Not a surprise. During her first years Bobbie Kelsey had a Kurt Rambis like devotion to the triangle and complained often about her player's inability to run it. She eventually accepted that the triangle was dead and that "coaching was hard". There's, supposedly, a good class coming in.


Bobbie Kelsey will not be retained as University of Wisconsin women’s basketball coach, athletic director Barry Alvarez announced Friday.

Kelsey compiled a 47-100 (.320) record in her five seasons at UW, including a 19-65 (.226) Big Ten Conference mark. UW terminated her contract Friday and began a national search for a replacement, led by senior women’s administrator Terry Gawlik and Alvarez.

"It's my job and the sports administrator's job to see the programs progress and that they're being run properly and that things are being done the right way," Alvarez said in a statement on UWBadgers.com. "Bobbie has a lot of good qualities. Her assistants have a lot of good qualities. They put a lot of hard work in.

"But in the end you have to have some results, and we just didn't have the results and the progress that we needed. We felt at that point we needed a change and shake things up and try and get the program back on track."
