WOMEN'S BASKETBALL | Q&A: Head coach Chris Gobrecht
Women’s basketball head coach Chris Gobrecht has a reputation for turning teams around, building storied programs in the process. Gobrecht has coached at powerhouses like the University of Washington, Florida State University and the University of Southern California before taking over the Yale team in the 2005-’06 season.
Under Gobrecht, the Bulldogs have steadily improved in the Ivy League — until injuries depleted the Elis’ roster this year. Over the course of her 28-year coaching career, she has amassed 460 wins, which puts her 28th amongst active Division I NCAA women’s...
women's basketball coaches are some of the most insufferable people on the planet...
"I could have built a juggernaut" Modest too!
Just more of the same old same old from Yale coaches that are never held accountable for their teams' performances. Thank God the hockey team brought home a title this year
Simply one of the worst hires in Yale history.
Thanks Colleen Lim! You gave us a PAC-10 reject.
Gobrecht is a horrible fit for Yale.
I hardly think that the struggles this season have been because of Gobrecht. This was a team that knocked off NC State and came very close to beating Kentucky earlier in the season, when the majority of the team was healthy (and that was even without Lindsey Williams, who would've been a scoring small forward with size).
Her style and pace demands a lot of discipline, but it's something that's going to come slowly, but this team won more games than last year's team and was had a mental toughness and swagger that allowed them to take down big name schools.
As for juggernauts and Washington state, she definitely could've stayed there for life. She had top recruiting classes in the nation 2 times in a row towards the end of her tenure there and she definitely would've built a juggernaut.
She has been run out of every school she has ever been at.
Gobrecht will wear out her welcome, probably around the time her daughter graduates.
How convenient.
