The Davidson women's basketball coach, Annette Watts, has stepped down after 9 seasons at the helm. Watts is the all-time wins leader in women's basketball at Davidson College. The Lady Cats finished 6th in the Southern Conference last season, and never won a conference title during her reign.
This marks a change in typical business in Davidson athletics. Many rumors are circulating that Watts was "forced" to resign. Very rarely do Wildcats coaches get fired simply for not winning enough games. The success of the men's basketball team in recent seasons probably had a significant effect on the resignation.
The Davidson Athletic Department now has a serious opportunity to bring in a high-profile women's basketball coach. The men's and women's basketball programs are some of the few at Davidson College with the max amount of athletic scholarships. There is proof that men's basketball can win with the right coach at Davidson, now it's time to bring in the right coach for the Lady Cats to win.
