Jose Fernandez

Interim head coach Michele Woods-Baxter says her 17 years of winning on Jose Fernandez's staff prepared her for the moment he decided to move on two weeks ago. USF opens the season Monday against FIU.

The 53-year-old Fernandez spent the past 25 seasons leading the women’s team at the University of South Florida.

Fernandez, who spent 25 years leading the Bulls and made 10 NCAA Tournament appearances, reportedly will be named head coach of the Dallas Wings. Michele Woods-Baxter will take over in the interim.

South Florida (27-7) entered looking for its first berth in the Sweet 16, but after a feisty start, couldn't hang with the Gamecocks.

If USF wins, they'll likely face undefeated, defending national champion South Carolina.

Fernandez was elevated from recruiting coordinator to head coach in November 2000 after just months at USF.

An investigation found non-coaching staff members participated impermissibly during practice and off-field activities.
