Let’s be clear, this is all Caitlin Clark. Everyone is talking about women’s basketball because of an electrifying player. When it’s all said and done she’ll be one of top 5 most spectacular basketball players ever-men and women.
She created a true team, how she managed to have everyone play up to and beyond their potential, play with love and for each other and have fun dong it was a miracle and inspiring!
So she created a team but Dawn Staley lost five players that won two national championship in four year and lost to iwoa put together five different players . Had a undefeated season , beat 11 teams that was ranked in top twenty while being under defeated and beat her and Clark for the National championship. O Dawn Staley over the last three years has a 109 - 3 record while iwoa lost 4 games last , not to mention the 7 games they lost the year before and you want to hide the nine games they lost the year before that. 0 while iwoa been selling out for last two years . South Carolina then selling out for last 12 years . But I guess you giving her credit for one reason because the FACTS show Dawn Staley has done it better . O if you really talking about creating true teams the FACTS. Show UConn and Tennessee had done it better than anyone over the last 20 years
@@larryhinton991 pretty sure they were just complimenting Bluder on an amazing season and career… they didn’t mention anything about any other coaches, didn’t say she was better than anyone else. Are people not able to simply compliment people without others complaining or being mad about it? No one is saying Coach Staley isn’t doing great things..? I’m so confused why you’re mad lol
Thank you Debbie for having Lisa on, and Thank you Coach Bluder for everything. Im a Hawkeye in Minnesota. I enjoy Being a New Fever Fan and WNBA Fan now and Seeing Caitlin Adjust, Grow, and Succeed, And its just The Begining…. Thank you Coach Bluder.
Great interview thank you both enjoyed your honesty. Im tuned in Debbie to your show and Lisa have a wonderful stress free life style with your family.
Lisa and the HawkEyes did so much to sports just as the LeBron cavs and the 2000s Lakers team did. Lisa hit the nail when she said, literally everyone's lives improved business wise. What a great mind! And of course, the legendary Caitlyn Clark started that revolution
Game 1 - 13 uncalled fouls against Clark. Game 2 -16 plays Clark frozen out with no touch, sat a whole quarter. Every game - Clark face guarded and double-teamed like it's game 7, opponents screaming if they get a stop as if OT in the finals Final four '24- rabid Ucon fans bomb Iowa with death threats Final four '23 -"Coach of the Year" Dawn Staley says "We're not monkeys" to coach Lisa Bluder who coached the the least-starred team to reach the highest level with the highest efficiency offense; who never did or would say such a thing; Andrew just beats Staley with better coaching. Finals '23 - South Carolina players viral to LSU players Dawn Staley's framing that "Iowa is racist", they themselves then acting with the same bigotry towards Clark that Tiger Woods faced nearly 30 years ago. '23-'24 - The difference today: instead of nearly all of the public overwhelmingly rallying behind Clark, the way they did behind Tiger Woods, a huge faction is jumping on the "everything is about race" dei brainwashed cult bandwagon. Future Failure - The race-colored-glasses wearing Hive mind is incapable of basic logic which leads to self-sabotage and failure which will only lead to blame and then more failure and then more blame. REAL Culture is the Foundation - In all of this noise, too few have recognized that the entire Clark phenomena has been " about " Iowa - the state, the school, and the culture. Iowa has the deepest history of supporting women's basketball and the most loyal college fan base in the country. It's not even close. Iowans were supporting girls basketball tournaments with the same passion as boys back when it was 6 vs 6. Of course, in a culture where girls are never taught that they can't do anything a girl - with an average basketball body - would grow up believing that she can do anything and doing just that - setting every major record for the regular season, and the tournament, and taking the least-starred team the farthest, 2 years in a row, did anyone has ever done. The Iowa fans, like their coaches, exhibit the most enduring loyalty, win or lose. Iowa fans only expect two things, great effort, and loyalty. Also Iowa fans extend a warm ham of support to people of all backgrounds who would join their team or even engage them in good sportsmanship. This is why players, of all backgrounds, we'll save for the rest of their life that they feel like Iowa is their second home. Clark had the courage to buck the Monopoly talent pipeline and to remain with those who had built her up. These millions of Iowans then caused such a rise in ticket sales and viewership that Clark became a national phenomenon in college. Her Iowa buoyed popularity became a positive viral affect where non Iowans learned about Clark's unparalleled talent and good character. Now Clark has brought all of these fans with her to the WNBA, well, to the Fever. Courage is the Key- Every previous great player had the choice to try and build her own Legend at a unique school. They were just kids, so we let them off the hook, but their parents and mentors failed to see the obvious - just as it is with the night sky, a new star cannot be stabd out if it is behind a whole group of stars. If Paige Becker's had instead gone to Minnesota she would have built her Legend as big as Clark's with her talent buoyed on the support of millions of Minnesotan fans. Now they don't care about her because she didn't care that much about them. Instead she went to exhibit A: Ucon which has been killing the wbb competitiveness for years and only developed a small (yet rabid) fan base - failing to even transfer enough fans to the wnba, for all of their top players, to even sell out the same state Connecticut Sun or any other team with UCon players. A'ja Wilson had the same choice - to take the risk of building her own legend or to join a one of the few talent Monopoly front-runners. She made her choice and now has the results if that choice They all have. No one is inspired buy a player who signs up for sure trophies. People are inspired by unexpected underdogs who develop organically with a loyal team and do something both unique amazing. This is extremely rare and difficult to do, but Clark had the courage to try and do it, that most of all separates both her off the car and on the court choices. College is the WNBA Driver- if basketball players fail to develop a following in college, then they will fail to have a fan base and therefor fail to have market traction because the WNBA is not a positive part of the zeitgeist. Self-fulfilling Tragedy- today we have far too many people who mistake Manufactured Culture for real and Organic Culture. Instead of benefiting from being within a United States where people can look towards other states and learn from their strengths, and in this example learning from the great loyalty of Iowans, people are being led by the nose of a fake culture media machine that actually degrades them and then tells them that they can't learn from Iowans because Iowans are "too white!" People have a choice, whether or not they see it, whether or not they use it.
@@robinfinke4236 that's right friend, we do need more of a sense of humor about it. Unfortunately this is become such a quagmire that there is some complexity and for anyone who can take 5 minutes out of their lives it takes a bit to understand the webs that have been woven
Unfortunately CC has loosing coach The higher-ups need to change head coach. They need to get rid of size you can’t have a unique player like Kaitlyn Clark, and have a coach who has no idea what she’s doing and the WNBA does not have forever to keep this huge amount of viewers they need to change her and they need to do it now so they can keep eyeballs on the game.
Clark is like Brady. Everyone looks better when they are around. So many Patriot receivers got a payday after playing with Brady and going to another team. Once they left they turned into the pumpkins that they were all along. Belichick without Brady regressed back to the sub .500 coach that he always was. Bluder should protect her legacy a stay retired. She rode Clark’s coattails like everyone else did.
I noticed she didn’t say Taylor either. I’m sure there’s nothing behind it.. but still… Taylor came in and made some big shots in the Big 10 tournament this year. Honestly, I don’t remember her missing any shots. Then she didn’t play (barely) at all in the NCAA tournament. I thought that was a little strange too. I’m thinking she’ll play a crucial part of the team this upcoming season tho.
u need a coach like this woman who can know who they are an their capability as players this woman watch the game last night an saw the total crap she was doing as a coach nothing but total crap an I know seeing two of her players on one team getting to play their game an her next player being slaughtered by a stupid coach an can help that hurts u deep an I know what am saying I play sports an train players an if u can't know their strength an weakness u won't know how to play them an that's reality an this woman is a flop big time to this team
