women's basketball players to ask head
coach Terry Kelly to resign, several members

resign," sophomore forward Colleen Frost

The team voted 9-2, with one abstention,
to ask Kelly to step down, she said.
KELLY SUBMITTED his resignation to
the athletic department March 8 4,to pursue
other outside interests." He resigned after
the Metropolitan Collegiate Athletic Conference
tournament in Cincinnati, Ohio.
USC athletic director Bob Marcum said he
was surprised with Kelly's decision and was
unaware of any friction between the coach
and his squad.
Kelly declined comment.

PLAYERS SAID Kelly told them he
would resign if they lost respect for him during
the season. Junior forward Marsi
McAlister said the team met with him prior
to the Francis Marion College game Feb. 20,
in which the Lady Patriots upset USC 73-72.
"Before Francis Marion, he asked if (the
team) wanted him back or not, and a majority
of the players did not want him back," she
said.
Frost said, "He left the door wide open
when he told us he'd resign if we lost respect
for him.
"No one was there to lead us or motivate
us toward the end of the season. He lacked
team motivation." l
AFTER OPENING the season ranTed
20th by The Associated Press' preseason
poll, USC finished 18-12 for fourth place in
the Metro.
Frost said the winning record was because
of the team's talent, not Kelly's coaching

"It was so frustrating this season because
we had so much talent," she said. "But

PLAYERS POINT to discipline ? or lack re
of it ? as Kelly's greatest problem and what yc
ultimately led to his resignation.
Sophomore center Sharon Gilmore said,
"I think the problems started at the beginn- bi
ing of the year, and it had a lot to do with b<
discipline. Discipline is a very important
factor on every team. We got away with a lot ti
of things antl it began to grow." A
Some team members said Kelly originally ir
established rules for the squad, but failed to
enforce them or punish violaters. ti
"The saying 4 you give an inch and they'll
t^ke a mile' comes to mind everytime I think i
about it," McAlister said. k
"AT THE beginning of the year, we were w
all together, and I thought this could be the
year. Then, about a fourth of the way
through the season, coach Kelly lost control.
