Goodbye Tim and Kayla! What's going on with this team? I wonder how schools like Marquette can make a decision on a coach so quickly. Move on and make a hire in 10 days or less. We wonder why the NCAA takes so long to make a decision and then we go and hire a guy to be our AD with a NCAA background. I know he must be at the national Championships waiting to hire the runner up. Is there a program on campus which is better since Vowels has made a replacement? I can't think of one. What besides being director of Athletics does he think is his job description? COME ON ROBERT GET ER DONE!! I'm actually pulling for you to make a decision.

I heard that the student manager for Titans WBB has also entered the transfer portal.

That is...surprising. In the back of my mind I might have had the thoughts "what if they keep Gilbert?" but I never expected it to happen.

This entire episode was weird. The allegations. The claim by one parent that her name was listed on the complaint letter without her consent. The fact that the players were not so traumatized that they could not play at all - just not for Gilbert or her assistants other than Webb. The fact that the department is implementing additional measures suggests strongly that the major issue was likely the lack of any meaningful supervision by the designated program supervisor. Given all of the transfers out, Gilbert will get to start again with a roster not filled with Scott's recruits. I hope that Gilbert takes this second chance and is successful with it.

I'm not one of those that bashes Vowels at any and every change of wind at 6/Livernois but... this is indeed an odd turn of events and doesn't look good for the university. Let's just say UDM did everything right and proper, and even the coach did everything right and proper, its still a ton of weirdness and from the outside a ton of negative PR around the program. Obviously a major part of the AD job is to keep all programs on the straight and narrow and moving forward in the right direction in all manners. We don't have winning records in nearly any sport we field, and to have a major news story around this team (After the PR of the Bacari ending) is not great to say the least.

I am happy to see a decision has finally been made. At least this is one team that will not miss the entire early signing period which started yesterday. I hope Gilbert and her assistants have been busy recruiting and not out looking for jobs. I was unaware that the team would not play for any of Gilberts assistants. If this is true then the team should have been immediately been given their releases by Vowels and this decision should have been made months ago when Vowels chose to end the Women's season. I am constantly bashing Vowels because I do have the opinion that he is extremely inept and should never have been hired as an AD. So far every move he has made enforces that opinion. I feel the Davis hire was good but took way to long. I am not sure this actually is a second chance for Gilbert but rather the result of a power play gone wrong. I can not believe that I am the only one who sees this as someone trying to spin a Webb here. Good luck Coach Gilbert and I wish you well in your recruiting and signings. I hope you find and sign players who are as competitive as you are and want to achieve as much as you do.

As a practical matter, how can Webb remain on the staff? His daughter has transferred out and his wife signed a letter asking that the HC be fired. I presume he will soon announce his resignation. Really, it should come today, which is already too late.

We just finished an uncomfortable experience in our basketball program with fathers being assist. coaches,( Chatman and JJ ) and in we go again. I have wondered if BA's flare up with Jones was fanned internally. Izzo does have an opening but I am pretty sure he will not hire Bates as an assistant.

FGCU is a perennial top 25-40 women's team with a full coaching staff right now. They don't need to hire Webb to recruit players as good as her. The moral of this story is that if you try to kill the coach, you better have collected the receipts before you act. Otherwise, your effort will look like a copy and paste job and then devolve into a "she said-she said" controversy with no one outside the antagonists able to offer any evidence one way or the other. And I agree with Commissioner, why is Asst. Coach Webb still on staff? Pay him through June 30 but get him off the website. I'm still angriest at the Associate AD who was supposed to have been supervising this team and should have been in position to deal with this issue early on before it had metastasized into the negative PR. That was her duty. The complainers went directly to Vowels instead of the program supervisor. That does not speak well about that Associate AD.
