Domond: Let's bring Grambling women's hoops back

GRAMBLING, Louisiana -- To say that Nadine Domond didn't inherit much last August when she took over Grambling's women's basketball program would be an understatement.

At the time, Grambling had just two players on the roster, neither of which ended up on the team when the season rolled around last November.

"'Where is the team?'" Domond recalled thinking when she took the job. "And my director of operations at the time, Jeffrey Sims, said 'This is what we got coach.'"

Domond ended up churning out an 11-20 record (7-11 Southwestern Athletic Conference) with a roster of seven freshmen, three junior college transfers and five walk-on's.

The 2015-16 season will feature another roster overhaul of sorts with just five returning players, but Domond has hand-picked nine scholarship players to add to the Lady Tigers' rebuilding plan that took a hit last week with news of APR penalties that will limit the team to four fewer hours of practice time a week.
