Lot of chatter on the Georgia board about it.
Niele Ivey and Shea Ralph are the main ones I'm hearing on Twitter and on different message boards.
Georgia is one of the best states for girls high school basketball talent (obviously). Multiple top 20 recruits almost every year and Andy lost his ability to reel them in. Niele and Shea seem like great fits as both are from elite pedigree and are seemingly some of the best recruiters in the game or have learned from the best recruiters in the game. Georgia really needs to make a splash with this hire.
Shea's a natural for the job, coming from the region. Ivey seems like a good choice too. She's a great recruiter.I'd much rather have Ralph go to UGA than Ivey
I'm sure they want a proven head coach first and foremost. This isn't a beginner's position.Unlikely for Shea Ralph to Georgia.
Kenny Brooks of JMU is rumored to have interviewed for position. http://jmusports.com/coaches.aspx?path=wbball&rc=523
Also a member of Andy's staff is being considered. If Ga is smart they would consider Shea and Niele for the position.
Wonder if they'll want to hire a male to replace Andy.
Ivey vs Shea.......It all comes down again to ND vs UConn , Part-2.Niele Ivey and Shea Ralph are the main ones I'm hearing on Twitter and on different message boards.

Probably yes - if you can get one of the really good ones, because they already have the CEO experience that comes with the territory of being a college coach. Every assistant that gets a head job has two learning curves - how to recruit and coach a team, and how to run a program - hiring and firing, and managing a staff and budget.Experience at losing? All the winners stay put, so the best you can get is a winning HC from a minor conference. Is that better than an assistant at UCONN or ND?
If UGA grabs one of the great mid-major coaches (Jabir for example) then that also creates another opening 'worthy' of a top flight assistant.UGA is a program that might be worthy of Shea....There are not that many "REAL OPPORTUNITIES" worth leaving UCONN.

Can someone fill in a couple of gaps for me. Does a university with an HC opening like Gerogia have to request permission from the assistant's school (UCONN and ND) to interview the assistants? My working assumption is that with a request for permission there is the possibility that the request could be turned down. Is that assumption correct?Speculation now at Ga is that Niele Ivey edged out Ralph and that an announcement is imminent.
