[SIZE=6][B]After leave of absence, UConn assistant will not return - [/B][/SIZE] Jasmine Lister has resigned as an assistant coach at UConn, the school announced Tuesday May 5, 2020. Lister [URL='https://highposthoops.com/2020/01/31/huskies-assistant-coach-takes-leave-of-absence/']took a leave of absence[/URL][B][I] for personal reasons[/I][/B] this winter, midway through her second season with the team. She had been away from her post since January 9, when a university spokesperson said she wasn’t feeling well. [I]“I am grateful for my time spent with the UConn women’s basketball program,” Lister said in a release. “I have learned a lot from Coach Auriemma, the coaching staff and the student-athletes. They have been supportive of me during my time away. Thank you to the entire UConn family and I look forward to the future.”[/I] A former Vanderbilt player and UConn graduate assistant from 2014-16, Lister was named assistant coach for the Huskies before the 2018 season following stints at DePaul and Washington. [SIZE=5][FONT=times new roman]We discussed it here in the yard after the news broke. It was suggested and acknowledged that the reason for her departure from the program was a private matter that she nor the school had a duty to make public. We all agreed that it was none of our business, we have no right to know, so we left it alone and moved on. That is where it stands today. That's a body that the boneyard collective is not interested to trying to exhume. We were very happy to have her for the brief time she was here. We all wish her well. She will no doubt turn up again in another program and resume her coaching career. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
