The Florida Gators have announced they will be moving on from women’s basketball coach Kelly Rae Finley and are looking for a new coach heading into the offseason. Florida finished the 2025-26 campaign 18-15, with a 5-11 record in conference. The Gators lost to Oklahoma in the SEC Tournament on Thursday to end their season.
The Finley Era didn’t start under great circumstances, but even when given time, she ended up in the same place almost everyone in Gainesville has, and the grand question as Stricklin gets ready to hire his third women’s basketball coach as Florida’s AD is whether or not he can get it right this time around.
