Lob & Kritik » at FIU, which she once led to 22 consecutive win

Miami, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - Longtime FIU womens basketball coach Cindy Russo is stepping down after a 36-year career to focus on her health, the school announced Thursday. For the first time in my life, I am putting myself first, Russo said in a statement that cited the stress of a long basketball season and the recent death of her mother as factors in her resignation. Russo ranks 15th all-time among womens Division I coaches in wins with a 707-391 career record, including a 667-371 mark at FIU, which she once led to 22 consecutive winning seasons from 1981-2003. Associate head coach Inge Nissen will likely take over as head coach. My health has been compromised for a long time now, Russo said. It has been difficult to get up and move around. (The) basketball season is a long, stressful season that can suck you in with the demanding schedule. I just didnt feel like I had the physical and mental capacity to keep going. My mothers death exasperated everything, and it was a long ordeal with her. I was by her side for a long time, and now its time to take care of myself. I just cant push myself like this anymore. The team will be fine. They play good basketball and they play hard, but we just cant finish. Someone just needs to step up and be a leader. I trust that Inge Nissen will do a great job and handle everything that comes along. FIU made six appearances in the NCAA Tournament under Russo and won eight regular season conference titles. The Golden Panthers are 3-13 this season, including 0-5 in Conference USA.

Hamilton signed offensive linemen Mike Filer, Joel Reinders, Landon Rice and Carson Rockhill.Jamie Carragher believes Arsenal need to win all of their remaining games to have any chance of winning the Premier League. The Gunners 4-0 thumping of Watford on Saturday lifted them to eight points behind leaders Leicester with seven games left to play.And Carragher says anything less than a 100 per cent finish to the season will not be enough for Arsene Wengers side. I think Arsenal have to win every single game if theyve got any chance, Carragher said on Saturday Night Football. Leicester would still have to lose three games, they could if the nerves kick in and there are tough games at the end of the season. But can Arsenal win every game? Leicester are currently four points clear at the top of the Premier League Fellow Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp added: Its uncharted territory not just for Leicester but Tottenham. Are Arsenal back in the equation now? Youd have to say yes.Redknapp also bbelieves that if Leicester can beat Southampton at the King Power Stadium on Super Sunday, the title will be there for the taking after Tottenham slipped up against Liverpool.ddddddddddddIf Leicester win you have to think they have to win the title, its theirs to lose, he said. But you cant rule Tottenham or Arsenal out.

[People will] just expect Leicest
