Her win/loss ratio was not good.

186-171 overall and 62-122 in the Big 12.

It worries me when the big 12 lets a coach go, you never know who will be brought in, could be a coach who will have Kansas as a top 3 team in a few years.. I guess that would be good for the big 12 as a whole tho...

If I were the AD I would place a call to John Ontjes and see if he has dinner plans.

That does seem to be the way those things work, doesn't it.

Bonnie coached her team to a 4-1 record after they lost their first five games. KU is very young, and perhaps they saw freshman burnout after 10 games, but almost all their results down the stretch were close, even though they lost.

KU is too used to the success of their men's teams, and in my opinion abandoning Henrickson at this point in her career was a wrong call.

One could make the point they are young this year. But, they weren't young every year she was developing a losing record in conference play.

11 years in and she has 7 postseason appearances, with only 2 NCAA appearances. I don't know how long a school is supposed to support an underperforming coach. She would have been done 3-4 years ago, but they made the back-to-back Sweet 16 runs. Before and after that, they didn't have much going for them.
