Just within the last few minutes, I saw on my local Lubbock news broadcast that Texas Tech will be having a change in head coach. Teresa Wilson, who spent the last four years coaching the Red Raiders, will be heading to the University of Arizona to become pitching coach. Before coming to Texas Tech, Wilson enjoyed considerable success as the head coach at the University of Washington, taking the Huskies to six Women's College World Series appearances before some problems occurred in that program. Back here at Texas Tech, assistant coach Amy (Hanson) Suiter has been named interim coach. Here are some news articles on all the shifting:

Other players around the country may find it attractive to join Bahl in Lincoln but even if
