CELEBRATING THE 10TH YEAR OF MITTIE BALL TCU celebrates Head Coach Jeff Mittie’s 10th year at the helm of the Lady Frog basketball program in 2008-09. Since his arrival in Fort Worth prior to the 1999-2000 season, Mittie has turned TCU into one of the most consistent winning programs in women’s college basketball. Prior to his first season, the Frogs had totaled only one winning record and a .330 winning percentage in 17 seasons as members of Division I. Nine seasons, 196 wins and eight postseason bids later, the Lady Frog program is on the most stable foundation of the program’s history. Milestones reached in the Jeff Mittie era include: 196 Lady Frog victories (school record) 41 wins over current members of BCS conferences 12 victories over top-25 teams 7 NCAA Tournament bids 5 conference championships 5 NCAA Tournament Second Round appearances 5 top-25 finishes Lady Frogs in the WNBA 2 Adrianne Ross and Sandora Irvin of the WNBA’s San Antonio Silver Stars 1 2008-09 WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Table of Contents THE JEFF MITTIE CHAMPIONSHIPS I 2 FROGS IN THE WNBA I 5 CONFERENCE SEASONS I 7 TWENTY-WIN ERA: 9 YEARS 4INTRODUCTION 4TCU COACHES 4MEET THE FROGS 4TCU HISTORY BOOK 1 10 Years of Mittie Ball 59-62 Head Coach Jeff Mittie 99 Micaela Younger/Emily Carter 147 All-Time Coaches 2 Table of Contents/Credits 63 Q&A with Coach Mittie 100 Chantelle John/Eboni Mangum 148 Individual TCU Honors 3 TCU Quick Facts 64 Brian Ostermann, Associate Head Coach 101 Antoinette Thompson/Shayla Moore 149 1,000-Point Club 4 Daniel-Meyer Coliseum/ 65 Tonya Benton, Assistant Coach 102 Micah Garoutte/Helena Sverrisdottir 150 500-Rebound Club TCU Media Relations 66 Tricia Porter, Assistant Coach 103 Rachel Rentschler/Amanda Sims 151 All-Time Letterwinners 104 Tolu Omotola/TK LaFleur 5-6 Media Policies & Outlets 67 Sandora Irvin, Director of Operations 152-53 All-Time Conference Standings 7 TCU/ISP Sports Network 68-69 Support Staff 154-57 All-Time Series Results 8-10 Season Preview 70 Chancellor Victor J.
