EKL is being turned into a volleyball only facility. WBB coaching offices being moved into Dome. Hopefully their won't be any more Mardi Gras conflicts at the Dome going forward. Women did play at EKL late in the season due to a conflict. Better coordination needed on that front. Taking basketball out of it, hopefully the changes at EKL allow volleyball recruiting to improve.

I assume women will now be using the practice facility court?

One more season of Bobby Marlin basketball and the boys could move back home to Earl K

Yes, WBB will now practice at Moncla. There may be days in which the women and men will have to coordinate their schedules. Simple solution is to have the Dome court available more frequently so as both squads can go when they want to. It does cost money to do that however. During the summer, coaches are allowed to work with the full team four hours per week. In the past the men's team would work in the afternoon on Mondays through Thursdays. They may have to adjust their time to do so somewhat going forward.
