Lady Vols assistant Jolette Law leaving for South Carolina

[stwainfan]

I'm not to surprised by this. Now this is a very important hire for Tennessee.

 

[CocoHusky]

Law coached the guards, and if anyone has watched UT for past few years you'd know that the guard position hasn't been strongest. So, it just might be a blessing that Law moved on.

Law also performed poorly in her time as HC at Illinois and was shown the door with too full years remaining on her contract.

TN should just throw some money at Balcomb and call it a day.

Ah...... I reentered this thread to mention Balcomb.... but you beat me to it

I think there will be some good names to choice from. It will be interesting to see who is contacted.

From what Balcomb has said, she didn't want a job that involved traveling. Wants to be at home with her young kids. The analytics job she has in South Carolina doesn't involve traveling. However, it's a one year contract expiring in July, so who knows for sure.

 

[Bayareahusky]

think TN needs to hire a coach who actively can audition de facto for head position there

Balcomb was in the final 2 for the ODU job. Must've changed her mind on the traveling.

There is a large contingent of LV fans whose hatred of Vandi exceeds their hatred of UConn. I doubt hiring Balcomb would go over well.

One thing the new AD Currie. He hired a good hire for baseball coach. I wonder what he will say.

That's not true of any TN Lady Vol fans

Or turned down ODU's offer?

 

[DaddyChoc]

do she sit out a year... or 2 due to being a in-conference transfer?

Terrible head coach, great assistant. The same applied to Carlene Mitchell.

Vivian has not produced many head coaches, but a number of very good assistants either played or coached for her (or both).

I believe that. Good for you. We hate you too.

 

[MilfordHusky]

From my understanding she was the recruiter who landed Evina Westbrook and Rennia Davis so yes she's the outstanding recruiter.

Also she's from Florence, SC so it's good to have her back home

I know we are not supposed to speculate about transfers, but keep an eye on this.

 

[LadyVols9]

gonna miss coach law BUT maybe, just MAYBE, holly thinks now about getting a real offensive minded coach on this staff.

 

[meyers7]

That's fine. She IS a very strong recruiter though and we need that.

Dawn is very hands on with our guards/wings.

I was gonna say, she ain't coming to S. Carolina to work with the guards. That's already taken care of.

 

[LadyVols9]

Law likely grew up a gamecock fan and has family in SC. this is no surprise really. the bigger news is that McCray left. She was a huge part of their success.

Begs couple of questions.

1) Was there any conversation between Law and Cooper regarding where she should transfer?

2) Will any of the signees for Tennessee rethink their move to that school if Law, their main recruiter has bailed?

3) Didn't Illinois have some unpleasantness between the coach and the players? Did Law bail out on the Illini because of any of that? Have I got that wrong?

Yes entirely wrong.

Kudos to Staley. Dawn gets it. If you aren't getting better, you are getting worse. I love what she is doing down there. She is building her program to last.

Make no mistake McCray was a big part of what SC did and was an excellent recruiter but Boyer and Chimel are the engines of the train and Dawn is the conductor. Both Chimel and Boyer are a big reason why we are so successful. They are both really hands on with the players and have a big hand in the offense we run.

Success has many fathers (or mothers) while failure is an orphan.

Except on the Boneyard, where all failures can be traced back to Frese, JPM, or Warlick. And sometimes Mulkey.
