Kansas has decided that Brandon Schneider is the coach needed to pump life into a joyless women’s basketball program that had trouble generating fan interest, particularly among students.
Schneider left the Emporia State women’s program after winning the Div. II national championship in 2010, his 12th season at the school. He comes to Kansas from Stephen F. Austin, where his Ladyjacks won a share of the Southland Conference title in 2014 and won it outright last month in his fifth and final season at the school in Nacogdoches, Texas.
It will be interesting to see how far Schneider has come as a public speaker in the past five years. You can do so by taking a look at the video below of Schneider addressing Emporia State fans in the wake of the school’s first national championship in any sport and then watching his 10 a.m. press conference by clicking on our [All Eyes on KU blog][1].
