This is pretty wild

This is crazy! After the Utah State women lost tonight, coach Kayla Ard was asked how they rebuild next season - and she says she just got fired. Never seen anything like this.

"I'm assuming that's going to be the last question?"

What was the hurry to fire her as soon as they walked off the floor? There was no good reason for that.

Out of respect for your coach that you hired and have worked with for X amount of years.

Nonsense. Completely unprofessional to fire someone like that.

Didn't even wait to fire her on the tarmac Lane Kiffin style.

At least with Kiffin there was a season still going on so you can understand wanting to let the interim coach know.

Utah State’s season is over. At least have the conversation the next day if your mind is already made up.

We were perfectly happy when Alleva was ready to do that to Miles.

She was more respectful to her admins than I would be. Why go coach for a place that does that to you when they fire you? Absolute trash

Utah State won a combined nine games over the past two seasons, finishing 5-25 overall and 2-16 in the Mountain West in 2023-24.


Her record there was 24-90. She probably knew weeks ago

coach Kayla Ard 


She was in a Gatorade commercial when she was in college. Had a very good handle. She was from south LA and Cajun thug as shite, but lived and loved basketball, and played at Juco and DII in Arkansas.
