With baseball coach Mike Hutcheon resigning at the end of the current season, Air Force will head into the 2010-11 academic year with new coaches for three long suffering programs – baseball, women’s volleyball and women’s basketball.
Here’s a look at the outgoing coaches and their records:
Coach Sport Seasons Rec. (Conf. Rec) Consec MWC Ls
Penny Lucas-White W. Volleyball 14 97-302 (15-193) 70
Ardie McInelly W. Basketball 9 57-201 (12-124) 37
Mike Hutcheon Baseball 7 72-271 (13-143) 7
TOTALS: 30 226-774 (40-460) 114
I don’t think their dismissal and the arrival of General Gould is a coincidence.
Absolutley! All three knew that they were on thin ice the last three seasons except for Hutcheon. I don’t think he had a clue that he was doing anything wrong. It didn’t help that the senior staff wouldn’ t tell him. They had plans to keep him until the end of his contract. I think all of the press the last couple of years got to him plus his team quits on him every year or he kicks them out. Now id Gould would do something about the AD! Obviously he is not the person for the job.
