program. He has won 185 games since taking over the program in 2003. 


Oates led the Lady Jackets to a school record 29 wins in the 2007-2008 season and has five seasons of 20 or more victories. The Lady Jackets are coming off its first losing season in 9 years and are looking to return back to the State Final Four for the 4th time under Oates leadership.

us." READ MORE CLICK BELOW
