With the season underway and armed with a contract extension, Mount St. Mary's women's basketball coach Antoine White is this week's guest on The Final Score podcast. White chats with host Greg Swatek about his contract extension, which was just announced by the school this week and keeps him as the coach through the 2030-31 season. He talks about coming to the Mount as a coaching intern from the College of Southern Vermont, where he played for former Mount men's coach Dan Engelstad. Coach White moved quickly up the ranks to the top assistant coach and then became head coach prior to the 2021-22 season. He promptly led the Mount women to a Northeast Conference championship and an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. What were his first impressions of the place? Why was now the right time to extend his contract? The Mountaineers opened their season Tuesday night with a 83-49 loss to Richmond, which is ranked No. 24 in the country. What were his impressions of that game? What are the keys for the Mount women this season as they try to win their first Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference championship?

The guys will also talk about the quarterback position. Is Scotty Fox the quarterback of the future for the Mountaineers, or will Rodriguez still take a QB from the transfer portal in the offseason?

WVU football coach Rich Rodriguez has admitted that he and his staff missed on evaluating many of the players brought in from the transfer portal in 2025. He also confessed that WVU did not have the money they needed at the time to bring in a lot of high-end talent. He says they are in a better spot as they prepare to take on the transfer portal in 2026. In this episode, Couz will examine whether or not the Mountaineers should focus on building the defense through the portal versus trying to bring in elite offensive players. He will use stats from the five previous Big 12 Conference champions to make his case.
