I can't comment on the magnitude of her influence relative to other women, but the most obvious example of how little influence she actually exterts over the conference itself is the John Chaney fiasco. She did little more than rubber stamp the CYA efforts of Chaney and Temple. The low point in the conference's handling of the contoversy was her interview with Dan Patrick where she refused to admit that the "remainder of the regular season" suspension was equivalent to a three game suspension. -- Fordham Rams Basketball Message Board

Forgot to add that the conference didn't suspend the guy who committed the ridiculous fouls, but disinvited him to the conference pre-tournament dinner, causing the Temple players to boycott the event. Kept the bleeding going a little while longer and made the conference leadership look inept and petty. (NT) -- Ram '91, Thu April 28, 2005 10:34:30
- She shows no leadership or innovation. I'm confident that there are more than 20 women in sports who are more influential than she is. (NT) -- bfg, Thu April 28, 2005 10:44:13
