, 5 to 7 years. Let's see, KM has been at Baylor 9 years, GB has been at A&M 6 years. KC has been at Tech 3. Can you not give her some time. And, yes we were in the mix for a while in the Big 12, but not after the young new coaches came in and gave Sharp some competition. After that, she could not compete with only recruiting West Texas talent. Those were the only ones that wanted to come here. Texas was the place that most of them wanted to go. You now have to recruit every where, not just Texas. And Curry definitely has more contacts nationwide than Sharp ever did. Just look at the recruits for next. year One is from Canada, one from Colorado.. As I said in my last post, the recruits that Curry was forced to bring in were all JC players. All of the good HS recruits had all ready committed. So, she was left with attempting to pull from what was left from the JC ranks. Are these the type players that she would normally recruit. No, probably not. She just tried to build the program as quickly as she could with the talent that she was able to bring in.. As for Seals, any coach worth a darn is going to say that their player is the best. Had she made the grades and been at Tech for all 4 years, then she probably would have been a much better player than she is today. Not too many come out of junior college and progress as they should. Go watch a junior college team, they just don't play up to the D1 schools and thus players are not pushed to become the player that they could be. Honestly guys. Quit your b____n. Give her the time that she deserves. Dang guys, do you have a tough time reading. I said, 5 to 7 years. Let’s see, KM has been at Baylor 9 years, GB has been at A&M 6 years. KC has been at Tech 3.

Nobody can use the excuse that its "Marsha's " recruits if they are that bad then just bench them. But that is not what's happening. Actually her recruits play more than Curry's ie Murphree and Seals and lately even Tiny. And to Jr. above at least we were in the mix of things when Sharp was here. As for your football comment the program is being built. Yes I know it has taken time to build up prestige so people actually want to come here. Tech girls basketball already had that and she has wasted and diminidhed that prestige. Your right Eric.

And during that time, Texas won a national championship and were in the top tier of womens basketball because of what, quality of coach, quality of players, what? We would go to Austin and beat them, they come her and beat us, and no other team was a challenge...to answer your question on how long it will take, if there were only 100 teams, and each team won a national championship, then if I paid attention in math class, 100 years. Yes Baylor won the national championship, yes, Tech and Texas has won the national championship, but look at the Big 12, no other team has won it...Oklahoma will be a terrible team when the twins are gone, so everybody will again be equal...do not take me wrong, yeh, winning is everything, losing is not, but at the end of the season, if you have a winning record, then the season is a success, and if you go to the big tournament and lose the first game, you might not feel successful, but you are...3 years is not enough to judge...

Kim Mulkey at Baylor and Gary Blair at A&M have made their teams top notched programs in the same amount of time or less that Curry has had at Tech. Baylor even won a national championship. I remember when Seals was first recruited out of high school. Her high school coach said she was going to be a force in the Big 12. I admire Seals and don't believe for a minute that she has gotten worse rather than better. So, what's the problem? Maybe it's the coaching or lack of it.

Coach Curry is in her third year. When she took over this program, she was left with very little to build a program on. No athleticism, speed, etc. So, she attempts to build quickly with Jr. college players. By the time she started recruiting most of the really good players had been signed. She left Purdue with the #1 recruiting class in the nation. Now, with the class coming in next year (rated as high as #10 in the nation by some) she is slowly trying to bring this program up to the level that can compete with the Baylors and Oklahomas. Let’s see now. Coach Leach has been with our program for 9 years now. Has he brought the program to where we want it. No. We still can’t win the “big” ones. So, you ask how many years does it take. I’d say 5 to 7 to fix the problems that Sharp left with this program. Okay, let’s see. Coach Curry is in her third year.

Bubba says the lady raiders suck, and Eric agrees, lets see, the football program has been a failure for as long as I can remember, finally in the last 2 or so years, they won, but no bowl victory. Cannot win the big one, must be that S--- word. Mens basketball, the great Bobby Knight came in, did not do much, his deal was for Pat Knight to be the next coach, both recruited and guess what, they are selected players and guess what, that S--- word again, they are pitiful. Marsha Sharp coached for how many years, how many national championships, one in all of those years, and she walked away from the players on the court now, Marsha Sharp recruits. Different coaches do different things, they look for that hidden talent that we, as fan, do not know what to look for, but with the right guidance, became great. Not every team in america is a national champion, not every team in america is a conference champion, not every team in america has a winning season. GIVE THE TEAM A CHANCE, GET OFF OF THE COACHES POSTERIOR....maybe Bubba and Eric are the real sucker here. Hey lady raider fans, let’s look at the athletic programs.

Just how much time does Kristy Curry need to make this team a contender? 5 years? 10 years? I think by now we would have seen an improvement as far as intensity and results. Success in the Big 10 doesn't equate to success in the Big 12. And that's not just for women's basketball, but for most of the other sports too. There is no one who wants the Lady Raiders to suceed more than I do, but there doesn't seem to be any measurable progress in the program now. I agree with the above post.

I for one think they have shown flashes of being good. But for 3 years it has been that way. It all gets blamed on "energy". Please tell me when you stop making excuses and just say your not doing the job you have been hired to do. I'm sorry but she is being paid to apparently take up space on the side of court. Even if they play lights out at the end of every year that is not enough. Where is the carry over from one season to the next with her teams. There is not and thats what most fans are saying. I do support them, but they are not giving much for fans TO support. To Lady Raider Fan : I see what you are saying:
