The up-and-down existence started with Toulouse buying the rights of another club to play in NF1 in 2008-2009.
The club finished fourth at the end of the regular season and did not win the NF1 final four.
However they still ended up winning promotion to the LFB because Union Hainaut Basket and Reims were relegated from the LFB due to financial problems.
TMC just escaped relegation in their first season in the LFB but were initially refused entry due to financial issues.
The club had released most of the players before the decision was reversed.
Then Toulouse managed to get some young players just in time for the new season. They were never competitive and finished last.
Matthieu Chauvet (in picture) was hired to replace Garnier as a coach. His record at Roche Vendée makes him one of the most exciting coaches in the Ligue Féminine 2.
The five new players joining him at TMC are:
Agathe Degorces (Pau-Orthez - LF2), Lorraine Lokoka (Reims - LF2), Maud Medenou (Rennes - LF2), Darline Nsoki (Tarbes - LFB) and Carrem Gay who played last season as a medical replacement in the LFB for Aix-en-Provence.
The five players returning from last season are:
Emilie Maurice (captain), Lola De Angelis, Lou Mataly, Jessie De Colo and Nina Bogicevic.
Bogicevic was injured before the start of last season and was unable to play.
The following players left the club:
Camille Aubert (Basket Landes - LFB), Shanavia Dowdell, Chandrea Jones, Leslie Matanga (Le Havre - LF2) and Suzana Milovanovic.
