History
continued from page 7
their involvement with a semi-pro
fessional Australian league. Runge
was unaware that their involve
ment infringed on NCAA rules.
That season, following road loss
es to the Washington schools,
Runge and star guard Arianne Boy
er, then a junior, clashed when
Runge asked players to write down
on paper why they lost. Boyer
blamed her coach, which led
Runge to suspend Boyer and call a
meeting with Athletic Director Bill
Moos and Boyer’s parents.
Boyer, who finished her career
fifth on the all-time scoring list,
spoke out against Runge this year,
saying she “is not a good coach.”
While the
accomplishments of our
women's basketball
program are impressive,
I had some concerns that
did not pertain to the
win-loss record.
Bill Moos
athletic director
While the Ducks continued
their success on the court in the
late ‘90s, tensions mounted be
tween Runge, the Athletic De
partment, Oregon players and
even her own coaching staff. As
sistant coach Stephanie Osburn
Norman, a favorite of Duck play
ers, did not return to the team
following the 1&98-99 season af
ter Runge did not renew her con
tract.
The next season, Oregon won its
first outright Pac-10 Conference ti
tle and advanced to its seventh
straight NCAA Tournament. Runge
was named Pac-10 Coach of the
Year, her second such honor.
Up until this season, the contro
versy surrounding Runge and her
program was for the most part ig
nored. then eight undisclosed
players went to Moos to address
grievances against Runge, which
ultimately appeared to have led to
her resignation.
“While the accomplishments of
our women’s basketball program
are impressive,” Moos said. “I had
some concerns that did not pertain
to the win-loss record.”
