2010 just gets worse and worse in Westwood


A giant of the game, the ONLY women's head coach ever at UCLA, has retired. Stunning, but just the latest in a series of nutty events in Westwood. There are a few coaches you can refer to by one name. Russ, Chuck, Al, Mick, Brian, Dunning, Cook, Terry, Marv, Dave...and Andy.

Let's put his career into perspective. When Andy was hired:
- Cartoons were two-dimensional and drawn by actual people.
- People smoked cigarettes in places other than huddled groups outside office buildings.
- Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison were still mostly sober.
- The Kansas City Chiefs were still considered a professional football team.
- It took a computer as large as a room to produce the same memory capabilities as your iPod nano.

But now comes the interesting part: The Great UCLA Coach Bonanza. Who wants it? Who can afford it? Can UCLA afford them? How far into the valley do you have to live to work there? Stay tuned, true believers!
