Lister was charged with coaching a men’s practice team against Bruno and the national team. “Her leadership and coaching ability jumped out at me and made me take notice,” Bruno said. I went up to (Team USA head coach) Geno afterwards and asked who she was. He said that’s Jasmine Lister and she is a graduate assistant on our staff. “Next to the people on our staff here, the Division I staff I’m closest to is UConn with all the time we’ve worked together on Olympic teams the last 10 years. I’ve gotten to know Chris Dailey, Shea Ralph and Marisa Mosely quite well. “Jas was an assistant coach last season with Mike Neighbors at Washington, who has taken the job at Arkansas which made her available. Mike gave her the highest recommendation, as did Geno.” [URL='http://www.depaulbluedemons.com/sports/w-baskbl/spec-rel/060117aaa.html']DePaul Names Lister Womens Basketball Assistant Coach[/URL] There was a big article on her a couple of days before the game. Can't seem to find it again. Ah, edit 'cuz the blind squirrel found it again. This from Jasmine: "I see them a lot, but I still want to tell them, 'Thank you,' " Lister said. "They've done a lot for me. They taught me a lot about basketball and a lot about myself as a person. They took someone in from another program, someone they didn't know, and treated me like one of their own. And even though I've been gone for a year they are still looking out for me and still make me feel like I'm a part of it. They didn't have to do all that and I'll always remember it."
