Was it the correct move to relieve Tracey Dorow of her duties as Head Coach of the Valpo Women's Basketball Team?

Yes
No

Honestly what the coach did to her this year is sad. After losing Blood early we had zero subs for under the basket except her. Despite losing 8 games by more than 20 plus 3 games by 19 and winning 2 games by over 20 and despite having Ellenson and Stoller foul out 27 times she was played 8 minutes in 3 games. She is a walk-on and obviously not very good but still...

I don't often watch women's basketball so I'm going from a position of ignorance here.  But isn't there a cataclysmic drop off in talent in women's b-ball going from scholarship player to walk-on?

Our coach isn't hired to be fair, she's hired to win games.

I have no argument with that. But when we are losing by 20-40 points giving the end of the bench a couple of minutes is not going to derail our improvement.

I am sure that she is a nice person, but she was very very slow.  She wasn't going to contribute any significant minutes in her Valpo career, so she is making the right choice.  She would do better in D3.

True, but with three starters on the bench with injuries.  This year could be a lot of fun!
