The nature of the coaching profession is that someday, you’ll lose him or her. Coach Vic Schaefer did a fantastic job building Mississippi State’s women’s basketball team into a national powerhouse. I guess we should have expected someone would poach him — but it still smarts.

Thanks Coach Schaefer for a heck of a ride.
