Dean Lockwood Named Associate Head Women’s Basketball Coach at Michigan State - Michigan State University Athletics
Dean’s opportunity was made possible by an interesting sequence of falling dominoes:
1). Warlick and her assistants (including Lockwood) were fired;
2). Kellie Harper was selected to replace Warlick at Tennessee.
3). Amaka Agugua-Hamilton, Assistant Coach at Michigan State, was selected to replace Harper at Missouri State.
4). Lockwood, a Michigan native, was selected to replace Agugua-Hamilton at Michigan State.
She said she wants a recruiting whiz for her final spot. Here's an idea: Why not Holly Warlick? For all her reputed shortcomings, she's highly regarded as a recruiter!That's quite the little circle there. Never was wowed by him based on what I've read/heard. Hoping Kellie nabs someone solid for the final assistant spot.

What was his role under Holly? I don’t know much about him at all, but the consensus view that the Lady Vols were underachievers isn’t a particularly strong endorsement.That's quite the little circle there.

He had been there since 2004. He coached the post players.What was his role under Holly? I don’t know much about him at all, but the consensus view that the Lady Vols were underachievers isn’t a particularly strong endorsement.

Graves came out swinging her freshman year and I kept waiting for her to get better, but it didn’t happen. I was never impressed with Russell.Never was super impressed by post development under him with the exception of Harrison. The last highly rated bigs under him were Graves and Russell who both couldve been much better than they showed at UT. This last year both KK and Green were horrendous at finishing inside too. Would rather take a chance on a new coach.

Russell had some medical issue (foot?) that slowed her development early. But, honestly, I thought she could be much better if the guards would only pass to her. Granted, she didn’t fight for good position but, still, she occasionally showed some impressive movesSame. Graves had a better freshman campaign than Stewart most of the year and just never got better. Should've been an All American.
Russell had moments but was never a dominant back to the basket post like she couldve been. Also should've been much better.
I think one thing that hurt Russell. Was when the team wasn't hitting outside shots. That caused the defense to sag inside.Russell had some medical issue (foot?) that slowed her development early.
