Daily News | Tonya Cardoza will not return to Temple after 14 seasons as women’s basketball coach
Head coach Tonya Cardoza watches the players compete during Temples midnight madness at the Liacouras Center, Thursday, November 4, 2021.42 minutes agoArthur Johnson, Temple’s vice president and director of athletics, announced Tuesday that the school started a national search to fill her place. Assistant coach Willnett Crockett has been named the interim head coach.
Cardoza compiled a 251-188 record at Temple and led the Owls to four NCAA tournament appearances. The Owls also played in the WNIT on three occasions. Temple’s last postseason run was in 2016-17 as they finished 24-8 and earned an NCAA bid. Temple had four freshmen and three transfers join their roster this season, which Cardoza felt gave the team some depth on the bench after playing a 12-woman rotation in the 2020-21 season.
With Davis no longer in the program, Temple will have to adjust its high-low offense and find another scoring option. Luckily, freshmen Aniya Gourdine, Tiarra East, Kyra Wood and Caranda Perea have seen valuable minutes this season and could become leaders of the program.
