I can see your point acecard, but I really think it has more to do with fixing the men's first. At least a year or two ago. Men's basketball drives the funding for the entire athletic department. Stop the bleeding there, and increase the revenue so when you do make the change, you can increase the potential talent pool you are looking at.
Like I said above, I would have preferred they had the men's program fully on track first, but things are so bad, they really need to go ahead and pull the plug on Ruffing.

Ladies lose to Ind. St. 68-58, and are now 0-9 in the Valley. The men's, and ladies, combined record in the Valley is now 0-18. Maybe the Aces should trade conferences with USI.

Kathi Bennett isn't currently a head coach anywhere. I believe I would be picking up the phone.

Lady Aces led Valpo by 2 at halftime, lost by 18 or 20 .Wonder if our mens and women's team go winless in conference play if it would be a NCAA D1 record

Kathi Bennett isn't currently a head coach anywhere. I believe I would be picking up the phone. She is 57 yrs old now and an assistant at a small Div III college in Madison Wisconsin. My thoughts she has a nice job to retire from and would not be interested in another D1 head coaching job.

Agree.......but Todd Lickliter is 64 years old and was essentially retired! Retired for 5 months. Already familiar with administration, players, and assistant coaches. Much easier to walk into a situation like that than to start fresh.

For those that care, after a somewhat respectable showing against 18th ranked Missouri State, the Lady Aces were routed by a mid-pack Saluki team 99-60. I guess the positive from the game is they didn't allow SIU to cross the century mark.
