oh dear, I wish her a speedy recovery and hope the diagnosis is not a serious one. We women of a certain age, you never know what the outcome will be when you visit the doctor.

Not naming an interim is a good sign, I would think.

Hoping for a speedy recovery.

The team told us that when they were doing autographs before the Clemson game, I was thinking it was something simple and I hope I was right. Get well soon coach.

SU head women’s basketball coach, Felisha Legette-Jack, was not at the scrimmage Saturday and will not be at ACC women’s basketball media day this week, said Olivia Coiro, SU’s assistant athletic director of communications who works with the women’s program.

Sue Ludwig, an Orange assistant and longtime friend of Legette-Jack’s, was the de facto head coach on Saturday.

Coiro said there would be no update on Legette-Jack, including when she might return to her team.

I wish FLJ the best and hope the recovery is swift.

Article by Donna Ditota, her tweet linking to it was posted in the ACC Media Day thread. It's an interesting read and isn't behind their paywall.

How has Syracuse’s basketball team fared without Felisha Legette-Jack and when is she returning?

The university announced earlier this month that Legette-Jack would be away from the team after undergoing a medical procedure.

I’ve been told that our ladies came out of this scrimmage believing they can compete with anyone. Fair was unstoppable. Bueckers did not play.

I can’t help it but worry that she’s been in her darkest hour. Hoping she’s okay.

Is her mother still alive?
Having an illness and a mother with alzheimers would be a darkest hour.
