Breaking News: Young, Durr and Donations -- WEDNESDAY CARDINAL COUPLE - News Paper

LACROSSE

Side view of the Lacrosse Press Box

As Case covered in yesterday's article, Kellie Young has been relieved of her duties as the head coach for the UofL Lacrosse squad. I believe Case covered it well and I have little to add to the situation due to my lack of familiarity with the coaching staff and the entirety of the situation. I also thought Paulie made his points loud and clear and if you haven't read Tuesday's article yet, I highly recommend you do. 

I will say this. If the accusations about Coach Young are true, then it is in the best interest of the University to part ways with her despite her success with the program. 

Also, what is up with the University paying her legal counsel? Craig Dilfer, who is representing Young, is getting paid by UofL. Sports Information Director Kenny Klein relayed the message that Dilfer will continue to be paid by UofL because he represents the University on the case and not Young personally. UofL expects that Young will cooperate with the legal matter. 

Let's recap. Young is relieved of duty. Young gets legal counsel. UofL is paying the legal counsel because they say he represents them and not just her. I'm no lawyer, but doesn't this seem just a wee bit strange? As Paulie mentioned on his Wednesday morning SPORTS SHORTS segment on WCHQ 100.9 FM -- where's Matlock? Perry Mason? William Shatner? My Cousin Vinny? 

I agree with Paulie. I'd probably want my own legal counsel that wasn't being paid the plaintiff. 

We're far from the end-point resolution in the Young matter.

In the meantime, what's left of the Lacrosse roster waits for a new leader and direction. 

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

With women's basketball just two days away, we see more news every day about Jeff's Walz's squad. The latest includes Asia Durr and her incredible guard skills. She has been named to the 2018 Ann Meyers Drysdale Award Watch List. The annual honor in its inaugural year recognizes the top shooting guard in women's college basketball. 

There isn't a better player in WBB college hoops right now to win the award. Durr is coming off a record-breaking season as a sophomore and is in a perfect position to continue breaking records. She's already in the 1,000 point club and owns the Cardinal women's record for 119 three-pointers in one season. She's also on a streak of 39 straight games with a made "THREEEE!" and we hope she continues the school record this season. Expect great things this year out of Asia, including -- hopefully -- a few national awards. This team has a goal of reaching The Final Four in Columbus and getting UofL their first National Championship in women's basketball. Durr will be essential in helping them acheive this goal. Night, night! 

DONATION MONTH

My first time contributing to Cardinal Couple was when I appeared on THE CARDINAL COUPLE RADIO HOUR as a guest in the spring of 2016. I started joining them full-time earlier this year on radio with the "A-Team" on Saturdays when I'm not busy turning 20's into 5's and 10's at the bank. When Paulie asked if I would be interested in doing a weekly article, I gratefully accepted the request. 

Beside my bold predictions and weekly write ups for the site, I've been seen at numerous women's athletic events with a camera. Sometimes I catch a good play. Sometimes I catch a funny face from a player. Sometimes I forget to take the lens cap off and end up with a blank photo. 

I do enjoy being a part of Cardinal Couple and appearing on THE CARDINAL COUPLE RADIO HOUR on my free Saturdays down in the basement at WCHQ 100.9 FM. The generous donations we receive from our friends, fans and followers go a long way and help keep CARDINAL COUPLE running. The site does have two sponsors (Sportsmen's Supper Club and Wissing Wealth Management) who we gratefully acknowledge and thank, but the main source of funding is from you -- the readers. 

I'm glad to be a part of it all but it is YOU that is Cardinal Couple and something we never forget. Please consider helping us out with a donation.
