Asst Coach Job Posting

Is there some reason so many seem nearly desperate for a UConn alum to be hired? I mean seriously, there are other people out there in the profession, good ones even. It might not be a bad idea to open the circle a bit.

  • Bachelor’s degree Check!
  • five years of coaching experience working within a women’s collegiate Division I basketball program... Well I read the Boneyard, that should be close enough.
  • coaching experience at two or more universities that are members of Power 5 conferences Again, I read the Boneyard
  • working knowledge of the correct application of NCAA regulations Read the Boneyard
  • strong commitment to the academic goals of the University, Sure
  • excellent organizational, teaching, communication and public relations skills I post on the Boneyard.
Frankly, I think I am very close on this.

Ooh - let's dissect the qualifications as posted:

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
  1. Bachelor’s degree
  2. five years of coaching experience working within a women’s collegiate Division I basketball program
  3. coaching experience at two or more universities that are members of Power 5 conferences
  4. working knowledge of the correct application of NCAA regulations
  5. strong commitment to the academic goals of the University
  6. excellent organizational, teaching, communication and public relations skills

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
  1. Division I head coaching experience
  2. coaching experience on team(s) that have advanced to at least the regional round of the NCAA D I WBB Championship
  3. demonstrated experience coaching players who have achieved conference and/or national honors
  4. former playing experience at the Division I collegiate level
So, now that we know both the minimum and preferred qualies, any guesses on who meets the min or both?

2 or more years of Power 5 University experience? Interesting. Wonder if "experience" could mean you played for one Power 5 University and coached at another? Something this specific usually means there is a preferred candidate or set of candidates.

No.
 
What about Niele?! :cool: I hear it is a little hot in South Bend!

Interesting also that the posting is for 1 week - comes down on the 20th.

I find it funny (sic. sad) you disqualify your own conference.
 
I assume a call was made to someone prior to the job posting that went along the lines of "Do you have an interest in being an assistant coach at UConn? If so, your application would be very strongly considered.". The answer was yes and the job posted.

No one has mentioned that they would be looking for someone to coach the guards. Morgan Valley matches their needs within the program better than Tamika Jeter, who would be a third post coach.

I hear you and its in the back of my mind but on the other hand Jamelle was a tweener G/F as a player and she was a head coach so I think she could slide over to guards for Tamika. Morgan Valley is also a good choice too..
 
Sorry, but how does Morgan Valley meet those qualifications? And with her W-L record at Hartford, I just have to believe UConn can get someone with a bit more coaching luster.
 
Here’s a question to consider. The job description is detailed and likely applies to a particular individual with substantial experience as a player and coach, including HC experience. Is it possible that this individual would also be Geno’s heir apparent when he steps down?
 
FWIW there was an article in The Hartford Courant within the last week indicating that the University of Hartford is seriously considering dropping down to Division III in all sports.

Also I recall that when Jasmine Lister was hired the job description was specifically tailored to her.

That's my recollection as well.

Maybe the qualifications are to discourage peeps from applying. If Geno wants to call you he will call you published qualifications be damned.

She most certainly meets them. Among other things, she was an assistant at Washington when they went to the final 4. She was also an assistant at Arizona and Virginia Tech. Kelsey Plum and Aari too. Head Coach as well, it didn't say P5 head coach. And as to performance, I don't know what has been going on at Hartford to comment.

That said, lots of coaches technically meet the qualifications - Jolette Law comes to mind, FWIW. Not as a UConn Assistant Coach candidate just as someone that meets the qualifications.

Morgan Valley of course meets the requirements. She was an assistant coach at Virginia Tech, Washington and Arizona. She was an asst at Washington when it made its Final Four run with Kelsey Plum. She is now a head coach at Hartford, a school considering downgrading to Div 3. Would not have to relocate.
