I was just reading about this and was wondering why Heard would leave her alma mater for this position, but it seems that she spent time at Cincy as an assistant and one could guess she's being offered a better salary and a chance to compete in a much more visible league. Now will she get the support beyond day one?

BTW, her associate head coach at WKU, Greg Collins, was just promoted to the head slot at WKU.

Having just read this article, it looks like Ms. Heard decided to get out of Dodge (Western Kentucky), in part because of a budget cut that directly affected the basketball program: the director of operations position was cut, which is a huge part of a functioning D1 program.   Plus, she just doubled her salary from $200, to $400k at Cincy. Good luck to both, for differing reasons.
