Cincinnati, OH (My Sportsbook) - J. Kelley Hall, who had served as the head coach of Cincinnati's women's basketball team for the last two seasons, will not return next year, the school revealed on Friday. Hall put together a 26-33 mark overall at the helm. Cincinnati finished 2008-09 at 14-17 but 3-13 in the Big East. The Bearcats have gone just 7-26 in the conference during Hall's tenure. "This was a difficult decision as coach Hall has a track record of coaching winning basketball," said director of athletics Mike Thomas. "After reviewing the last two seasons we are not moving forward as a program and we have not been competitive within the Big East. I felt that a change was necessary." Hall had previously been head coach at the University of Louisiana-Lafayette for five years. Prior to that, he spent time as an assistant with Louisville and Auburn, Cal-State Fullerton, Mississippi State, Alabama, and Troy. His overall coaching mark stands at 316-151. |
