He's been a pretty decent ball coach. The rough transition to the Big 12 was more because all he had at hand was tools to compete at the Mountain West level. Now he has the tools to compete at a Big 12 and National Level with an elite basketball facility to play with. It's a solid hire. I mean the Wichita State ball coach would've maybe generated more excitement, but this guy has has a winning pedigree. Besides Geno is the best women's coach of all time(no, not Pat Summit lulz), and he's obviously a dude. Get Shalee to stick around it remains a very good hire.
exactly, pretty decent, meh 
I will say after looking at his resume it appears that he was TCU's Jody Adams, I am a little troubled by him seeming as if he's plateaued. His post season resume is very similar to Deb's, don't be fooled by that dumb post season stat that K-State is throwing out there. TCU has more than a few NITs in that run and very few NCAA wins. His best team was his 04-05 team. TCU had Michael Irvin's niece on that team she's like 6'7" and was just a couple of blocks from breaking the NCAA single season record. That team won 1 game in the tournament and they played that pod at home. At least Deb went to the sweet 16.
I also wholeheartedly reject that point about them transitioning from the Mountain West. As we know TCU played in like 39 conferences in 7 years, but they were not dominant at all, ever. Jody and WSU were 30-6 against the valley the last 2 seasons with 4 titles.
Agree with MIR.
Fired Deb and hired someone with a similar resume.
The biggest upgrade is that the new regime is much cheaper than the old one.
Money shouldn't be the issue here. I'm not very knowledgeable about WBB, but given the fact that it's probably tied with baseball as the most popular non-revenue sport, you can afford to put the money out there even if you're going to operate at a loss. I mean, don't operate at a gigantic loss, but do your best to field a winning team like you do in every other sport. I mean, hell, we built a state-of-the-art practice facility where every single thing is equal between the women and men, so you're already pot committed. Dropping $500k plus isn't crazy, especially if you're a Top 15 program, historically.
When we fired Deb, I texted a friend and said that Currie was probably thinking he could get the same results for half the price. Looks like, on paper, I was probably dead on in how Currie was thinking.
