As she said: "Once a Husky always a Husky." Holding yourself to a code of excellence is hard, but having done it it's both habit forming and contagious.

UConn women name Lister assistant coach

Previously reported by moi.... It is my raison d'etre. Please don't take my raisin away.

Thanks, Biff - it was getting hard to read the posts for all the [now removed - JS] drooling, and I don't mean about her considerable abilities as a coach.

I'm just an old fart who loves basketball, and what I have always enjoyed about Jasmine is her energetic joy of life. Cute as a button and yes, everything else, but she is one of those people who just give off good energy. I see her, I smile.

You left out height. Geno is finally taller than another coach.

Once you bring in height is where I draw the line.

I was wondering the same thing, though. I don't see it as a 'doom-and-gloom' thought. Simply a question

Thank you

Let's hope she can make her bones recruiting.

 

[BigBird]

Glad to see this happen. I really like what she brings to the job. Good luck, Jas!

Wait, I thought someone said she’s 5’5”? ....

I thought she was someone who just kept records. Then I saw her at Washington one year and at DePaul last season. I thought she was just a stat keeper for those two. I had no idea she was a former player and was an assistant coach. I hope she attracts some outstanding recruits and gets them to commit. Maybe there are some she was recruiting for DePaul who may want to follow her to UCONN.

Jas is justifiably proud of her playing career, so I wanted to tip my cap to her on that note as well. At 5'4" she's shorter than Crystal but she did make the big leagues briefly as a member of the L.A. Sparks, an accomplishment she treasures:

Methinks she'll be able to go toe-to-toe against Danger in practice drills should the need (opportunity?) arise.... !

The most interesting factoid from Jasmine's college career was her 'minutes played' stat of 4,626 minutes.

She started every single game in her career (129 games), so this is an average of almost 36 mins / gm ! That's some serious durability and drive. I know Vandy is not UCONN but this is a really, really noteworthy stat IMO.

2013-14 Honors
• Named WBCA All-American Honorable Mention.
• Named to postseason All-SEC Second Team by conference's coaches.
• Named WBCA Region 3 All-American nominee.

• Became program's all-time leader in minutes played during the game against Missouri on Jan. 30.
• Started every game in her career -- 129 games.
• SEC Academic Honor Roll.

2013-14 (Senior): Established herself as the most durable player in program's history by shattering the team record for minutes played, finishing her career with 4,626 minutes ... Started every game of her career (129), including 31 as a senior.

Jas AVERAGED 1,156 minutes per season. This past year, only Kia Nurse played more than that--1,223 minutes in 37 games. Kia averaged 33.1 minutes per game. Jas is durability personified.

Who is that tall person with Jasmine?

 

[MilfordHusky]

Welcome home, Jasmine! We missed you!

 

[ConnecticutBB]

So very happy to see Jasmine back at UCONN.
Who will Doug Bruno look for to replace her?

 

[JustinesGuy]

Maybe I can be Jastinesguy now

>>The 25-year-old Lister will be named an assistant at UConn to replace Marisa Moseley, who was introduced as the head coach at Boston University on Wednesday. An official announcement from the school could come as early as Thursday.<<

BIG metaphorical shoes to fill, the scope of what Marisa Moseley provided cannot be measured but can only now, in her absence, be appreciated.

Well said. Are you a speech writer by trade?

Oh happy day!

Sweet!!
