You can look at anyone's stats when you click on their name.  Yours, when clicked, says that you post approximately 27 posts a day.  Not to mention, you came out and represented Cuonzo when it got heated.  You were quite the staunch defender of him.

All the time.  I've witnessed 1 or 2, especially the debate about poverty.

Yes absolutely. But not as much as those who are averaging 28 posts per day....with 22 of those 28 about why Cuonzo Martin should be our coach 

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

Geno Auriema has some assistants on his staff who are also former players from UConn championship teams.  Some good pedigree.  One of Geno's former players & assistant coaches, has coached at University of Hartford about the same length of time as Terri and in that time frame has had only 1 losing season and has gone to the NCAAs 6 times plus a few WNITs.  And UHart has less than half the facilities MU could offer.

[Silkk the Shaka]

Did your friend follow her to MU to play for the Warriors?  Mine did.

No, she played D1 in the MAAC though so she was pretty good.

If hiring decisions were made based on online biographies, I'd hire her. http://www.hartfordhawks.com/coaches.aspx?rc=466&path=wbball

Italian and has an Irish husband, so a fair assumption that they are Catholic, too. But she's from Connecticut, would she want to move to MKE?

Missed in all this, Coach Mitchell served our university for 23 years.  Is the all time winningest coach, over 300 wins in 18 years.  Very fine person.  Wishing her only the best

Geno Auriema has some assistants on his staff who are also former players from UConn championship teams.  Some good pedigree.  One of Geno's former players & assistant coaches, has coached at University of Hartford about the same length of time as Terri and in that time frame has had only 1 losing season and has gone to the NCAAs 6 times plus a few WNITs.  And UHart has less than half the facilities MU could offer.

Rizotti has been at Hartford about 14 years and graduated from UCONN in 1996 - the same year Terri became head coach at Marquette.  Her success has fallen off a bit at Hartford lately and I don't think she'd want to leave that area anyway.

The only assistant on Geno's staff now that is a former UCONN player is Shea Ralph.  Long time assistant Chris Daley played at Rutgers and she hasn't seemed interested in head coaching jobs in the past.  

One interesting name I saw pop up on a messageboard is former Notre Dame player Niele Ivey - she's been an assistant at her alma mater for a little while now and ND has been super successful the last few years.

She's a fantastic person. Loved the couple of opportunities I had to speak with her. I wish her all the best.

She did get a bobblehead a few years back. So she pretty much accomplished everything anyone would set out to do in a basketball career.

[mujivitz06]

Actually this is absolutely true. It's well known that the UWGB job is one of the lowest paying D-1 jobs at about 140,000. Terri made like 450,000.

Well except win the NCAA tournament consistently.

as I posted yesterday
"The team just produced a HM All American and has a really strong JR class coming back to lead as seniors. I would guess that if next year is not successful (at least 1 NCAA win) they might consider finding a new coach. Mitchell is great as a leader and person but since we have been in the Big East (9 Seasons) here are her results
2 NCAA 2nd rounds (2-2 record overall)
1 WNIT Championship
1 WNIT runner up
3 WNIT 2nd rounds
1 WNIT 1st round
2 No Postseason
Only having "successful" seasons half the time is a bit of a letdown and making the NCAA's only twice is not good, especially after they went the first 4 years in a row when she was hired"
Obviously they want some positive movement with a good class and new coach
