Adrian Autry took the reigns as Syracuse Orange men’s basketball coach on March 8. His fellow Syracuse University alumna Felisha Legette-Jack was in a similar situation a little over a year ago.
Legette-Jack, an experienced coach who played for the Syracuse women’s basketball team in the mid-to-late 1980s, took the job as the new coach for the women’s program in March 2022. Coming off a disastrous season the year prior, Legette-Jack looked to rebuild the team’s brand, growth, and success in hopes of a brighter future for the program.
That sounds a lot like the situation Autry finds himself in right now with the men’s team, right?
