The new Vandy coach will be...[merged thread]

[mtsuraider06]

Niele Ivey

Announcement soon.

Wow! Just Wow! Potential game changer for WCBB's recruiting landscape.

 

[mtsuraider06]

Heard it was pretty much a done deal, but as with everything, things can change.

 

[EricLA]

That would be a great hire for them I would think!

Coupla Gals on the UConn sideline will take a good look at themselves in the mirror tonight and have a good think.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

If true that's an outstanding hire. I think she has the potential to do great things and certainly give Tennessee a fight for in state talent.

UConn is already giving Tenn a fight for in-state talent.

If you were a school like Vandy, and you have a choice between Ivey, Ralph, and Moseley, who would you pick ?

Agree, and let's see if that potential is realized

You mean as coach . . . ?

For coach, I might go with Ivey because of her private school experience. I might give her an edge on recruiting. Hard to say.

 

[sarals24]

Great hire for them. Wonder how that will affect ND recruiting? I could see her coaching there for a few years and then taking Muffet's place when she retires.

Toss up.

According to Raoul on twitter it is down to Ivey and Banghart - both would be great choices

WOW - either way!

Good for Vandy!

They would have been great choices at another private Southern school in a power 5 conference... and I aint talking about Wake Forest

TCU?

The muffett coaching tree has had more success than Geno's, which hives Ivey the edge for me.

 

[HoopsFan21]

This will be tough on Tennessee. I'll bet Ivey is a better coach than Warlick or will be in short order, and we know she can recruit, plus Vandy is one of the best schools in the country.

There are some variables in dealing with your question. First I would post the job to see who may have interest as I want nobody that has to be talked into taking the job. If I were reaching out and asking for permission of your short list it would come down to Ivey & Ralph. Having said that it would be between a rock and a hard place to decide as they both have great credentials.
While Ivey would seem to be the logical choice to the laymen with her position as assoc head coach along with the first ever presented Assistant Coach Of The Year award.
Niele Ivey Named National Assistant Coach of the Year Of which we all know should have been named after and the first one presented to CD.
Shea has years of experience with CD and the best coach in all the game. She seems to be content just like CD where she is right now. Possibly Genos successor with Moseley playing the role of CD???

 

[triaddukefan]

TCU?

I was thinking they were in the AAC

Perhaps I should have said elite southern private Power 5 university

Niele Ivey

Announcement soon.

WOW!!! THAT'S a bombshell. Good luck and good fortune to Niele Ivey. She's paid her dues, and learned her craft from one of the best. It'll be interesting to see how long it takes her to bring Vandy into the top 10 rankings nationally. Will she be able to attract top 10 recruits from any given class on a regular basis ? She's going to have to if she wants to run with the BIG girls, and carve a niche for her program on the national WCBB landscape. A bigger bombshell would be if one of OUR assistant coaches takes a head coach position somewhere this summer.

And you know this how?

 

[Vowelguy]

Bombshell?
Not if you read the thread 3 weeks ago.


Opening at Vandy

 

[Sluconn Husky]

The biggest question is what this would mean for Megan Walker's school choices. She clearly has had a good bond with Ivey.
