Who is the next head coach for women's basketball at NDSU

[Mr Meaty]

Might was well get a new thread started.
Who is the next coach. I know there has been some mentioned in other threads. Mods could maybe move them over to here or people that posted them can repost here.

[MankatoBison]

Amy Ruley, Janelle McCarville, Maya Moore, Simone Agustus, Lindsay Whalen.


Those are all of the names I know in Womens Basketball.

[oldmantutters]

Gino Auriemma. Becky Hammond.

Will be interesting to see the candidates.

National search, open it up and see what kind of applications we get. ML and company need to make the right hire here and get this program back to where it belongs!

I hear Rick Pitino isn't doing much these days, just don't open any new Italian restaurants up there for a while...

[El_Chapo]

Hopkins Girls Coach. Brian Cosgriff 29-0 this year 575-75 in last 13 years. #1 in the state consistently

Huge pipeline to the cities, he works at Cargill IT (Cargill has a plant in west fargo!)

$150k/year and let him keep his $150k/year IT job.

Win Win.

[AKBison]

How much does the Bunnies coach make?

[Mr. Burgundy]

National search
mid major current head coach or high major assistant (just because Maren didn't work out, doesn't mean that isn't the correct career path).

[imabison]

LakesBison

took the words right off my finger tips..or as Director of HR for Athletic program coaching hires

[Bisonator98]

Please no 6 year deal for the next coach. A 3-4 year contract is more then enough time to see results.

[BAT67]

we need to take our time and not just go for a flashy name or program do our homework, look at ability to recruit and coach and be someone we can get behind right away. we as fans also have relize that this is more then a 1 or 2 yr turnaround

[Mr Meaty]

Jan Jensen Associate Head coach at Iowa. Been on staff for 17 years and Associate HC for 14. Recruiting coordinator as well. Coaches post players.

I agree with the bold.
Why would a current HC at a mid major come here?

Like a lot posters I know nothing on potential names, but what about UMD's HC?

[CAS4127]

I liked the description of the coach from a Missouri DII team that someone posted. S/he has watched a few games in person. Who was that? Repost please.

What would be a timeline for the hiring process? How long would the position be advertised, when would interviews begin, etc.

New coach needs be objective and determine current roster viability. I wouldn't commit to any current players, and give them a chance to look for schools to transfer to, or return to their countries. Be honest, none of these players are D1, certainly not D1 starters, for ANY team. New coach needs to have connections with AAU coaches from competitive areas for the country.

What if they ALL left, leaving the team with, essentially, no roster? That would be quite a rebuild.

[NDSUstudent]

High major assistant or lower level head coach...You better find me somebody that can recruit the hell out of this region. Dehoff and Walseth both couldn't recruit, hell Walseth couldn't even recruit this country.

[bisoneer]

Who ever gets the job had better bring some starters or 6th person players with them from a Big D1 school if NDSU is going to compete in a year or 2 because this is what this program needs. Hoping to get a new coach that can recruit the regional talent in the tri or quad state region is not going to happen overnight as these girls (our best talent) are all currently being recruited by USD, SDSU, Iowa, Iowa St., U of Mn., Moorhead St., UMD and UND because they have winning programs. We need some 6' 4" size that have the "do it all skills" if you want to compete in this league.
How does one go about recruiting talent to win at a high level after your program has been so poor for many years? Any example out there? I guess one can google it.

[bajadanny]

I agree 100% need to recruit the region!
Get the best coach available, I don’t care high school, small college, D 2, get a hard nosed grinder.

Hell look across the river

Here is a top 30 list of potentially available head coaches, please send this to ML:

https://highposthoops.com/2018/11/12/top-thirty-up-and-coming-coaches-you-should-know/2/

Look at the ones from Rice, Uconn, Duquesne and U of Alaska, Anchorage.

Tina Langley, Rice head coach- When Langley took the Rice job, the Owls had recorded just one winning season in the previous eight. Now? Year two the team won 22 games, as well as the WBI championship. Last season they won 23 games- the second most in school history- and made it to the second round of the WNIT. She has Power 5 experience- she was the associate head coach at Maryland for seven seasons prior to Rice- and has now proven herself at one of the top academic institutions in the nation. Langley will be getting a lot of phone calls from a lot of ADs, and it’s going to happen soon.

[oldmantutters]

McFeely has a podcast up with Dom Izzo talking about the WBB situation. Izzo confirms none of the Ms Basketball finals sts in the state were even contacted by NDSU. That right there should be grounds for dismissal

What do you think Western's Illinois coach makes? JD Gravina he would have more resourced to work with her than what he has accomplished at Western.

I just finished listening to that and was going to post the same thing but you beat me to it. A couple other things that stood out to me that's been talked about here before. One was the fact that scholarships were not being filled out and this seemed to be a yearly issue, even with Dehoff. Another point was the failed international experiment. I just shake my head at that, knowing that there are players in the tri-state area that weren't even getting contacted by Walseth, and ended up going to other places. Missing out on home town players like the one from Davies. The outrageously high attrition rate. They could have talked for an hour more on this.

Last but not least, proof that McFeely reads Bisonville, he levels some Taco John smack on Brookings. I don't care what anyone thinks, I like that guy. Keep stirring things up Mike!

[BlueKeyAlum]

I think she is a good coach with Texas connections that might not transfer up to the Midwest region. Her top players are the The younger and shorter Ogwumike Sisters (older sisses Nneka and Chiney were all Americans at Stanford) who transferred back to Texas after a year at Pepperdine and another transfer originally from Texas, 6'9" Nancy Mulkey, returned home after one year at Oklahoma.

And again, why leave Rice for. NDSU.

It was just a suggestion from a hotlist of possible available coaches from that report. https://highposthoops.com/2018/11/12/top-thirty-up-and-coming-coaches-you-should-know/2/

My point is that there are coaches out there that can turn programs around in a short time and there are many other top assistants on that list too from other places. And remember, "money talks". How much was the Walseth contract per year? How much was Ruley making back in her days as coach? What is our budget next year for this position?

Not without increasing the budget for mens basketball. Womens basketball is a cash drain. Mens basketball is a revenue sport. Paying a WBB coach more than a mens BB coach is fiscally irresponsible

Women's attendance grew when the WBB game was on the same night as the men. People would get to games early to get seats for the mens game, and the women's game turned out to be pretty darn good too. The men were good, but the women started winning championships.

[HerdBot]

Exception not the rule. And the mens team was terrible when it happened. Ticket prices were very low and bolstered by playoff games. They started counting double header numbers towards women and they were winning D2 National Championships. The odds of winning Division 1 National Championships is .00001%

Investing more into WBB than mens is delusional

Although we need to spend more for both programs to take the next step and WBB has the potential to draw very well

NDSU is a women's Basketball school, or at least it used to be. It is a travesty what happened to the program and even greater travesty that SDSU picked up the reins and ran with it.

[IndyBison]

I had season tickets back then and the crowd thinned after the women's game was done. It has been a long fall from grace for the Bison women's bb team.

I was a student then and I remember one weekend (may have been Bison-Sioux) they played the men's game Friday night and the women's game Saturday to maximize ticket revenue and the women's game was packed. There were plenty of seats the night before for the men's game. They weren't a top team, but they were good and competitive in the conference. I believe they won the conference a couple times in the mid-90s. The women's games were so much fun. They were legit good.

How many D1 players are there in the conference? As bad as we were we still won some D1 games.

[TAILG8R]

Anyone that says NDSU wasn't a women's basketball school wasn't around in the late 80's early 90's. I went to almost every game men's and women's during that time and the women's game was where everyone wanted to be.

How about this gal.

A national Coach of the Year honoree as well as the head coach of the USA Basketball Women's U16 and U17 National Teams, Carla Berube is in her 17th season leading the Jumbos.

Coach Berube guided Tufts into the NCAA "Final Four" in four consecutive seasons (2014-17), including two straight appearances in the national championship game. During her tenure, the team has received 10 NCAA berths overall and has a 30-12 record in those games (.714 winning percentage).

Presented with the Pat Summitt Trophy as the 2015 United States Marine Corps / Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) NCAA Division III National Coach of the Year, Coach Berube's teams have compiled a 356-93 overall record for an outstanding .793 winning percentage that ranks 10th among active coaches in Division III.

In April 2017, Berube was selected head coach of the USA Basketball Women's U16 National Team by the USA Basketball Women's Developmental National Team Committee. She guided the team to a 5-0 record at the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) Americas Championship in Argentina including a 91-46 win over Canada to win the gold medal. That victory qualified Coach Berube and the team for a berth in the 2018 FIBA U17 World Cup, which they won this past summer including a 92-40 victory over France in the final. In December 2017, she was a co-recipients of the USA Basketball Developmental Coach of the Year Award. As a player, she had been a member of the bronze medalist team at the 1994 U.S. Olympic Festival.

Tufts is well established as a national power under Coach Berube. The Jumbos have a 144-16 overall record since the 2013-14 season when they made their first "Final Four" appearance. Berube was the WBCA's NCAA Division III Regional Coach of the Year for three consecutive seasons from 2013-15, and repeated as D3hoops.com Northeast Region Coach of the Year in 2014-15. She was also selected by the WBCA as the New England Coach of the Year for the 2007-08 season, giving her four of those honors overall. The team's final records of 30-3 in 2016-17, 30-3 in 2014-15, 30-3 in 2013-14, 28-4 in 2015-16, 26-4 in 2007-08, 26-5 in 2017-18, 25-3 in 2012-13, 23-7 in 2011-2012, 22-5 in 2008-09 and 21-6 in 2009-10 - all achieved under Coach Berube - are the best win totals in Jumbo history.

In the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC), Coach Berube has guided Tufts to two conference titles and eight league championship games overall. The team has a 47-3 record against league opponents from 2014-18 and an 88-17 record against conference opponents since 2007. Berube is a five-time NESCAC Coach of the Year.

The Jumbos are one of the top defensive teams in the nation each year under Coach Berube. They were sixth nationally in scoring defense last season allowing 48.3 points per game, second nationally in 2017 allowing 43.2 points per game and led the country with a 47.5 mark for 2015-16.

Berube's recruits have been among the nation's best athletically and academically. Tufts was the only team in the country with two players on the 10-member WBCA All-America team in 2017 as Michela North and Melissa Baptista were honored. Baptista repeated as a WBCA All-American last year while current junior Erica DeCandido received an honorable mention All-American award. Current assistant coach Lauren Dillon graduated last year as the Tufts program's all-time leader in assists and steals. North graduated in 2017 as the program's all-time leading scorer and rebounder, as well as a three-time All-American. Academically, North was also a Capital One Academic All-District® Team member in 2017, while guard/forward Hannah Foley was a three-time Capital One Academic All-District® Team member from 2012-15. Three Jumbos were on the NESCAC All-Academic team in 2017-18 for carrying grade point averages of 3.4 or better.

Tufts is also commited to community service under Coach Beurbe. The program has had two Team IMPACT teammates, partnering with the non-profit that works to improve kids’ quality of life and help them experience the camaraderie of collegiate sports. Many team members are also Big Sisters.

A 1997 UConn graduate, Coach Berube was a member of the Huskies' 1995 NCAA Division I national championship team. She played professionally in the American Basketball League before getting into coaching as an assistant at Providence College. She was hired at Tufts in 2002.

Carla and her wife, Meghan, reside in Medford with their son, Parker, and daughter, Brogan.

In April 2017, Berube was selected head coach of the USA Basketball Women's U16 National Team by the USA Basketball Women's Developmental National Team Committee. She guided the team to a 5-0 record at the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) Americas Championship in Argentina including a 91-46 win over Canada to win the gold medal. That victory qualified Coach Berube and the team for a berth in the 2018 FIBA U17 World Cup, which they won this past summer including a 92-40 victory over France in the final. In December 2017, she was a co-recipients of the USA Basketball Developmental Coach of the Year Award. As a player, she had been a member of the bronze medalist team at the 1994 U.S. Olympic Festival.

Tufts is well established as a national power under Coach Berube. The Jumbos have a 144-16 overall record since the 2013-14 season when they made their first "Final Four" appearance. Berube was the WBCA's NCAA Division III Regional Coach of the Year for three consecutive seasons from 2013-15, and repeated as D3hoops.com Northeast Region Coach of the Year in 2014-15. She was also selected by the WBCA as the New England Coach of the Year for the 2007-08 season, giving her four of those honors overall. The team's final records of 30-3 in 2016-17, 30-3 in 2014-15, 30-3 in 2013-14, 28-4 in 2015-16, 26-4 in 2007-08, 26-5 in 2017-18, 25-3 in 2012-13, 23-7 in 2011-2012, 22-5 in 2008-09 and 21-6 in 2009-10 - all achieved under Coach Berube - are the best win totals in Jumbo history.

In the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC), Coach Berube has guided Tufts to two conference titles and eight league championship games overall. The team has a 47-3 record against league opponents from 2014-18 and an 88-17 record against conference opponents since 2007. Berube is a five-time NESCAC Coach of the Year.

The Jumbos are one of the top defensive teams in the nation each year under Coach Berube. They were sixth nationally in scoring defense last season allowing 48.3 points per game, second nationally in 2017 allowing 43.2 points per game and led the country with a 47.5 mark for 2015-16.

Berube's recruits have been among the nation's best athletically and academically. Tufts was the only team in the country with two players on the 10-member WBCA All-America team in 2017 as Michela North and Melissa Baptista were honored. Baptista repeated as a WBCA All-American last year while current junior Erica DeCandido received an honorable mention All-American award. Current assistant coach Lauren Dillon graduated last year as the Tufts program's all-time leader in assists and steals. North graduated in 2017 as the program's all-time leading scorer and rebounder, as well as a three-time All-American. Academically, North was also a Capital One Academic All-District[emoji2400] Team member in 2017, while guard/forward Hannah Foley was a three-time Capital One Academic All-District[emoji2400] Team member from 2012-15. Three Jumbos were on the NESCAC All-Academic team in 2017-18 for carrying grade point averages of 3.4 or better.

Tufts is also commited to community service under Coach Beurbe. The program has had two Team IMPACT teammates, partnering with the non-profit that works to improve kids’ quality of life and help them experience the camaraderie of collegiate sports. Many team members are also Big Sisters.

A 1997 UConn graduate, Coach Berube was a member of the Huskies' 1995 NCAA Division I national championship team. She played professionally in the American Basketball League before getting into coaching as an assistant at Providence College. She was hired at Tufts in 2002.

Carla and her wife, Meghan, reside in Medford with their son, Parker, and daughter, Brogan.

No thank you.

Are you not aware that the great basketball mind of JohnnyExtacy posted that? You know nothing and should bow down to his amazing prowess.

But yes you are correct, to assume and even state that only a man can change this program is absolutely stupid and he should be ashamed of making such a dumb comment on a public forum. But what do I know I am a football fan.

However, can we also agree that we should NOT limit ourselves to a female coach, just because it is a women’s team?

Actually it is easy, unless you want to spend less then the contract stipulates, which is what it sounds like here. Apparently both sides want to move on so it should still get worked out fairly quick and easy and perhaps save NDSU some money.

I'm guessing there was some "preliminary" verbal numbers thrown about between Walseth camp and NDSU that's how the "mutual agreement" came about. They felt numbers were close enough that they can get a deal done. But legally got to dot the Is and cross the Ts so you don't leave an opening as to hey you know what F you I want all my money (or I'm not paying you any money) when they put something on paper. To me sounds like everyone is doing it right in getting this thing "written" so it doesn't come back to haunt anyone. I didn't read anything saying that it couldn't be done but that it isn't as simple as hey we're going to pay you $X of what your last year was worth and put it on paper and it's done. There is more work to it than that. NDSU probably hasn't done this much so they're getting up to speed on this one.

I've been in well over 30 college gyms and the Worst is that dumpster fire of seating in north Fargo.
I caught hell for calling it a "Shithole", but that is exactly what it is.
It's an embarrassment to the university.
I've had people tell me "I'm never going back." and I don't blame them for feeling that way.
I've cut back on my game attendance because of the horrible seating.

At the JR Grand Am last weekend in Grand Forks. Some coaches, referees from the high school division were discussing and made mention that the person most talked is from Minnesota Duluth.

As for the continual El Chapo rant to hire the person from the Cities and we will be able to recruit the cities. It really doesn't work that way with the ladies from what I have seen.

Whereas with the boys football players. The south and davies kids for example, they went to the best program and or offer and didn't care where their buddies was going. Whereas the girls basketball players travel in packs. For example look at the three that are going to UND next fall. they didn't play high school BB together. They played AAU together. They went to camps together. UND (Not NDSU). So just because you are from the cities it doesn't mean you will get cities girls to come to fargo.

[Vet70]

Actually, it could just as easily be the opposite. Sometimes in recruiting really good candidates may be interested but do not want their name mentioned until the end. You really don't know what is going on any more than anyone else.

It has been three weeks since the closing date it is about time for them to do something unless they are waiting for the buyout of Walseth to see what money they have to pay the new coach.

It has been three weeks since the closing date it is about time for them to do something unless they are waiting for the buyout of Walseth to see what money they have to pay the new coach. They need to be more transparent about what the status is even if they don't tell names some sort of update is needed.

The only way updates are going to happen is when posters who want more information start calling the AD. It may not happen then.

If we don't know the names of applicants, do we at least have some idea who is on the selection committee?

[ndsubison1]

Have people backed off because of the dumpster fire this program has become? Quality of candidates may not be as good as they could be? Legitimate questions for a now bad program.

I maybe reaching but this is a great chance for both players and new coaches to make their mark in the world of D1 basketball. Only one way to go and that is up.

I am new here as a poster, but have followed this board for several years. I specifically joined to share some thoughts about your team as it relates to my daughter’s recruitment process. She plays for one of your SL competitors to the south, but was “recruited” by MW and NDSU a few years ago, if you can call it that.... Yes, we did get a call from MW on September 1st of her junior year. But that was it, until the end of May the following year. In between September and May, my daughter got recruited by approximately 50 division 1 schools and had offers from a dozen of them. We had nonstop contact from coaches of all levels at about two dozen schools. We did unofficial visits, home visits, and then official visits at two schools. In the end of May, my daughter got a call from MW. This call lasted about 45 minutes, and at the end of the call there was a scholarship offer. No personal home visit, no “get to know you” phase, nothing. We thought it very strange, and my daughter and I looked at each other and said “I wonder who just said no to them “. Eventually, my daughter told MW no, and MW was very upset that we were choosing one of the schools that we had been talking to for nine months. If this is the way she was treating all potential recruits, it’s no wonder that your team is in the position that it is in right now. You need a coach that can actively recruit girls and make them feel like they are special and that they were chosen. Not to make them feel like a third or fourth choice after everyone else said no.

Thanks for posting. I don’t believe any of this is a surprise to anyone here who has been paying attention to NDSU WBB the last many years.

Also, I would not jump to the conclusion that your daughter was lower on the list of recruits than other players and that the “offer” call came only after others declined; rather, I’d opt that the “recruiting” she experienced from MW was just MW’s terrible/incompetent way of recruiting.

MW was probably the laziest coach in our school's history... in so far as recruiting.... Hence overloaded with low-skilled euro players... How the hell did she recruit them? Hi-lite film? So bogus... anyone can look like Labron in hand selected hi-lites. That is why scouting/recruiting/multiple visits to their schools, phone calls letters.. all important to make the recruit they are the number one choice, even though they may be twentieth on the list. They all need this kind of attention.. But when you have a do nothing coach and incompetent recruiter like MW this is what you get. 40-108 in 5 years. And again her first year was her best, without ANY of her own players.

[mdk23]

Two names I've heard we should be on the lookout for in the finalist pool.
Chuck Love - Assistant at Nebraska (followed Amy Williams there from USD)
Jory Collins - Assistant at Kansas (won a D2 National Championship in 2010 at Emporia State)

I'd be good with either one. Both have histories of success, and both would bring in Midwest recruiting ties.

Wow! Look at Drake go (Allison Pohlman Assistant Head Coach)
27-7 this year, 17-1 MVC.
Wins at Nebraska and South Dakota.

Pohlman is a former Northern Iowa player and assistant coach.
Hmmm, where have I read this script before......



Pohlman was inducted in the UNI Athletics Hall of Fame in the fall of 2011.

The Wellsburg, Iowa native and her husband, Kirk, have triplet daughters, Quinn, Rubie and Sidny. Pohlman holds a bachelor's of science in dietetics and a master's degree in Health Education from UNI.

I'm going to play Devil's Advocate here. Jory is probably the heavy favorite but consider this. He took over an Emporia State squad that had just won a national championship and was already a D2 power. He basically kept the train on the tracks for 7 years before taking the assistant coaching gig at KU. Obviously that is no easy task but it is light years easier then what he will face here. Love has been part of two major rebuilds including one in our own conference and probably has a pretty good idea what kind of an athlete it takes to win in the Summit. His current salary is almost 150k so he obviously doesn't want the job because it's a huge pay raise. There isn't a lot of info on the gal from Drake but hopefully she would be able to recruit well given her experience which would be a huge plus for us. With that said, we have been there done that and it hasn't turned out so well. The other candidate from Denver is DOA.

I think people might be discouraged with how long it takes to bring the program back.Basketball is a different animal, one or two difference makers can turn a team around quickly. I also think outside of the two SD schools the rest of the league is gettable.

This. BB can turn around in a hurry if the coach is at all capable. That's why there is no reason to be giving out 5-6 year contracts. If they can't show improvement in 2-3 years they can be replaced.

Okay, I am a football guy so bear with me (although I have watched more Bison BB this year than in the past 10 combined). There are only 2 Seniors on the team so does the new hire just suck it up and deal with MW's players the best he/she can or are they likely to be replaced if possible?

Thank you for the info. And i believe this proves my point to el chapo. If there are 40 d 1 girls in the cities right now ndsu won’t have a chance with how many? Very few.

Ndsu hiring a coach from the cities probably doesn’t change that since there is are schools from all over already with access and inroads. Breaking into that market to recruit is going to much harder than he thinks. It’s not like football where the gophers don’t offer and the wayzata player comes to the best game around in football.

But you only need 1 or 2 a year, right???:)

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that at least 2 of the candidates are recruiting coordinators. My 2cents is that if the new Head Coach doesn’t have experience in recruiting Minnesota, especially the metro, then make sure you hire an assistant who does have experience/connection to Minnesota.

My point with Lakes, it isn't as easy has he wants to make it sound. "Hire someone from the cities, and we will get TC ladies to come to NDSU". Lakes you should come to the North Tartan AAU tournament end of July. You can stay at your brothers place, games are at Bloomington and Hopkins high schools. There will be 80 to 120 coaches (D1 down to NAIA) there looking at same players. Lindsay Whalen was there last year, Brew from UND, don't recall seeing Maren but wasn't looking for her either. This is a regional tournament. Strong Iowa presence teams from Milwaukee as well. The competition for the top tier young ladies is pretty high and they have options.

As for getting 1 or 2 a year. you would think so. I don't know what the number of Div 1 young ladies in the TC's is. but there are probably more schools looking at them then there are available athletes. Another issue to consider when it comes to high school ladies basketball. For many of them you are competing with Volleyball as well.

A young lady on NDSU team had offers from the east coast for BB. Choose VB. So that limits the pool as well.

[kab1one]

This just makes what the SD schools are doing that much more impressive.

It is. looking at USD and SDSU rosters. Few Twin Cities players. Obviously something was fundamentally wrong at NDSU the last couple of years in that they couldn't get local recruits, but the inability to keep players on the roster was an issue as well. Young lady from Cando leaving, Anna Goodhue (sp?) from Sioux Falls not staying. Not getting interest from the three that signed this year at UND.

i would also offer that the players USD and SDSU get signed are not under the radar like many football players that work out for the football team. Listening to an Omaha radio station one day about the bison FB team. They get players that no one else will see. The lineman from Beach or Annamoose are not on Nebraska or U of M's radar. Small town, far away, bison have first crack at them.

Ladies basketball. I would assume these young ladies are playing a top tier circuit of basketball. One local (fargo team ) is going to Chicago and Denver for tournaments. Alone with full straight of TC tournaments this summer. Another ND program out of bismarck is Going to vegas along with Chicago and cities lineup. So the young ladies in these cases are going to where the coaches can see them. And the South Dakota teams get them. Kudo's to them.

considering she was still part of the current staff it makes sense that she was there for these meetings.
That does not mean she is continuing. However that said its the new coaches decision. Only his name is listed on gobison.com

Was curious as to why you felt this way.
It is not uncommon for a new Head Coach to retain an assistant from the previous staff, especially when not bringing multiple staff members from your current staff. Since Coach Collins was an assistant at Kansas, I assume he won’t be bringing any Jayhawk staff members with. Coach Morgan would bring some continuity for the roster and the incoming recruits. She is from Iowa originally and, I would guess, must have some recruiting experience in Minnesota.

Continuity is what we're trying to avoid...

considering she was still part of the current staff it makes sense that she was there for these meetings.
That does not mean she is continuing. However that said its the new coaches decision. Only his name is listed on gobison.comCorrect, just becuase she was there doesnt mean she will be retained but I personally think it does indicate a better chance.

She was prolly lowest rank on Walseth's staff, still young and learning.

Was curious as to why you felt this way.
It is not uncommon for a new Head Coach to retain an assistant from the previous staff, especially when not bringing multiple staff members from your current staff. Since Coach Collins was an assistant at Kansas, I assume he won’t be bringing any Jayhawk staff members with. Coach Morgan would bring some continuity for the roster and the incoming recruits. She is from Iowa originally and, I would guess, must have some recruiting experience in Minnesota.If only I knew how to post a 'shocked double take' meme...
