I found the following P5, American and BE coaching info interesting:
- Illinois hired their new head coach from Division III where she amassed a 737-133 record (Nancy Fahey)
- Kentucky staff includes former head coaches Lin Dunn and Niya Butts. Sister Tasha Butts is an assistant at LSU with 2 former head coaches as well - Charlene Thomas-Swinson and Mikki DeMoss.
- Mississippi State has Mike Thibault's daughter Carly on staff.
- All 3 assistants at Notre Dame have the title "Associate Head Coach"
- Melanie Balcomb returns to coaching as Associate Head Coach at Texas Tech
- Briann January joins the staff at Arizona State
- I think we knew, but I remind that Mark Trakh returns to USC as head coach
- Houston's head coach spent a year as an Assistant at Rutgers, as well as a number of other schools. One of his Assistants, Vicki Picott is in the RU WBB hall of fame, she played for Teresa Grentz
- Beth Dunkinberger, who at one time coached Virginia Tech, is an assistant at Tulane.
- Although I knew of most UConn players that coach, I didn't know that Nykeshia Sales was at UCF, where the head coach played for Vivian at Iowa.
- Former NY Liberty assistant coach Nick DiPillo is on the staff at Seton Hall
- Former Rutgers players coaching include Tasha Pointer (Northwestern), Miya McCurdy (Wisconsin), Chelsea Newton (Georgia), and Courtney Locke (Hawai'i, an Arizona opponent this season).
Hope you all enjoy the info.
