Who might be interested in UCONN

[jsloanjr]

Maybe Jen Rizzotti? Does Geno or Jen make the call?

I was thinking the same thing. The only negative is that in this world of social media, they may want someone younger and more in touch with the young recruits. I’m not saying Jen is old but someone Jasmine or Marissa’s age would be better for recruiting, not for coaching. Coaching wise, I would want Jen.

Tamika (Willams) Jeter come on down!...bring Ayanna with you

Shea's vacated position might be dependent on how Jamelle's role is situated with the staff. If she plans to stay long term and build a resume like Shea and Tonya, then it might benefit Geno to bring on a less experienced assistant. My gut is it will be someone a bit surprising, just like Marissa.

Jen petered out eventually at Hartford and took a good club at George Washington down hill and got fired recently. PressReader.com - Your favorite newspapers and magazines.

She wouldn't be my choice.

46-Jen
38 Marisa is that enough age gap to coo ok nectar with the young
Jasmine is 28

Unless Geno is looking for a lot of experience to replace Shea, and if he is looking for someone younger but with Uconn experience, talk to Morgan Tuck to see if she is interested in coaching. A professional through and through with "rings" at both the college and professional level and young enough to relate to the young players/recruits. I don't think you need someone who has played the guard position to fill Shea's role. Just look at all the successful position coaches in the NFL, a lot of them did not even play at the NFL level and/or the position they are coaching.

Someone mentioned Kristy Toliver, I would love that.

Maybe Autumn goes from walk-on player to walk-on assistant coach.

 

[triaddukefan]

I know of a former P5 coach who might be looking for work, Conference coach of the year at three schools.... ties to the New England area.

 

[nuna23]

mprgan tuck is perfect we need her

 

[chrissaran]

You could do better is what you're saying. The coach before Jen was fired, Jonathan Tsipis, was fired from Wisconsin, where Marisa is now the coach. His record: 50-99 overall and 16-74 in the Big Ten. He got lucky because he had Jonquel Jones for 4 years.

How about exploiting our European pipeline? Or explore the land down under?

I would like to toss Jackie Styles name into the mix. She was a premier guard and assistant to Kelly Harper and Sherri Coale. I believe she has the background experience.

Not a bad choice but even Styles doesn't qualify.... They know who they want and they are just going through the University's HR rules....

You crack me up!!!!! Does this coach come from my neck of the woods?

Why is everyone saying Rizzotti? Cause she is a former player... after seeing her GW gig... I would say no thanks to that.

Team USA thinks she’s still ok. I’ll listen to them.

It doesn't matter anyway since she doesn't qualify...

I wonder if Geno hires within the family, qualifications be damned. Meg Culmo, Rebecca, Maya, Stacy Hansmeyer.............and whose to say it has to be a woman?
