Ben Kantor leaves for Georgia Tech.

[LetteD]

Maybe Moseley returns?

 

[Centerstream]

Good for Ben. I'm guessing it is some kind of promotion in duties.

 

[EricLA]

Maybe Moseley returns?

Congrats to Ben!

I have mixed feelings about Marissa possibly returning. I know Geno and the staff will decide what is best so just my $.02. I think it was great having her on the staff as a "non-UConn" player/assistant, etc. She was a non-UConn tree assistant. I'm sure she brought a different perspective having had experience at other schools.

She went to BU, was an assistant at Denver and Minnesota before UConn, then a HC at BU and then Wisconsin before leaving. I would say she was successful at BU, not so much at Wisconsin. I think her "outsiders" perspective is great, but not sure if Geno wants to revisit that or go in a new direction.

Having said that, he welcomed BOTH Tonya and Jamelle back after unsuccessful HC gigs, so who knows? I trust Geno to know what's best...

Is Caroline Doty available?

 

[Stagnant]

Maybe promote Hofschild?

 

[msf22b]

Marissa is a fabulous coach

 

[Skeets]

How about bringing in DT to kick some butts now that Geno is getting soft?

 

[Blakeon18]

If it turns out to be Marissa it is at least 'interesting' that it would be a 'reunion' of sorts
for her and Serah.

Just because somebody may not have success as a HC it does not mean they are a bad coach it more likely reveals they weren’t able to recruit for whatever reason.

UConn needs to add some young blood to the coaching staff. A lot of old timers currently on the staff.

 

[UConnCat]

It'll be interesting to see how specific the job posting is so we can start guessing who the new asst coach will be?

Well, I suppose that eliminates grandma DT who is old enough to be Paige's mother. Bisazzaire.

Blasphemy!

It will be hard to top the job description that all but listed Jasmine Lister by name.

Where did I say that in my post?

You need to update your signature. You're missing two National Championships!

 

[DEpup]

Wisconsin for some reason has never managed to have a good women's team even though the men's is always pretty good. Wisconsin is a great school and college atmosphere. Therefore, it has to be a lack of facilities and behind the scenes support that make recruiting difficult.

I’m wondering what happens first…Geno replaces Ben Kantor or Kayleigh Heckel announces where she’s heading? The world awaits…

 

[ConnMotors]

That’s why I mentioned Caroline Doty…

I want Tina Charles on the staff really bad. She’s such a great vet in the W, I know it’d translate well to coaching.

Serah is probably at UConn because of MM

Has anyone heard how or what she’s doing these days?

I could be wrong, but I doubt that Ms. Heckel is heading to Storrs. However, I wish her success wherever she ends up.

She has left basketball and is a psychotherapist in Southern California.
