Farewell, Morgan Burke: What He Did Well
I figure we have bashed Morgan Burke enough here. We can get into the bad part of his legacy later, but let's talk about the good times. Burke has been here since 1993 and has led Purdue through several of them. Let's look at the highlights:
1994 Women's Final Four
Right off the bat Burke's tenure got off to a good start. The women's team led by Lin Dunn in 1994 earned its first ever berth in the Final Four by rolling through the West Region as a no. 1 seed. Seriously. Look at the scores:
No. 16 Radford 103-56
No. 8 Washington 86-59
No. 13 Texas A&M 82-56
No. 2 Stanford 82-65
