| Sue Semrau retires after coaching college ball |
She retires after 24 years as FSU’s all-time winningest coach with a record of 470-271.
Her teams went to the NCAA Tournament 16 times, made it to the Sweet 16 five times, and advanced to the Elite 8 three times.
Semrau played for the Scots in the early years of their basketball program for Coach Bruce Langley. Her sister, Pam Simpson, has been a long-time teacher at Kellogg Middle School.
She played her college ball at University of Puget Sound for two years before she transferred to UC San Diego.
‘Coach Sue’ garnered many honors while patrolling the sidelines for the garnet and gold Seminoles.
Her greatest accomplishments, though, don’t appear on the scoreboard or in the record books. They are found in the moments, big and small, private and in the spotlight, and in the relationships she has created with her players, assistant (and opposing) coaches, and countless other members of the FSU family.
