What players have left? Ayana Brown? Schiano? (Injury!)Molly Light? (Not a D-1 player,only here to play with sister).The men have lost Price, Robertson and Galvanoni in the past few years? Who else has left the women's team?

Menzies, I have to disagree when you say that Nolan's not a genius in tight spots...... implying that she is not good at tight situations.

I have seen the Women in many close, tight and critical games, and they have comne thru many times..... and most of them in memorable fashion. Even as recent as last year their Quarter-Final OT win over Canisius in the MAAC Tourney was intense and a tremendous comeback. The game ended after midnight and all Fairfield Fans just congrigated on the court..... needing to discuss what they just saw and experienced. No one wanted top leave.

Who remembers Chantell Williams shot to win the game in the MAAC Tourney after being down 8 with less than a minute to play.

And my favorite Women's moment was when Nolan took Jessica Grossarth out of a MAAC Tourney semi-final after a bad play. Grossarth was so angry at herself, at Nolan, and at the score that she came to the bench kicked over 3-4 chairs as they went flying, and did the same to the Gatorade cooler..... it was classic. Grossarth then sat in a chair, towel over her head, and probably crying. With the Stags losing, and one of their best players emotionally out of control..... Nolan somehow made it work. She sat Grossarth for about 8 minutes, got the situation under control, and the Stags eventually won a nail biter with Grossarth playing a big part.

Normally, you don't want players acting like Grossarth did, but her emotions were natural... almost John Tice-like. Love to see players with that type of spirit. Nolan knows how to handle the girls, and knows how to get the most out of them.

I can go on and on. But Nolan has had a great W-L record, but also she has directed her teams to hundreds of memorable moments.

JoeStag,
Monday was another example. Down 8 with less than 3 minutes left, Chartier injured and on the bench, Hammerer injured and in street clothes sitting next to Schrene, and the Stags came back to force OT and then win the game against a good Loyola team. I am a 10 year season ticket holder and can remember many times taht we won late in games. Don't understand the comment. Maybe we were confised with TOT.

As a Loyola women's hoops fan, I feel that Dianne is a very good coach. One tremendous coaching skill of her's is the ability to work the officials. She gets a lot more than her share of close calls. Her job is to win games and by working the officials she gets some calls that utlimately win her games.

Fairfield and St Peter's are consistently at the top of the conference. The reason for this year in and year out success is the quality of their coaches. You all should be grateful that she has hung around all of these years. If there is one thing that will cause a MAAC level program to take a step back it is losing a successful coach.
