The Syracuse Orange made the move many expected in choosing Felicia Legette-Jack to take over the women’s basketball program. The Syracuse native and Orange legend will have her work cut out in rebuilding the program after the departure of Quentin Hillsman and 18 roster or committed players in the last year.
Legette-Jack just led Buffalo to their fourth NCAA appearance in her ten years as Head Coach. She was a head coach previously at Hofstra and Buffalo and now returns to the school where she starred as a player and served as an assistant. In her playing career for the Orange, Legette-Jack scored over 1500 points and grabbed over 900 rebounds.
