The Panthers, led by first year head coach Marlin Chinn, played their home games at FIU Arena, and were members of Conference USA. They finished the season 5–26, 5–16 in C-USA play to finish in last place. They advanced to the second round of the C-USA women's tournament, where they lost to Marshall. Controversy On March 11, 2016, FIU fired Chinn for an NCAA improper benefits rules violation, specifically a $600 loan to team captain Destini Feagin to resolve a school debt. The university suspended Chinn two weeks earlier, after Feagin accused Chinn of sexual harassment that persisted throughout the season.http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/college/conference-usa/florida-international-university/article65429682.html FIU women's basketball coach fired after sexual misconduct allegations Neal, David J.
