Buffalo, NY (Sports Network) - The University of Buffalo has named Felisha
Legette-Jack as its women's basketball coach.
Legette-Jack spent the past six years as head coach at Indiana and was fired
in March after a 6-24 season. She guided the Hoosiers to winning records and
postseason appearances in each of her first three seasons with the program.
Prior to joining Indiana, Legette-Jack was the head coach at Hofstra for four
seasons.
"I am excited to be coming back to New York, where I started my head coaching
career," said Legette-Jack in a statement Thursday. "This is an outstanding
opportunity to build a program and coach in a well-respected league such as
the Mid-American Conference."
The 45-year-old Legette-Jack has ties to the upstate New York area. A Syracuse
native, she is still the second-leading scorer in Syracuse University history
and was an assistant at her alma mater from 1993-2000.
