Jim Crowley takes over a PC women's basketball program that was 1-17 in conference play last season.
Talk about a deal that left both teams delighted.
St. Francis College is thrilled to have Susan Robinson Fruchtl as its director of athletics. Providence College is thrilled that she opted out of the final season of her five-year contract as the Friars’ coach of women’s basketball to take the A.D. job at St. Francis.
Coaching women’s basketball not only pays well – Robinson Fruchtl was getting more than $350,000 a year at PC – but it also has job security that often is lacking in the men’s game.
