No worries. I mention North because she is the biggest name in the game and it would make a huge splash and could reenergize the program.
If the team had made it to the Final Four then it could've been a different story.
I am going to doubt this came out of the blue for Wildhack. I am sure it has been known for a while, and probably he was involved in pointing towards the door, and I bet they have already been talking to prospective candidates.
I wish I could feel this way but she has now set the program back for atleast 2-3 years barring a miracle. I think she is immensely talented I defended her countless times on here and I was wrong. I don’t see how anyone can argue she is anything but incredibly selfish she came to SU claiming she was going to bring more discipline to this team. Instead she chose to have an affair with one of her coaches you can’t tell me she was putting her team first on any level. Meanwhile this took place at the final four. She had a year to prove herself and either willingly chose to leave the school she claimed to love or failed to show the administration she had changed enough to get another shot. Either way no one is bigger then the program and it is time to move forward
kellys heroes.. every time it sucks me in
you must be an insider, Im just a friend. I'm sorry for your loss.
It would bring back his daughter and her friend
I have followed the program since it started but no personal involvement. Like I said I was a huge fan of hers as a player and coach unfortunately she chose poorly and instead of pushing the program over the hump to a championship she has set it back to probably a pre Gary Gait level and I can’t help but feel like she betrayed the people who helped get her to this level of coaching
hard to argue with this. And I say this as someone who advocated for her to get the job. It’s disappointing all around. But Im glad JW ensured this ended in a somewhat amicable way given it could have been way worse.
I'm still just a friend who chooses not to judge choices that many people make throughout their lifetimes. I wish you nothing but the best in yours.
I think she was treated extremely well. And deservedly so, given her history as a great player and the credible job she did. This outcome is probably the best that could be imagined for all concerned. That being said, it's time to get that coach who can finally move this already great program to the very highest level.
This is the name I was going to throw out there. What she has done at Yale is incredible. From skaneateles and all her immediate family is still in the area. She played for UNC and Team USA.Another name tossed out on fanlax
Erica Bamford - Joel E. Smilow '54 Head Coach of Women's Lacrosse - Women's Lacrosse Coaches - Yale University
Former US National Team member Erica Bamford (née LaGrow), the unanimous 2024 Ivy League Coach of the Year, has led the Yale women's lacrosse team to unprecedentedyalebulldogs.com
Shes a CBA grad but a poster pointed out her husband is the AD at UMass so that distance might not work out.
Bad judgment? Sure. If it was consensual, human.
Makes perfect sense for a school like Penn State?
I think the only person she betrayed was her husband.
She had a relationship with a subordinate. She did more than betray her husband. It’s an incredibly bad example to set for the young women she was serving as a role model for and coaching.
It doesn’t seem like it involved her leveraging her authority to obtain favors.
Name?
