| 1638308666897055747 | For @WVUWBB fans distressed about losing out on quality, up-&-coming coaches, don’t forget Tianni Kelly at Charleston. Her teams beat Glenville in the @TheMountainEast c’ship in 2021-22 before Pioneers went on to win the @NCAADII c’ship. And UC beat GSU 11/22/22 this past season. | 1 |

| 1638254848767324166 | @WVU1313 @Jeffery_Cobb @WVUWBB He isn't complaining about her leaving, but about the way she treated the players. I understand her taking a job closer to family and that pays better, but she should have met with the players to tell them she was leaving as opposed to letting them find out through twitter. | 0 |

It was time for a change. We can't be afraid to look for someone new just because we got burned. | 14 |

| 1638178559796625408 | @WVU1313 @Jeffery_Cobb @WVUWBB But did he tell the team to wait in the locker room then sneak out and then the players have to be told to check Twitter to know what’s going on? It’s dirty the way she left not that she left after a year.. | 5 |
