• Bachelor’s degree Check!
• five years of coaching experience working within a women’s collegiate Division I basketball program... Well I read the Boneyard, that should be close enough.
• coaching experience at two or more universities that are members of Power 5 conferences Again, I read the Boneyard
• working knowledge of the correct application of NCAA regulations Read the Boneyard
• strong commitment to the academic goals of the University, Sure
• excellent organizational, teaching, communication and public relations skills I post on the Boneyard.

Frankly, I think I am very close on this.

Ladies and gentlemen we have found our coach Jumper

Jen has never coached at a school that's in a P5 conference.

Hartford isn't in a P5 conference. Neither is GW.

 

[hoopsfan22]

Wow so Jamelle wouldn't even meet the qualifications?

 

[chuckhusky]

Drat. Probably no one on the Boneyard.

That should eliminate all the young players/coaches. That is some strong minimum qualifications. I suspect that job description is written with a specific person in mind because there won't be that many people qualified.

 

[cordarone]

Morgan Valley

 

[victor64]

Wow so Jamelle wouldn't even meet the qualifications.

CD wouldn't qualify.

 

[hart2hart]

Ditto Coco!
Tamika Jeter!

 

[DEpup]

So based on that criteria, it looks like only Morgan Valley and Tamika Williams Jeter would qualify amongst former UConn players.

Maybe Geno takes something else from Ohio State....

 

[JonathanXIV]

Agreed. This job description was written for one individual. Needed qualifications are too specific and eliminates too many otherwise qualified candidates. For example, none of UConn’s current coaches (including Shea) meet them. Funny that Geno is not qualified to be his own assistant.

 

[DEpup]

Hmm... Tamika Williams Jeter.. consider.

1. Meets criteria and former UConn great
2. Ayanna Patterson has a close relationship with Jeter family and gave advice to her on signing with UConn
3. Dorka Juhacz is coming from Ohio State
4. Tamika coach at Ohio State
5. Geno just recently filmed undefeated tv series where she was a guest and they could have caught up and talked shop

I don't believe in coincidences in the universe....

 

[Argonaut]

You know who checks every single box...?

???

 

[Kaizen]

Jen doesn't meet the minimum qualification:

1. coaching experience at two or more universities that are members of Power 5 conferences

Two or more universities that are members of Power 5 conferences
==>I think Geno already has a person in his mind

 

[BRS24]

God no!

I agree. IMHO this is a career development job and not a rehabilitation tour. With the questions of transfers from VU, not sure the program would want to deal with that baggage, regardless of whether it was valid or not.
