He certainly hasn't improved on what Lochner did. Brought in a different type of recruit. Philly is a basketball hot bed of good, hard-nosed girls...but only one from Cardinal O'Hara.

Lochner 72-102, six seasons, one 20+ loss season.
Williams 65-108, five plus seasons, three 20+ loss seasons.

So yes, certainly hasn't improved.

With the exception of ( 2013 recruit ) current center Lisa Mintzer, the last Phila. player on the Lady Explorers was ( 2010 recruit ) Archbishop Ryan grad Jess Koci '14, who was signed by Lochner.   Whether this is due to lack of effort or just lack of success on Coach Williams' part is unknown.

I do not recall reading or hearing one word in the media about La Salle's efforts, if any, to recruit current Archbishop Wood senior star guard Bailey Greenberg ( daughter of La Salle MBB guard Chip Greenberg '86 ; niece of former La Salle womens team star Kelly Greenberg '89 ), who has now committed to Drexel.

Bailey is my cousin. They were at her but there wasn't much interest from her or a concerted effort on their part.

I believe she is on a full or nearly full academic scholarship.

This season, together with Coach Williams' previous five consecutive losing seasons ( including two with 20 losses ), arguably has put the La Salle WBB Program on life support.

The unforgiveable sin : the WBB Program game changer who, inexcusably IMO, was allowed to get away : Bailey Greenberg.

Roughly analogous, IMO, to La Salle  / Ken Loeffler back in 1951 opting to pass on Tom Gola.

Many local girls are among players gaining national basketball recruiting attention

( Among top local players mentioned is La Salle WBB 2018 recruit guard Shayla Sweeney from Pennsauken H.S., NJ )

She's very good, very talented. Could have helped La Salle but will have three former Wood (where she went for two years) teammates at Drexel.

Somehow accidentally won coach of the year last year. But I've never been close to impressed. Should have been out 3 years ago. Can we get a coaching thread for his replacement? Since there's already 8 for G who has been we exponentially more successful.

Sure. Feel free to start one.

I’m surprised the AD’s on this board haven’t made a hire yet.

Offer Geno Auriemma's top assistant half what we paid Williams.

Hearing that they are down to two for the women's gig and that we'll know Monday.

An inside the box and outside the box choice. Hoping they pick the first woman to lead the team.

One woman head coach; one male assistant; both with Philly ties?
