Lister Resigns

[FairView]

Does anybody have any ideas on who should replace Jasmine?

Jamelle or Jamelle or Jamelle or maybe, ummmmm, oh yeah, Jamelle

 

[oldude]

There may be a hiring freeze.

Good point. I believe the University President announced one on April 14, along with a spending freeze. Hopefully, Jamelle is willing to extend her coaching role for an indeterminate period of time.

 

[triaddukefan]

I got someone in mind.. Wouldn't be available until March though.

 

[huskeynut]

Sad to see Jas go. Don't know why the leave of absence but I had a feeling she was not returning.

I would think Geno will talk with Jamelle first. I would hope she would say yes.

As to replacement if no Jamelle - who knows. I hate to burst bubbles but Sue & D will not want the job.

You don't think JPM could get fired in mid-season?

 

[AmeriConn]

Give it an hour, and we'll see at least 10 candidates listed by Boneyarders.

Some thoughts:

Will Crockett

Morgan Tuck

Karlie Samuelson

Tim Fudd

Lock my vote in for Tim Fudd. A 4 yr. contract.

There may be a hiring freeze.

FWIW, Tara has said that Stanford WCBB has a similar hiring freeze for the assistant coach position that opened up when Lindy La Rocque took the head coaching job at UNLV. Stanford announced a university-wide hiring freeze in late March that applies across all departments, athletic included, and has not said when it will be lifted, so for now Stanford is operating down one assistant coach.

I can be there tomorrow

Oh no you didn't!

 

[oldude]

Jeff Waltz.......or if we go with a person of color...either Barak Obama or Michelle Obama...

Walz would certainly be interested if he feels it would help squeeze another pay raise out of Louisville.......

 

[Ozimoto]

We may never know the reasons for Jasmine's leave of absence but hope all is well with her.

Coach Jumper from Volnation lol

 

[BobbyJ]

What about Nykesha Sales or Kelly Faris? I now Sales is at Central Florida and Faris is still playing but I think if Elliott doesn't want it, the replacement should should be a former Husky.

I could see Sales being a fit.

It was obvious to me that Jamelle made a big difference in the team while
she was on the bench. I saw a lot more toughness. My vote is for Jamelle.

There may be a hiring freeze.

I was actually thinking that with the money situation her old (current?) job might be a position at risk. As I see it that position is a long term investment to bolster the strength of the alumni structure with the long term payoff being a deep pool for alumni financial (and other) support. A good long term investment but at short term costs. Does anyone know if that position has any outside funding that supports it or is it a school (state) cost?

Coach Jumper from Volnation lol

He can be there tomorrow! He has some drills, you know...

 

[CocoHusky]

It terms of replacement Chloe Pavlech would be a good choice. When last seen on the BY Chloe was relating pretty well to a couple of UCONN prospect named Paige and Azzi. Can someone repost that video.

I was reassured by Geno's statement:

“I’m happy to share that Jasmine is doing well and appreciates the kindness of UConn Nation during her time away from our program,” coach Geno Auriemma said in a statement. “She has indicated that she will not return as an assistant coach and will instead pursue other professional opportunities. Jasmine is a great person and I’m sure the next chapter of her life will bring continued success. I wish her all my best.”

Inferentially at least it answers some questions.

I’d love if Chloe Pavlech was an option.

@oldude @Argonaut can you two get the word to him ASAP? Lol

Hey, That strategy worked a few years back at Ohio State for a certain high profile player! I'd even make Mr. Fudd Assistant AD if he'd bring along a certain young family member with a beautiful jump shot.

 

[oldude]

More info on UConn’s hiring freeze. Any new hires have to be approved by either the president, the provost or the EVP of Administration. This applies to all departments, with the exception of UConn Health.

It says she's going to pursue other professional opportunities, so I guess she wasn't happy at UConn?

? Yes you are correct. You did guess.
