Lincoln may have the MIAA Coach of the Year. Went something like 4-23 last season. Great turnaround- wouldn’t it be something if they got into the dance?

I would also point out to the NSIC that attendance trends can also simply be reflective of quality of team. I'm a Dragons fan, and there was a period from 2017-18 to part of 2019-20 where the women's games seemed to have higher attendance simply because our women's team was on a roll those years, while the men struggled. That was before any doubleheader flipping, too. But no one listens to me, I'm just t̶h̶e̶ p̶r̶e̶s̶i̶d̶e̶n̶t̶ o̶f̶ t̶h̶e̶ N̶C̶A̶A̶ some guy.

I get that most of us primarily watch the men's games. I'm right there with you. But that doesn't make the worth of the women's teams and their parents/fans less valid.
I was saying it was funny but kind of ridiculous to not just make a way for each team to get on and off the court before/after games. I already said i enjoy watching both so not sure what you are trying to get at here.

I had heard that another smaller part of the desire for doubleheader flipping was to be more equitable to parents/fans of the women's teams. So that they weren't always the ones that had to leave work early on Fridays to make a 5:30 start compared to 7:30.
So while that part makes sense to me, the much larger goal of beefing attendance for women's games is actually counterproductive (at least in some gyms). At least with men's games going 2nd, you would get part of that crowd catching the 2nd half of the women's games. Maybe from there you could cultivate a following for that team if they're having a successful season. Instead, you're having that crowd now just leave once the men's game is done. That's a bummer.
I feel like the reported attendance for the women's games will be higher. I don't knownhow they do attendance counting when games are back to back but I'd assume the 2nd game includes attendance from the first game through probably halftime of the 2nd game, regardless who goes first. IF that is the case the women's attendance on paper would look better but just from being there in person, it just looked depressing, especially when they had to wait to take the court. At the very lease have someone folks blocking it off so teams can get on and off the court.

That kind of delay is disheartening and the opposite of what they are wanting to achieve. Maybe the prizes will make a difference and become a thing for other schools too. Personally, I wouldn't mind the men playing at 1:00 instead of 3:30 on the weekend, and getting out of there. I still I hope we don't ever make that change.

Not sure, tonight is the first time they've tried this as far as I know. I saw it billed as "4 for 40" so my guess is there will be prizes given away at some point in each quarter. To be perfectly honest, I more than likely won't be around to find out. As NSU4LIFE mentioned at the last home game, with a pretty good crowd, I think there was a little delay for the women's teams to get onto the court because they had to wait for so many people to exit the arena.
