Southern Cal fires women's basketball coach

March 17, 2004
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Chris Gobrecht was fired as Southern California's
women's basketball coach Wednesday.

Gobrecht was 93-108 in seven seasons at the school and never got the Trojans
to the NCAA tournament. USC was 15-13 this season.

``This was a very difficult decision because Chris meant a lot to the Trojan
family, but we felt it was time for our women's basketball program to go in
a different direction,'' athletic director Mike Garrett said.

Gobrecht, a former USC player, is 425-311 in 25 years as a Division I head
coach. She also coached at Cal State-Fullerton, Washington and Florida State
before coming to USC in 1997.

Well, here's hoping she catches on somewhere else
where she can keep visiting PAC-10 schools. It is
**such** fun for us fans to yell "SIT DOWN, CHRIS!"
whenever she's stamping up and down the sidelines
hectoring the refs. It really got the crowd into
the game when the Women of Troy came to call.

Plus, she's the only female coach I know who can be
counted on to get 2 or 3 "T"s a season for mouthing
off to officials. And there's her easy, informal ways
with the press, as when she was quoted as saying of
the NCAA selection committee, "They don't know squat."

Bring excitement to your program! Hire Chris!
