UC Santa Barbara Kaili McLaren?
That was by necessity, since both Shea and Jasmine were guard coaches. CD could of course coach the post players, but she handles all the adm. minutiae for the team. It is no accident that once Jamelle came on board in 19-20, Liv’s play drastically improved in a very short period of time.It wasn't that long ago that Uconn coaches were discussing a change in responsibilities and that they were no longer dividing the work by guards and posts. Not sure if anything has changed.
You really believe that...on the Boneyard?I don't think we'll be surprised at all. The announcement will come and everyone will be like makes perfect sense....
(sarcasm font) - Why yes, let's recycle mens' coaches that have been around forever, have significant baggage attached, instead of hiring someone that is truly qualified for the job.I see some wild (but funny) names being thrown around. Why not think out of the box. Lots of Men’s Basketball coaches looking for jobs. For instance, Gregg Marshall, Sean Miller, Richard Pitino. Do you think it’s a coincidence that Roy Williams just retired??
Yea I can see this job posting more as a CYA requirement than a true solicitation intended to draw many responses. I think Geno had a short list and this description was written to be very restrictive, but not rule out anyone he was interested in. If I remember correctly it also had a very short reply window like a week. He may have an agreement with someone right now, but still has to go thru the formal process of interviewing others even though he knows he won't hire them.Isn't the state required to make a post because this is a state job? I'll put my money on Sales if he is looking for a guard coach. If not, then Tamika. Hansmeyer was an assistant at one point. So was Paige Sauer.
Pitino was hired by either New Mexico or New Mexico stI see some wild (but funny) names being thrown around. Why not think out of the box. Lots of Men’s Basketball coaches looking for jobs.

A true Rolling Stone.Melanie Balcomb checks most of the boxes as well. Vandy (HC) , South Carolina ( Consultant in only Championship Season), Texas Tech (Assistant), Purdue (Assistant), Providence Assistant when the BE was better than any P5), Xavier (Elite 8 appearance). Good offensive mind that definitely elevate SC offense in that one season and good at coaching guards (Jasmine Lister & Christine Foggie) are two examples.
Depends on what each is looking for next in their careers. UCONN is expect to contend for championships the next 3 years. An assistant coach looking to get back to be being a HC might be willing to take a pay cut to build a resume.IMHO, Bascomb, Boyle, Coale w/b out of the pay range for this position. I'm still thinking a less experienced assistant coach or a head coach at some of the less visible conferences.
So head coaching experience at two Power 5 schools, going far in the tournament and all those other extreme requirements go a long way to justifying the ultimate salary. You note the posting refers to something like pay related to experience. So this may just be bureaucratic gamesmanship.
If that is the scenario, they will try to avoid leaks before the formal application process is over, but an announcement could come shortly thereafter, even if the decision was made well before that. We will see soon.
