You are not going to see many Div I NCAA
WBB teams modeling their gamestyle after
ISU, and the reason is below...
ISU WBB Conference records
2008 07-09 .438 7th --- NCAA Second Round (1-1)
2007 10-06 .625 4th (T) NCAA Second Round (1-1)
2006 07-09 .438 8th (T) WNIT Second Round (1-1)
2005 12-04 .750 3rd (T) NCAA First Round (0-1)
2004 07-09 .438 7th (T) WNIT Semifinals (3-1)
2003 07-09 .438 8th --- no post season invite
2002 09-07 .563 6th --- NCAA Second Round (1-1)
If, starting next season, and for a few consecutive seasons,
ISU can post double digit wins in conference play and advance to the Sweet 16 and beyond a few times, then you may start to see some teams imitate what
ISU does.
I do think it would be very cool for coaches to model their motivational style, player interaction style, and demeanor after BF.
