Only coach I am aware of who has had 10,000 attendance games for women's basketball at two different schools.

Lindsay had her 10,000 fan game here in 2019 against UConn.
I also realize that Mulkey may be another coach with 10,000 fan crowds at two different schools - Baylor and LSU. But that is unique company, which Lindsay has now joined.
You are right about that game against Stanford, with Alexis Gray-Lawson leading the team. Joanne did less well at Virginia, although her best year was her last year there, tying for sixth in the ACC and making it to the NCAA second round.wvitbear said:

Gottlieb was not always a great recruiter. In her last few years, she seemed to be losing the recruiting battles. And the cupboard was diminished when Smith became HC.
Gottlieb may have convinced Watkins to stay home at USC, but couldn't get Ionescu to stay home.

Once she had her baby, it changed how she recruited. Was up to her assistants.

You are hanging that on her? Notice when she has the money, she gets Watkins, and when others have the money, they land Ionescu.ncbears said:

Watkins wanted to stay home (in LA), and wanted to go to a program that hadn't had a lot of recent success. USC fit her requirements, so I'm not sure how much Lindsay had to do with it. Some, obviously.
A key indicator might be where Kiki Iriafen lands. If she returns to SoCal, she could choose UCLA or USC -- if Lindsay gets out-recruited by Cori Close, that might tell us something about their relative recruiting ability.

Ionescue was not driven away by Lindsey. I can't say what I think really happened but ithad to do with the dynamics of the city of Berkeley.
This board has criticized Close in the past for her being a Christian. Not lately but in the past. The school that gets Ir (SP( might be the school that has her major.

Remember, Lindsay abandoned Cal in mid-June. The trajectory for the team was not particularly good and Lindsay jumped ship at what is a bad time for a program's calendar....Meanwhile, I DO think it's easier to recruit at U$C for women's basketball than Cal, just a fact. That said, good for her....I no longer care....UCLA and U$C are off the radar unless we meet up with them post-season.

Kiki is visiting the other USC it seems too....so perhaps she'll end up with Dawn? https://www.reddit.com/r/NCAAW/comments/1ccwfph/stanford_transfer_kiki_iriafen_is_set_to_visit/

I claim no deep knowledge, but probably more than most. Cal was never really in the hunt for Sabrina -- wouldn't have mattered who was the head coach. Well, maybe if it was Geno ...

Talia von Oelhoffen, OSU transferred to USC, Calif.
She is a great scorer and very competitive, just what
the Trojans need.
Kiki Irafen, Stanford to USC, Calif.
Attended the Stanford/Iowa State tournament, Kiki was terrific.
She walked in front of me after the game. She is an athlete, and
guided Stanford to the O.T. win. What a great game, so glad my son
invited me.
