Overview
- Boston College, which announced the hire Friday, named former Bradley coach Kate Popovec-Goss to run the women’s program.
- She lifted Bradley from four wins to 20 in four seasons and reached the WNIT, a national postseason tournament, this year for the program’s second-ever postseason bid.
- Popovec-Goss replaces Joanna Bernabei-McNamee after Boston College finished 5-26 with a 1-17 record in ACC play this season.
- People familiar with the search told reporters the school indicated $500,000 for roster building through revenue sharing and name, image and likeness deals, a modest figure in the ACC.
- She served a 10-game suspension at Bradley in 2023 for reasons the school did not disclose, a past discipline that could draw early scrutiny at her new job.
