*As much of a savant of women's hoops that I am, I had no idea that WNBA legend and former USC great Cynthia Cooper (now Cynthia Cooper-Dyke) was coaching at the collegiate level. Cooper-Dyke has led Prairie View A&M into the tournament in just her second season. Needless to say, any BCS school would love to have a big name come join their staff as coach and that might be just what happens with all of the openings out there...
*Cincinnati coach Laurie Pirtle saw the writing on the wall and resigned after 21 seasons at the helm. Pirtle never made any significant accomplishments in terms of tournament runs, only advancing to the second round once, but was a mainstay at UC (more of a sign that the administration didn't really care about the state of women's hoops.) Now that UC is in the Big East, though, it seems they might be taking it a little more seriously and might attract someone to build that program up...
