LSU women’s basketball coach Nikki Fargas will return for the 2019-20 season, athletic director Joe Alleva said Friday before tipoff of the LSU men’s NCAA East regional semifinal against Michigan State.

Alleva also said Tennessee has not contacted him to request a chance to speak with Fargas for its vacant head coaching job. Tennessee fired Holly Warlick on Wednesday after seven seasons.

I'm more interested in knowing if the AD will return for 2019-20.

wait is this a freaking joke. Not that I care at all about Womens BB, but if you retain a coach with her resume you clearly are not trying to have an elite program. Her best players transferred away and she had a shitty arse season this year. Clearly he doesnt care about the womens team.

Van Chancellor makes the NCAAT 3 years and misses it his last year, is asked to step aside

Nikki misses tournament twice in the last 4 years but gets to keep her job w/ the extension. Definition of privilege

Honestly, all things considered and all angst aside, she should get next year.

The reactionaries stopped reading, but here is the logic.

Supposedly, she was told to get off her arse and go recruit...and she has a pretty good class coming in, probably her best in 4 years.

So if you tell your coach to go recruit, and she does, why pull the plug now? Next year could be a really good year with Mitchell and Aifuwa down low and some guards who can actually shoot.


That having been said, anything short of about a 5 seed in the NCAAs next year and I'm all for the ax.

Also, who is Alleva kidding?

Does he realistically think Tennessee would even remotely consider contacting Fargas about their basketball vacancy?

Board of Supervisors extended her on same day as FKing a couple of weeks after Lipsey went after him for admissions standards. Great moves!!!!

Smart move, LSU won't have to pay either buyout.

Those of all that are upset with this, realize the alliterative is Alleva would hire another coach.
