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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Why is everyone saying Rizzotti? Cause she is a former player... after seeing her GW gig... I would say no thanks to that.
It doesn't matter anyway since she doesn't qualify...

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