Marisa Moseley named head coach at her alma mater Boston University.

In a way I hope they bring in someone outside the UCONN family - who are some of the great "recruiting" assistants out there? I'm sure I will be thrilled whoever they hire. I know they will hire the best person for the job that needs to be done.

UConn pays its assistants exceptionally well, and just about every one of them who left ended up with a head coaching gig. I have to believe there’s a couple hundred qualified young assistants polishing up their resume at this very minute.

Congratulations and many thanks to Marisa, I don't think Jamelle is looking to come back to UConn as the 3rd Assistant Coach. My guess is that Geno will take a serious look at promoting Chloe Pavlich to a full time assistant as I believe she's been with the Huskies now for 3 seasons as a grad assistant/intern.

Actually only two seasons.

I think these things happen in a period of time and is not a surprise so I bet Geno has at least a small list of candidates and maybe even a replacement choice already. These things are often choreographed.

 

[oldude]

You are correct. You may also be aware that it was Marisa who originally arranged for Chloe to interview with Geno for the graduate assistant position at UConn.

Please bring back Jasmine Lister as new Assistant coach!

Kelly Faris apparently wishes to remain in basketball rather than explore other options. I never felt that she was a candidate for the pro game, but have always thought of her as the ultimate college player, and one who could make a natural transition into coaching. It is said that one cannot coach effort, but Kelly might be the very one to test that theory. I'd love to see her back in Storrs, and think this might be just the spot for her.

Kelly does not meet the minimum qualifications in the job posting. I started a thread with the UConn job posting for the position.

Definitely gonna miss her such a beautiful lady who can dress...oh yeah and the players seemed to love her

 

[HGN]

Congrats Marisa......Sorry to see her go but glad she got the opportunity.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

She would bring some toughness into the mix. I like her.

Oh really! Gosh, oh golly gee. The mix being softey Geno, push over CD and creme puff Shea. That mix, huh.

I was going to put, not that we’re soft now to avoid this response.

I second that

 

[CocoHusky]

Just getting around to this thread. Anyone mention Precious as a replacement?

 

[JustinesGuy]

I heard Pam Webber.

Oh well, there's always a next time.

Also must be prepared to be loud and loquacious. Kelly, not so much.

Good call! (But aren't we looking for a post coach?)

I really like that idea a lot. But, I think she has business interests in Florida beyond the coaching.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

The posted Job Listing says guards. Leading to all sorts of speculation.

Her predecessor comes to mind as well, though her name doesn't. But I know you know who I mean. (from Vanderbilt)

Yeah sounds good buddy. Maybe in another lifetime brotha

 

[Carnac]

Does not seem like a step up to go from assistant at UConn to HC at BU.

I don't think this is viewed as a step up, rather a step out. She'll go to BU and learn the nuances of being a head coach as Dawn Staley did at Temple. Like Staley, the "step up" will come with her next job after BU.

 

[chrissaran]

Congratulations to Marisa. I would say that puts Shea at the top of the list, although depending on Jen's success at GW, she may be in the mix, too.

Congrats to Marisa!! To summarize my feelings right now:
