New LSU Women’s Basketball Coach ---- article in Sun. June 17, 2007, Memphis, TN Commercial Appeal by Ron Higgins ---- Some quotes ----- ********************************************************************* "This was one of those, 'My God, we can hire him?'" said LSU athletic director Skip Bertman of the pain-free hiring of Chancellor. "This was pretty easy." Indeed. Faced with a program about to blow up on all levels -- it was a public relations disaster throughout March Madness once Chatman resigned -- Chancellor has come in and changed attitudes in just two months. Since Chancellor last played in the SEC, the league has only gotten stronger. And Tennessee is defending national champion, so some things never change, such as Chancellor's competitive drive. "I swore I'd never coach against Pat (UT) and Andy (UGA) again," said Chancellor, whose Ole Miss teams lost four times in the regional finals and never made it to the Final Four. "They've already said they're going to pay me back for all the second-guessing I've done on television. "I said, 'Well, let me tell you something boys and girls, as long as I've got Fowles ..." And with that, Chancellor laughed and smiled the smile of a man who has a few more places to go and several more things to do. ******************************************************************** The Link: http://www.commercialappeal.com/mca/basketball/article/0,1426,MCA_466_5590067,00.html (as usual, you may need to copy and paste the link into your browser) ldskule: ldskule: ldskule:
The Houston Comets are winless so far this season, like lost 10 in a row. Maybe they'd like Van back!
