Shannon Miller out at UMD?

Re: Shannon Miller out at UMD?

The AD simply should have told it like it was and not threw this unplausable smokescreen out there. The funny thing is had he told it like it was, no one would have argued based on what we all have seen her do in person and what she had done in the past.

the AD isn't concerned what you or I say or think, more concerned with lawyers

I agree, but an AD is just as concerned about PR, and it is a huge PR hit when your program is getting dragged through the mud for a few weeks or more. He was probably hoping they would have sucked this year and he could have used that as the sole public reason.

or hoping that she could put the program and the "student Athletes" above herself...but if she was capable of that level of concord she may very well be in the midst of signing a new contract.

For a second there I thought you were referring to a different Brad! :confused:

HA! I thought that for a second & then thought, "Ya know, butter wouldn't melt in his mouth when talking about anyone" so I knew it couldn't be that one.
 
Re: Shannon Miller out at UMD?

Or maybe he was simply trying to take the high road...one to which she is incapable of maneuvering on.

guess again:
"Miller said that she and her staff planned to finish the season and that she had retained a lawyer who specialized in Title IX and gender-equity cases."

UMD will likely settle out of court and we'll be rid of her once and for all
hopefully she'll go back to Canada,
they seem to have forgotten she is the only coach not to win gold

My guess is she was as warm and wonderful to the good folks up there and, combined with a silver medal, would not engender a warm homecoming.

I guess they forgot to call her when they went out and hired a coach with no womens hockey experience in the last Olympics...

Yes lawyers but if the you, I, other supporters or are donating alums that don't like how it's handled, whether they want Miller there or not it WILL matter.
 
Re: Shannon Miller out at UMD?

Have 10 players transferred out of UMD in the last few years?

A friend pointed out that there were 7 underclassmen on last years roster that do not appear on this years. I went looking for last years roster to see who & if I could see were they went but the only roster on the UMD site is this years. Interestingly enough they picked up a refugee from Grand Forks.

Actually, they DID call her. She turned them down because she was happy with her job at UMD.

With 7 freshmen, two transfers, and the return of Lacquette and Gillanders, players were told it would be highly competitive to gain a spot in the roster that dressed for games. Some players opted to transfer to programs in which they would actually get playing time.

Were there plans to bring so many new faces in prior to all the departures? That seems excessive, even for UMD.

Yes there was... As I mentioned in a previous post, many players are forced to wait an extra year before UMD will admit them. I believe Two of the Swedes were supposed to play last year but were not admitted.
