Connecticut Sun Coach

[DICKG]

Does anyone have any information regarding the hunt for a new coach?

I think Jenn is very high on their list.

 

[ChicagoGG]

However, she said in an interview in the Courant that she is not interested at this time.

Shea

It would be a big pay cut for most DIV one head coaches.

How much do WNBA coaches get paid?

How much do WNBA coaches get paid?

In 2013 Mike Thibault was the highest paid WNBA coach at $150,000. Not primo jobs

Per the Courant story, Jenn would have to take a "substantial" pay cut if she became the Sun coach.

 

[DaddyChoc]

Shea would probably be taking a cut as well

I read that Ann Donovan was paid $250,000.00.

The @ConnecticutSun likely to name new coach this week.
Minnesota assistant Jim Petersen is out, as is Washington assistant Eric Thibault

John Altavilla ‏
Sources confirming Smith, Miller and Thibault, son of former @ConnecticutSun coach, interviewed. Minn assistant Petersen said no to offer.

John Altavilla ‏
Meanwhile, @katiesmith30 is coach in the making. Was assistant at @nyliberty this season. Likely needs more experience.

Shea

I would rather see Shea stay, and take over after Geno.

The Sun is holding a party Thursday late afternoon for season ticket holders - my assumption is that the announcement will be made then. Can't wait!

I would really like to know what happened with him at Indiana. It was very suspicious. He did coach Kia Nurse's sister there and they were very much in the hunt for her until his 'resignation'.

Timeline is a little bit off. I had Curt on Dishin & Swishin after Kia committed to UConn and he told me how much we would love having her, and that he had been really hopeful, etc etc.

"personal and family reasons" are not my business. He's a heckuva coach and a darn nice guy. Glad to have him in Connecticut. Looking forward to it.

David, I hope you can get Curt back on to talk Sun basketball in the near future (maybe after the draft). I met him tonight, and he seems like a good guy. I wish him all the success in the world here in "Neon Uncasville".

Press on the new Sun coach... big Geno connection, insights on the seasons past and hints of the future. I talked to both Sienko and Miller tonight and I'm on board. Nowhere to go but up and as for the new coach... In Geno We Trust, right?
