That is absurd! If that was such a strong reason, maybe we should have asked the mother of Lebron James if she wanted to replace Seth when he was let go. I hope Wolf is successful as I support all Tech teams, and maybe he would have been the strongest candidate, but it should only have happened after interviewing other interested candidates.
From what I gathered from what Weaver said was Dennis Wolff was responsible for his daughter developing into the top girls high school player in the country her senior year and getting a scholarship to UConn, the best women's basketball program. I'm sure Wolff spent thousands of hours coaching and practicing with his daughter since she was very young. Since Wolff was a provened Division 1 men's basketball coach, Weaver felt like he was able to coach women based on his experiences with his daughter. That's how I perceived Weaver's remarks on hiring Wolff. We will all find out soon enough if Weaver's intuition about Wolff was right or wrong.
