Florida State head women’s basketball coach Sue Semrau (60) has retired from Florida State. Semrau took a struggling program and (eventually) transformed it into a successful one that nearly reached elite status nationally.
In April of 1996 Chris Gobrecht took over as the head coach at Florida State replacing Marynell Meadors after four straight losing seasons. The last three years of Meadors’ tenure were particularly painful as the Seminoles stumbled to a combined 22-63 record. Former Athletic Director Dave Hart felt that it was time to move the program in a different direction.
Gobrecht was hired after 11 seasons as the head coach at Washington.
