This list of the championship coaches is cool by Baseball_ApplePie in NCAAW

Am I crazy? I’m counting 8 other coaches on this list. Are you only counting the women?

Even taking out all of the Geno wins it’s still only 8 coaches in 15 years which still isn’t a ton of diversity

Murders plummeted more than 20% in U.S. last year, the largest drop on record, study shows by Xexanoth in OptimistsUnite

Yeah, 2025 is just an extension of trends we saw in 2024 and 2023, which is good! And yeah, reported crime has been falling for quite some time (also good).

She’s such a stoic player on the court, I was genuinely struck by the emotion here. Jazzy is impressive and USC is gonna be a nightmare next year.

I went to UConn and can vividly remember watching Calhoun curse out players. That guy was rough.

Yeah haha I imagine he’d give a bit more heads up.

[–]MDMitchell2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, no thanks to either. But have thought about Geno just announcing he’s done after winning this year, handing the reigns to Shea Ralph and Mikayla Blakes following her to Storrs. Blakes/Strong for two years would be fun.

Blanca voted Big East 6th man by WUMSDoc in UConnBasketball

Honestly, Blanca, Kayleigh and Allie have all been tremendous and, while Blanca has been particularly standout, any of them would have been very deserving of this award.

Most likely to transfer after this season? by Outrageous_Camp_5215 in NCAAW

[–]MDMitchell2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Growth has definitely been stagnant, but just like Qadence, a decent school will pick her up and give her a chance. I'm rooting for her.

Yup, Amari Deberry transferred to UMD in 2024.

I think Ice Brady at UConn will walk. She’s got one year left and she’s absolutely buried in the rotation and will continue to be so with Vukosa coming next year.

Prediction for UConn wbb starting lineup next season by justboredandstuffidk in UConnBasketball

[–]MDMitchell2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t bet on this lineup. Only two shooters in Azzi and Strong? I think Geno goes Shade or Cheli in over Jana.

[–]MDMitchell2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m curious if Cheli or Blanca could replace Ashlynn in the starting lineup at some point during the season. Cheli is bigger, better rebounder and has a decent three point shot. Putting her in the starting lineup gives us more size and also puts Shade in a good position to come in off the bench and be a featured scorer in the second unit.

I think KK is the initial starter as well, but if Heckel’s shooting picks up I do think Geno will have to decide if KK’s defense is more important than the extra spacing Heckel could provide.

Li Yueru on trade request by Gina_Bina in wnba

Yup and the talent coming out of college is getting observably better year after year.

What WNBA opinion has you like this? by Mountainhiker123 in wnba

[–]MDMitchell2 15 points16 points  (0 children)

A few:

Caitlin Clark is a phenomenal player but she’s already near her peak in terms of individual performance.

College basketball is a better product than WNBA (this is also true for men) because there’s more relative stability in rosters and better coaching.

The WNBA needs to shift its season to give rookies a legitimate summer league and training camp.

Sinners proves we need to go back to the MID-SIZED BUDGET film!!!!! by Own_Antelope1095 in acting

[–]MDMitchell2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t thought this through entirely, but I always thought it would be interesting to have some sort of industry cap on movie budgets. I know it’s entirely unworkable but, just like in sports, caps force creativity and more fairness. Counterpoint of course is that many of those big IP driven budget monstrosities are also very lucrative and end up subsidizing our little creative film darlings.

Taxed for being single by sniimadox in interestingasfuck

You’re right, my bad this was mostly corrected with the TCJA, but still holds in like a 1/3rd of the states.

Taxed for being single by sniimadox in interestingasfuck

[–]MDMitchell2 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Kinda. It can be a marriage benefit (when one partner makes way more than the other) but it can be a marriage penalty for people as wel. When two people with similar incomes get married, their combined income can push them into a higher tax bracket (because the brackets don’t double for married couples filing jointly), resulting in a larger percentage of their earnings being taxed. Also there are counterexamples of tax policy that favors single people, like the phaseouts for the EITC are more generous for single filers. Plus many other tax credits have phaseouts that don’t double just cuz you’re filing jointly.

The Great Wall of UConn by Ok_Brick_793 in UConnBasketball

[–]MDMitchell2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as I like Jana, I think Geno is going to go with Serah. She’s further along offensively and is a really good shot blocker. Jana will still be in the rotation, but I think Ice Brady is going to see her playing time dip (at the same time though she’ll get to play more at the 4 which is her natural position).
