Randolph College Searching for New Coach

Lynchburg, VA - Randolph College (web) is in the market for a new women's basketball coach.

12-year head coach Melissa Wiggins resigned her position after this season.

The school posted the job several weeks ago. Randolph has struggled in the tough ODAC, this year's Wildcats finished 3-and-21 overall. Randolph's mark over the past five seasons 27-and-93.

seems like a pretty good job. They obviously don't care how well you do.

[LUnpretty11]

BJ, sounds like this could be a good job for you to put your name out there for.

[Cider Jim]

I was wondering if a certain local commercial realtor might be interested in the job, so that he could continue to coach his daughter in college.

[Sly Fox]

My thoughts exactly, CJ.

[Cider Jim]

Maybe he could at least be hired at the interim coach (I hear that he's got experience in that area); and the word on the streets is that she has D3 talent level for college basketball.

[Schfourteenteen]

I thought she was better than DIII.

[ToTheLeft]

Yeah, she'd do really, really well in DIII. Think more SoCon than ODAC...

this job was posted on the ncaa website three weeks ago. apparently the competition for the job is pretty stiff, assistant coaches from high quality D3 programs and lower level D1 programs are applying for the job. good place to go for first head job. expectations are low (but they are expecting the program to become competitive like some of their men's teams), and I would assume the person hired would be given ample time to turn around the program. if not given time then no one will get them turned around - the women's teams over there don't have the fortune of being able to start from scratch and .have to overcome decades of losing

the new AD they brought in two years ago has placed an emphasis on getting the teams competitive and this move was the least bit surprising. rumor was the coach was on the hot seat all year, unfortunately for her numerous things happened outside of her control and she had to suffer the consequences. i wouldn't be surprised to see other established coaches over there leaving in the next couple years if they don't get their teams turned around.

Randolph doesn't joke around with their new hires these days under AD Tina Hill.

Is she good?

Yeh i know, I glanced over the bio ready for something to stand out and left it unsatisfied and looking for more.

That's what she said.

[Hold My Own]

I was hoping someone would catch it but it not be to obvious

So she must've went to Radford.

[Hold My Own]

Wow, the last one I typed up knowing what I was saying...didnt see that one coming. Nice.

She's been a winner everywhere she's been. What else do you want?

[Hold My Own]

You made it sound like they sneaked Bobby Knight in there to coach or something

[LUconn]

HMO, you should know that Tina Hill doesn't **** around. She's taking names.
