The 2OT. What's next for the Lady Raiders?
The thought.
It was little surprise to most when Lady Raider head coach Candi Whitaker was fired last week. Since being hired in 2013 Whitakers win/loss record was 131/168 (.438). A far cry from the Marsha Sharp years when the Lady Raiders won Texas Tech it's first national championship in 1993.
At the time it seemed like a great hire. Whitaker was the associate head coach for an Oklahoma State team that finished 23/11. She was the second winningest coach in UMKC history and was also a former Lady Raider from 2000-02 where she helped Tech to two Sweet Sixteen appearances. She even had the blessing of Marsha Sharp herself, who was active in the hiring process.
