After five years, Coach Dennis Woff was relieved of duties at Virginia Tech. The Hokies went 18-14 overall, but just 5-11 in the ACC and lost in the first round of the WNIT to Ohio U.
The beat reporter in Roanoke speculated on possible replacements:
"It would not be a shock if Babcock turns to James Madison women's basketball coach Kenny Brooks to replace Wolff. JMU was the only state team in the NCAA women's basketball tournament this year -- JMU's third straight NCAA appearance.
Other names to look out for include George Washington coach Jonathan Tsipis, a former assistant to Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw, and Princeton coach Courtney Banghart, who guided the Tigers this year to the first NCAA at-large bid in Ivy League history."
Tsipsis and Banghart seem to be at the top of the "most available pool" -- I saw their names in two reports for the Wisconsin position, as well as that of Katie Abrahamson-Henderson, the Albany Coach who I read is from Iowa.
Here are links to the Va. Tech announcement and the Roanoke blog that I pulled the coach search information from.
