QUOTE Texas Tech head coach Marsha Sharp plans to retire at season's end, The Dallas Morning News reported. The school will hold a press conference at 3:30 ET, but has not announced the subject. Sharp, in her 24th year at Tech, is the school's all-time winningest coach (570-187), leading the Lady Raiders to the 1993 national championship. Sharp, who was inducted into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame in 2003, became the head coach in 1982 after one season as an assistant and began building a program that would reshape the women's basketball landscape in the state of Texas. In 1993 behind Sharp and superstar Sheryl Swoopes, the Lady Raiders won the first team national championship in school history with a 31-3 record. Tech would go on to win three straight Big 12 regular-season championships from 1998 to 2000. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncw/news/story?id=2343218 There goes the only coach that has got Tech to a national championship. |

its on the news right this minute (fox)
"this is a decision i made last fall... all the administration were informed of my decisions last october... significant health concerns that got my attention... many thoughts and emotions... gratitude for the incredible opportunities/moments... support in every possible way... thanks to all my staff... incredible fans theres a reason they call us lady raider nation... look forward to continuing association from a different role... thank you from the bottom of my heart to all the women who have worn the lady raider uniform - the manner in which you represent us gives me pride but the things you are doing now makes me feel the best... today came a little sooner than expected... adamant about protecting this team each game about the girls and not me... many members of local media have been respectful but not the case with everyone, therefore prompting the announcement to be earlier than planned... what goes around comes around... hope and sole focus to continue our season as long as possible... will work hard for the remaining games and postseason play" as close to verbatim as i could type while watching it live -------------------- Forget regret

Did I thank you for something? I could have swore I was being sarcastic by saying you made me laugh not thanking you... Maybe I'm just too stupid to read my own post?

Here is the response i got when I e-mailed the DMN and asked them why they broke the news against Sharp's wishes.
QUOTE Thanks for reading our blog and participating. Our role is to be vigorous in pursuing the news. That's what we did in reporting the story on Marsha Sharp's retirement. The significance and value of the news story are obvious. In addition to winning a national championship, Sharp turned Texas Tech's women's basketball program into one of the most respected in the nation. She is an icon in women's college basketball. We were not the only news organization to have heard talk that Sharp was planning to retire. Others were chasing the same story. We got it first. We will continue to pursue stories that we think are important to our readers. Thanks again for writing. Bob Yates Assistant Managing Editor/Sports The Dallas Morning News It sounds as if the news was going to broke to public so the DMN decided to beat the others to it. |
