Women's Basketball Team

[Double Gator Dad]

Now that they lost last night and the season is over, has Amanda Butler been fired yet?

This is the only program we have that struggles and has for over a decade now and Amanda has had more than enough time to get it going. I know nobody cares about women's basketball but I don't like seeing schools like FSU way ahead of us in anything and the gap here is huge.
Her program is the proverbial "one step forward and two steps back" since we are the only women's program I am aware of that has more discipline problems than the men's team.
Time for a change.

Let the women decide.

 

[MidwestChomp]

I would like to hear what Nav has to say.

Was flipping through the channels and they were playing well towards the end of the 1st half. It's a shame there are two halves to every game, though.

They were top 25 at one point early in the season. Then SEC play started - tough conference for WBB.

Never thought of having a women's sport coach-search "war" with other U's ?

 

[BMF]

Didn't a star player get booted the first few weeks of the season?

I do agree, Butler has had plenty of time.

We have a women's basketball team

I believe they also lost their best player, the greek chick.

Found in early 2015 where we kicked a player off the team. However...............

Here's the player that 'quit on her team' earlier this year after refusing to accept a 1/2-game suspension. The Lady Gators were #23 at the time.

Don't be a mangina.

She only needs a few more years to build relationships on the recruiting trail. I mean, we're only a great QB away.

So you work in the electronics department?

Perfect spot for the new AD to start putting his stamp on the program, if he does nothing here then it doesn't bode well for the future.

10 years is long enough for a coach.

Thanks for the article, Bart. Dang! She was leading scorer, averaging just over 17/game.

I know, and if this was the only incident like this I wouldn't pin any of it on Butler. If memory serves me, she has had about 4-5 of these types of discipline situations that keep setting the team back. After a while you have to look at the coach

I agree completely. This is a program that could be turned around quickly if he aggressively goes after the right coach, whoever that would be......

Yeah nothing going on with the Lady Gators Basketball program. A change is needed...

Well technically in the women's game there are 4 quarters not 2 halves...maybe that's our problem.
