What about Joe Curl?
HOUSTON, TX -- On March 27 of this year, Dave Maggard was the Athletics Director for the University of Houston. That day, Maggard stated Tom Penders, head coach of the UH men's basketball team, would return for his sixth season.
No similar statement was made regarding Joe Curl - the head coach of the UH women's basketball team.
On April 22, Mr. Maggard announced his retirement as the Cougars' AD.
Nearly four weeks have passed and not a single word has been spoken regarding Coach Curl's future at UH. Joe Curl's contract expires after the 2009 - 2010 season compared to the 2011 - 2012 season for Coach Penders.
I know the economy is tough for everyone; however, if Houston wants to re-sign Coach Curl or extend his contract, why hasn't UH said anything similar to the pat on the back given to Penders?
In his 11 seasons as head coach at UH, Coach Curl has done something that Coach Penders (five seasons at UH) has not -- led his UH team to the NCAA Tournament. Not just once but twice. In case you're wondering, that's two more times than Coach Penders has accomplished leading the men's team.
Now that assistant AD John Robinson will be the Interim AD at UH, is an announcement regarding Coach Curl's future at UH forthcoming?
