UConn Job Posting for Asst Women's Basketball Coach

[oldude]

Somebody may have already raised this issue, but it suddenly dawned on me that this job posting may have more to do with Shea rather than Marisa. With the imminent birth of her child, is it possible that Shea is planning to take some time away from coaching?

Is it now permissible to speak of the obvious? I raised this issue in the main Marisa thread with great circumspection. Raised without raising you see. So circumspect no one got it. The potential relevance of that which cannot be mentioned is obvious. Unfortunately we have only questions with no answers. Yes, time will tell. Time tells all; some of us have more time than others.

Yeah, I mentioned that too - and was informed that Shea would strap the baby to her back and be there!

Rocky, unfortunately I missed your post, but in today’s day and age, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with discussing the very real issue that many expectant moms face when confronting the incredibly difficult challenge of balancing the demands of a newborn and their career.

So Shea is leaving too? When did this all start happening? How long have I been asleep? Is Geno still coach?

There has been no public announcement of Shea departing, taking a leave of absence, or anything of the sort, but she is most definitely expecting, and UConn WBB is advertising for an assistant coach to work with the guards.

I came to the same conclusion but refrained from commenting.

According to her baby gift registry (babylist dot com), Shea's due date is June 26. That suggests that the coaching staff may not be at full strength over the summer and early fall. In any event, the staff will be trying to incorporate at least one newbie. I'm thinking that Geno's time at the Jersey Shore may be foreshortened.

FYP.

Geno sold his NJ shore house a long time ago. His beach house is now in Niantic where he enjoys the crystal clear waters of LI Sound and breathtaking views of Millstone.

Yes and the train tracks complete with overhead catenary squeezed into the 20 feet of space between the road and water adds to the picturesque scenery.

. That's what I get for spending time "up" the shore in Rhode Island where there are no "Situations."

All made up for by the glorious 18-inch waves.

Don’t worry, soon that situation will be doing time in a place like Danbury FCI where all the white collar criminals seem to vacation.

Yes, with nary a Snooki in sight.

Hmmmm, sounds like Coach Jumper doesn't make the cut.

What are you doing on Volnation?

You know, just slumming it.

Food for thought. What if Shea wants to expand her coaching range to prepare herself to be a HC someday and wants to start working with forwards a bit more so then they bring in a guard coach like Lister to fill the space left by Shea if she wants a new self development experience.

LOL. I do it for s**ts and giggles.

If they make of couple of changes to the job posting, maybe they can get Kobe Bryant to fill in???

Let's just go for it and get Becky Hammon....

From a career development perspective, that’s actually an excellent thought. If Geno is looking at hanging it up 3-4 years down the road, and wants to give Shea every opportunity to earn the HC job once he moves on, Marisa’s departure is an excellent opportunity to shake things up by having Shea coach the forwards and bringing in someone new to coach the guards.

Hey, dont diss my beach!!
Though I thought Geno sold his property.

It would also have the virtue of allowing Shea to take a few months off without leaving a player position uncovered since CD can handle the posts by herself in the interim.
