Probably was a bad match from the start. Jamelle always fully committed and working at 100%+. Other than Cin. hiring her, there is no evidence their Admin. had any focus on women's basketball.Jamelle: Univ. of Cincinnati's silly loss, UCONN's major gain.
Until I see ONO utilizing a hands up method to block shots, I will reserve judgement - i.e. is Jamelle achieving results as a cheerleader or as a bigs coach. Either way she Jamelle is helping the team.
I often wondered who makes the calls on what to televise on these post-game handshakes. I think there’s some potentially interesting story lines which go virtually untended. To the point on the Jamelle an Cindy players she recruited, to the potential aftermath of Geno and Coach Abe from last year and some final handshakes with coaches we’ll likely never see again.
I may be missing something, but what does it say about the UConn coaching staff, if an outside coach can come in and turn ONO around in two week? what m i missing here? Pls tell me...There is a thread here somewhere in which people surmise that ONO's accelerated growth is due in part at least to the addition of Jamelle to the staff. Well, surmise no longer. It's true. Hear it from ONO herself:
“She tries to bring that out of everybody, especially when we go through our post stuff,” Nelson-Ododa said of Elliott. “She is constantly on us about being tough in the lane and finishing well, rim running, getting to that post spot first and finishing.
“She’s a great coach. She brings lots of energy. She is very encouraging, and she really wants to work with us post players.”
And get them to work as hard as she once did.
“It’s all the little details, especially where we need to go on all of our plays,” Nelson-Ododa said. “She has worked with me on post moves and finishing through the contact. Just every day she is working with me in the post spot. I think that has really been helpful for us.
“I think I’m way more comfortable. That is something that I’m going to have to continue to build upon.”

It's not just any outside coach, it's JJ.
That does not apply when it come to a coaching staff. Players need to adjust to the style of the particular coach at their position. That is why teams have position coaches.
Exactly. I think Geno even referred to this in one of the Geno Shows. Jamelle being a new, different voice. New different eyes too.
You are so right. I was having trouble trying to understand trig functions. I never had a problem with any math up to that point. I was so frustrated that I went to the guidance counselor to try and get out of trig and have another study hall. Just so happened our GC was a math major and within an hour, I had "it". Stayed with trig and got a good grade. Different teachers (coaches) present differently and kids just get "it". Don't ask anyone what "it" is, because none of us know.
That was only about 55 years ago.
