TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – University of Alabama Director of Athletics Bill Battle announced on Monday that Crimson Tide women’s basketball head coach Wendell Hudson has been reassigned to an administrative position within the Department of Athletics and will not return as head coach of the women’s basketball team for the 2013-14 season.

“Today’s decision is a mutual one between Wendell and me,” Battle said. “We have had several discussions over the last few weeks that led to this decision. Wendell has been an excellent ambassador for Alabama Athletics for many years and I am pleased that he will continue to serve in that manner for us while also contributing to our ongoing mission in a variety of other ways as well.”

Hudson just completed his fifth season as head coach after being hired on March 15, 2008. He took over the program following a five-year stint as associate athletics director for alumni relations at Alabama

Chalk this up as a move by new AD, Bill Battle, I approve of—immensely.

Was Hudson a good "stop-gap" measure after the Stephany Smith and later Rick Moody years?

Personally, I had higher expectations.

Now, for something that will surely depress some of you.

As much as I hate to say it, I fear Marie will be involved in the hiring process.

That was a decision that needed to be made. Hopefully BB is committed to making our ladies hoops program as competitive as it was in Moody's time.
