Title: New Alabama Women's Basketball Coach Hired Post by: Marshal Dillon on May 11, 2013, 10:00:35 PM Kristy Curry, Texas Tech coach new Tide women's BB coach. I saw it on Twitter but I don't know how to put it here.
Quote Curry guided the Lady Raiders to a 21-11 mark this past season which ended in a first-round loss to South Florida in the NCAA tournament. She was 130-98 in her seven years at Texas Tech.] http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/colleges/texas-tech-coach-kristy-curry-is-headed-to-alabama-to-take-over-womens-basketball-program/2013/05/11/57e13980-baaa-11e2-b568-6917f6ac6d9d_story.html Title: Re: New Alabama Women's Basketball Coach Hired Post by: pmull on May 12, 2013, 07:15:08 AM A good hire IMO. Not a home run but good. This is probably the best we could hope for considering the state of the program.
Quote "I am very excited to announce that Kristy Curry will be the next women's basketball coach at the University of Alabama," UA athletics director Bill Battle said in a university statement. "When we began our search for a head coach, we sought a veteran head coach that had a proven record as a consistent winner. Coach Curry has produced an impressive record at Purdue and Texas Tech. We are thrilled that she has chosen to lead our program, and we are looking forward to welcoming Kristy, her husband Kelly, and their children, Kelsey and Kendall, to Tuscaloosa." http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2013/05/texas_techs_kristy_curry_hired.html Title: Re: New Alabama Women's Basketball Coach Hired Post by: 2Stater on May 12, 2013, 08:33:31 AM Mr. Battle is not wasting any time.

She can lay a good foundation for the future. :popcorn2: |
