The Becky Burleigh Legacy
Burleigh, who began the program in 1995, has compiled 14 Southeastern Conference regulars season championships and 12 SEC tournament titles. Additionally, the Gators have made the NCAA tournament 22 times. On Saturday, she informed her team of her decision to retire following their morning practice. With the uncertainty this year has provided, she reassured her girls that she was all in for this season.
Additionally, she enters this 2020-2021 with 507 wins, putting her as the second among Division 1 coaches. Her most legendary season is perhaps 1998. Florida took down the powerhouse North Carolina to win the national championship. Also, she coached future national team players Danielle Fotopoulos, Abby Wambach and Heather Mitts.
