BREAKING NEWS: Pokey to Florida?


Sources close to the Gainesville Athletic Department on the campus of the University of Florida are reporting that it was about to be leaked in the Gainesville media and then, ultimately the national media, that Pokey Chatman, LSU's head coach who resigned today from the highly successful Lady Tigers program, would take the high-profile Florida job. While it was to be announced following the NCAA Tournament, it is believed that Chatman wanted to make sure to be able to announce she was leaving before it was leaked in the media.

Other rumors circulating have Chatman pursuing a non-coaching career altogether, taking a job in the WNBA or building up another hoops program from scratch. It is hard to believe that Chatman would leave LSU, a school she graduated from and was an assistant at for 18 years prior to taking over, for another school in the SEC, thereby basically ruining her reputation amongst Tiger supporters.

Other reasons circulating have to do with reasons of inpropriety or her sexual orientation. Let me be the first to say that GalHoopsAvenue will not entertain these harmful rumors as fact until they are just that, fact.

More to come...
