Iowa State University: Former Cyclone softball coach Rowe testifies in termination case
She had a 166-244 record and insulted almost every school we played and she doesn't think that her dismissal is "justified".
BTW- Since she was dismissed 3 years ago, the Cyclones have a 97-100 record with they best year being last year.

She is now fighting for back pay and damages for wrongful dismissal.
Crowe testified Wednesday that her firing on June 1, 2005, came without warning from former athletic director Bruce Van De Velde, who asked her to resign, then terminated her with one year left on her contract........
