This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Here's my take (But there are a lot of what ifs) by irishfan2008

Yes Muffet would probably have coached a few more years because Clark would have gotten more wins. She might have been still coaching today which would change recruiting since Niele was an assistant in the NBA.

Yes I agree we'd probably have two championships with Clark.

I thought we would have been seeing a Clark-Maddy combination for the duration of their four years. I think Maddy would have been the beneficiary of Clark's passes like Monika Czinano was. Sam Brunelle also would have had open threes playing with Clark.

Caitlin still develops into the prolific scorer but she doesn't have to score as much because of the talent around her at ND. She may not break all of the records she currently owns.

I think that Olivia probably goes elsewhere if Clark was here. Olivia wanted to play early and often and that wouldn't have happened with Clark here.

Soni, may have come here as she wanted a school with strong academics but she said that Niele was the difference between ND and Stanford. Hannah has a close connection with Niele and also may not be here.
