ATHENS, Ga. -- Andy Landers, the only full-time women's basketball head coach in University of Georgia history, announced his retirement on Monday. Landers recently completed his 36th season in Athens, during which he recorded his 850th win with the Lady Bulldogs.

"I feel blessed to have had the privilege of working at the University of Georgia for the past 36 years," Landers said. "Athens is a wonderful community where I have raised my family and had the unwavering support of my wife Pam, my daughter Andrea and my son Drew. I appreciate the support of a wonderful Bulldog Nation...our loyal fans...and the Fastbreak Club members. I owe a special thanks to Coach Vince Dooley for entrusting me with the challenge of building a successful program 36 years ago and to Greg McGarity for continuing that trust and support. A big thank you to Hugh Durham for being a young coach's mentor...to Presidents Davison, Knapp, Adams and Morehead for their guidance and leadership...to all my former and present staff members and coaches who worked tirelessly to help make the success that we have a reality.

Hallelujah Praise the Lord!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh happy day what a great day in UGA athletics. We should be thankful for what Andy did for the program, which is a whole hell of a lot, but anyoen with eyeballs can see that this is past due. What a great day.

I'm very thankful for what he meant to the program and wish him the best of luck. I'm glad he went out gracefully as well. Hopefully the program gets back on it's feet soon.

With some of our recent hires in some of the non-revenue sports I have my fingers crossed... It's hard to replace legends like Yoculan & Landers but with the strength of those programs we shouldn't be having to hold our breath... wondering...

I was getting ready to post something along these lines. The team was doing fairly well until the star broke her leg and then a couple more injuries happened.
