Chancellor Dugan Out as FAU Women's Basketball Coach
Per FAU release today…
Florida Atlantic University Interim Director of Athletics Melissa Dawson has announced that FAU has started a national search for its head women’s basketball coach.
FAU’s current assistant coaches Yolanda Cole and Cristal Randolph remain under contract as members of the coaching staff.
FAU had a 17-13 record during the 2011-12 season and placed second in the Sun Belt Conference’s East Division with a 11-5 league record, as well as represented the conference in the Women’s National Invitational Tournament.
Kind of a shame considering the progress made this year - huge.
Normally programs replace coaches after a poor year. If that was the case, should have happened after last year. But it is what it is.
Best wishes to Dugan in her journey down a new road.

Best of luck to her, as I'm sure she'll find the right fit somewhere else and flourish. And hopefully FAU can find a good replacement for her.

With the right coach there is no reason we shouldn't have a very competitive basketball team.
That is the most you will ever see me say about Womens basketball.
Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

From the sound of it, she was lucky to even be offered a 1-year contract. Best of luck to her, as I'm sure she'll find the right fit somewhere else and flourish.
Considering she turned down a DI job to coach at DII Bellarmine University, would say so:
“It is a great honor and privilege to accept the head coaching position at Bellarmine,” Dugan said in an official statement.
“I promise Knights Nation that you will get nothing but my very best, and my goal is to bring a national championship to Bellarmine.”

However, this could be much more of a pressure environment…the guy she is taking over for had about a .500 average for the last three seasons collectively, and was 249-156 overall in 14 seasons.
Smaller school, but more rich in tradition.
