Message: [QUOTE="j66kicker, post: 2173873, member: 4447"] Recruiting never got back to the "EDD" level? [URL='http://www.delawareonline.com/story/sports/college/ud/2017/04/28/tina-martin-retiring-blue-hens-womens-hoops-coach/101017094/']Tina Martin retiring as Delaware women's basketball coach[/URL] [I]"Delaware had been exploring the possibility of cutting ties with Martin, its coach since the 1996-97 season, by gathering possible reasons for dismissal this spring. Martin was under contract through the 2019-20 season and could not be terminated without cause. It subsequently appeared Delaware determined Martin, with a veteran team returning and strong recruiting class arriving, should retain her position. A further reassessment instead contributed to Martin’s exit. Dissatisfaction with Martin’s approach among players, expressed during a pair of recent meetings with athletic director Chrissi Rawak, and apparently shared by some UD decision-makers played a part in the matter, sources have told The News Journal." [/I] Article includes a couple short videos from players who supported her. Also: [I]"Rawak became athletic director last May. In this, her first full school year at Delaware, she has fired her football and volleyball coaches, accepted the resignation of the only women’s soccer coach Delaware ever had and will hire a men’s lacrosse coach with 39th-year coach Bob Shillinglaw’s impending retirement."[/I] [/QUOTE]
