Yolanda Jones, a senior who signed with the Gamecocks coming out of junior college in 2005 but was denied admission because of academics, was named the tournament MVP.

Classy article. Congrats to the Lady Cajuns!! This is a great win for them and the program. They are playing very well to start the season.

Coaches Hall have been doing special things since they got here, but this win is a marquee win IMO. Hopefully this will start to get peoples' attention and get some better crowds for their games. I look forward to very special things for this team this year.

God Bless

Congrats to the Halls and the Lady Cajuns. The program has made tremendous strides in the last couple of years. Honestly, I didn't know what to expect this year and I have been more than happy. With that 60+ pt win and now a convincing win over an SEC team and the only losses being to Texas and LSU, the program is in great shape.

Anyone kno wwhy there are two head coaches, by the way? Same thing with the softball team.

Its that type of thing that you only see in women's sports and its ridiculous. That is why they have assistants.

State nepotism law will not allow the head coach to hire his or her spouse as an assistant.

In both cases the spouse is highly qualified and each spouse worked several years as a volunteer.

The only way around the situation is to have co-head coaches.

Other benefit is two incomes into the same family "somewhat" offsets the lack of salary we can pay to the head coach in each of these. As an example, I believe even after the substantial raise for Coach Hall last year he's still only in the middle of the pack in the Sunbelt (about $85K, top coach around $125K), which in my estimation is a damn shame, especially based on progress and performance.

Hang in there coach. With the excellence shown in the type of players and quality of individuals recruited and playing for you, things will continue to get better.

In both instances... softball and women's basketball... its working very well, but yet you STILL decide that its a negative and reason to gripe. Why don't we concentrate on complaining about something that REALLY warrants such complaining!
