Getting the story straight
OK, let's get this straight: It WAS NOT a high-profile job when Auriemma took it. It is now, thanks to him.
So how would you reasonably define today's "high-profile job'' in women's hoops? Isn't it about the same?
If "high-profile'' was only a program that has already had a lot of success ... good grief, how many of those jobs have even come open in the last 15 years or longer?
At this stage in women's basketball, any job at a school willing to really commit resources and enthusiasm to its program could be called high profile or at least have that potential.
Men DO have those jobs; some have had them for a long time. Others are newer. Among the more prominent who were pretty recently elevated or changed jobs are Blair at Texas A&M, Foster at Ohio State and Kurt Budke at Louisiana Tech.
Tom Collen got the Vanderbilt position, but lost it after a résumé gaffe that turned out to be much ado about nothing. He sat out a year and got hired at Louisville. Another man, Chris Denker, got Collen's former job at Colorado State.
And along with those Blair mentioned earlier, here's a few he didn't get around to: New Mexico's Don Flanagan, Georgetown's Pat Knapp, Wisconsin-Green Bay's Kevin Borseth, Alabama's Rick Moody, BYU's Jeff Judkins, TCU's Jeff Mitti

Spotlight: Women’s College Basketball – No. 1 Baylor vs. No. 2 UConn
In a much anticipated women’s college basketball matchup, No. 2 Connecticut faces No. 1 Baylor on Sunday, Dec. 18 (8:30 p.m., ESPN). For the first time in program history, Baylor plays on its home court in front of an advanced sell-out crowd in the Ferrell Center. The women’s Final Four crew of Dave O’Brien, Doris Burke and Rebecca Lobo will call the game, with NBA analyst Jeff Van Gundy.
Junior center Brittney Griner leads the Lady Bears (10-0) averaging a double-double of 22.8 points and 10.7 rebounds per game. UConn (9-0) senior guard Tiffany Hayes is second in scoring for the Huskies at 14.4 points per game, and first in rebounding, taking down 6.2 boards per contest.
ESPN.com’s Mechelle Voepel previews the Connecticut-Baylor matchup, in addition to writing live from the game for ESPN.com and espnW:
While nothing is replacing Tennessee-UConn as that longtime rivalry in women’s hoops, UConn-Baylor has at least some of the same elements as two colorful coaches lead a Southern program against a Northern program.
