Glance out? Women's basketball search continues...

On Friday, media outlets all over Raleigh reported that Stephanie Glance is no longer in contention for the head coaching position for women's basketball. 

If this is true, Lee Fowler has a very tough job ahead of him. The whole women's job as a whole seems like a lose lose for Fowler and potentially whoever gets the job. 

I thought Fowler would hire Glance right away and end the speculation following the end of the season. Glance seemed like the obvious choice and was Yow's chosen successor so to speak. But the more I thought about it the more I started to believe that the hire just wasn't that easy. If Fowler had hired Glance early and the next couple of years would have gone south, what would have happened at that point? Firing Glance two years into her job would have been tough. That being said, it's surprising me that Fowler isn't hiring Glance. I thought he would make the easy choice. 

Who knows what he's going to do now. He said the decision would come by mid-April and Monday is the 13th, so I expect a decision soon. Hopefully he brings someone in who recognizes the importance of Yow who can also build a new bridge for the program.
