Like the men's game the stakes are high with women's basketball esp at the high major level
Can start this with Providence firing Jim Crowley yesterday after 7 mediocre years - not unexpected

Mary Burke spent 32 years as head coach at Bryant. Her effectiveness seemed to wane in later years of her tenure similar to BG. Mary starred at PC, graduating in 1987. I wonder if she is any relation to Greg Burke the former HC SID who rose to the challenge/grabbed the opportunity of Gordie Lockbaum's emergence as a two way throwback FB player and sold it as a feel good story to America?
For two year's Paul Simon's question "Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio?" was answered: "He's resurfaced as Gordie Lockbaum at Holy Cross."
Now back to regularly scheduled WBB programming.🙂

Tough place to attract anyone significant - Crowley is the best they could have hoped for after a very mediocre run at PC

They "Mutually Agree To Part Ways." There is a new AD at PC so this will be an interesting hire.

How much more does PC pay? I have no clue....I think there are better options out there than MM. One is in NYC and the other in Burlington.

Can't think of a wbb coach who's had a ton of success there. I am pretty sure Crowley was the one who backchanneled to St Bonnies when they fired their head coach 2/3 thru the season.

Bob Foley is probably the best in the modern era with a Sweet 16 appearance and a 206-127 career record in the 1980's

For sure. I am not sure in this era they could move the needle much in the BE. Be great if they were better for our region. Not sure what kind of $ PC admins would want to spend. It would have to be a boatload to get anyone good. I think coaches recognize it as a bad job. Maybe they'll get lucky.

Just interesting that WBB has struggled across campus.

Well the Big East got five out of 11 teams into the NCAA Tournament so it is a decent conference besides just UConn.

Fordham is looking for a HC after not offering the job to the interim who coached this season after Stephanie Gaitley was released last summer In the job posting on the school site it shows under Salary: Min $300,000 / Max $425,000
Interesting what an A-10 job pays

I'd be curios as to what MM's extension brought her base too.
