"The Florida A&M University (FAMU) Department of Athletics announced today that women’s basketball coach LeDawn Gibson and assistant coach LaTasha Shipman-Ganus will not return to the program. Assistant coach Kevin Lynum will assume responsibilities as interim head coach for the remainder of the season.
Gibson had served as the Lady Rattlers head coach for 11 seasons. Shipman-Ganus spent six years with FAMU Athletics."

She really had a good core when she landed the job. She recruited well early in her tenure, too. However, she had some bad luck and some women made bad life choices and had to go away. Add to that her failures as an Xs-&-Os coach and she just got worse-and-worse-and-worse each year.
She’s a good person... just not a good collegiate coach, IMHO.
