Asst Coach Job Posting

[AmeriConn]

Tamika Jeter!

Do we have any openings for Richie Jeter also?

 

[Martin]

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

 

[KnightBridgeAZ]

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.

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.

You know who else does?

Is that Sherri Cole? Looks like her.

 

[Puppy Love]

I think Geno probably mentioned the P5 to automatically disqualify Jen

Does it rule out Tyler Summitt? I’d insert the eyeroll emojis, but I can’t get them to work.

 

[UConnCat]

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.

Morgan not off to a good start st U hart

 

[bluedevil]

If I can get 18 dollars an hour...I would do it. Don't need health care..have Medicare...played some volleyball at a P5 school and saw the movie Hoosiers twice. I'm a Connecticut native.....and I like dogs..

Here's another take...

 

[Vowelguy]

Ladies and gentlemen we have found our coach Jumper

Not yet. He needs to say he can start tomorrow.

 

[Carnac]

You know who checks every single box...?

???

Now you’re on to something!! You hit the bullseye. I bet she’d take their call.

 

[Stymie]

Man is this a tough crew.

Morgan was an assistant at Washington, Arizona, and VA Tech.....

 

[uconnfan68]

Two or more universities that are members of Power 5 conferences
==>I think Geno already has a person in his mind

I don’t think Tara is going to move to Storrs.

 

[Ron and Vida]

Drat. Probably no one on the Boneyard.

This is a bad thing?

 

[BobbyJ]

Jen Rizzotti

Rizzotti doesn't meet the minimum qualifications. UHartford and GWU have never been in a Power 5 conference.

 

[AmeriConn]

I hope we pick someone on the younger side. A coach the new recruits can relate to.

 

[BobbyJ]

Agree with both of you.

Numerous people have commented "Geno wouldn't meet those qualifications". "CD wouldn't meet those qualifications". "Jamelle wouldn't meet those qualifications".

You are correct. They are not interviewing Geno or CD or Jamelle for the job. I believe, like several others, that there is literally one person in mind, who may have already agreed to take the job, and that the job description was written specifically with them in mind.

Now come on you BY detectives - who checks every box??!!!

Tamika Williams Jeter.

 

[BobbyJ]

You know who else does?

LMAO!! This is just wrong.

 

[msf22b]

Gail Goestenkors, fits the requirements
as does Carolyn Peck...

Not recommending...just sayin...

 

[Sifaka]

What about that guy who wears the plaid shirts? I hear he's good at recruiting elementary school kids.

 

[Boreifs]

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.

She has been an assistant at both Washington and Arizona and has been a head coach.

 

[Cheddie]

I would be really surprised if Geno doesn’t already have a pretty good idea who he expects to fill this job.

It’s definitely not Coach Jumper........

I'd be completely shocked if he doesn't have someone (or more than one person) in mind. The job posting is simply the need to adhere to state personnel requirements.

 

[Charliebball]

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?

gee sorry TonyC............

 

[Charliebball]

What about Niele?! I hear it is a little hot in South Bend!

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

how about Muffet?........
