WBB: American Southwest Conference

This is a great hiring!

Dr. Veronica Snow!

She is more than the women's basketball coach!  She strengthens the entire athletic department.

You are right; she is a wonderful selection and a terrific fit to a great program.  The team will only get better in the coming year. 

We were glad to mentor her for a few years at HSU!  Always trying to be a blessing to the crosstown competition!

I graciously accept your blessing for sending Dr Snow back across town.  Our sending Sonya West over to help you get to the Final Four in 2006 is just another example of the crosstown cooperation that exists.

ETBU Coach Lisa Taylor has taken the job at the University of Missouri at Saint Louis, a D2 program.  She walks away from a talented bunch.  Whoever inherits this team will have a great chance to do well.

From the Brownwood Bulletin:

Lady Horn Casey Tyson headed to McMurry

"Early senior Casey Tyson (right), pictured along with Lady Horns head coach Naidene Tiemann, recently signed a national letter of intent to play basketball for McMurry University. Tyson, an all-region selection by the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches, was the leading scorer for the Lady Horns, who advanced to the second round of the UIL Class 2A playoffs this past season."

I hope she didn't. Use of an NLI is prohibited in Division III.

I think when they register for school, and verbally commit to play basketball sometimes the paper, makes it out like a "signing". The local papers like to build these programs up.  Their schools also sometimes report to the newspapers, and the information is not NCAA polictically correct, but I'm sure McM is doing by the book.

[Pat Coleman]

No doubt. Just figured it was time for my annual reminder.

Betcha (Coach?) or (Dr?) Snow has it under control. Ha! Trying for a little stir up? It is a boring time right now. I'm just glad to hear any news at this point.

[Josh Bowerman]

Naah, just trying to be pithy.   

I went to grad school with Veronica--she always struck me as a pretty straight shooter.

Best to her!

(She'll be coaching for a program that competes in the same conference as UW-Parkside, out of Kenosha, WI, a relative stone's throw south of this poster.)

We also offered her a full scholarship, is that bad? 

[Pat Coleman]

HAH!

With all the hullabaloo earlier in the year, I'm somewhat surprised no one has posted this before.  So here goes--LC hires new women's head hoops coach:

I didn't realize Potera-Haskins had even left, honestly.

[Ralph Turner]

I hadn't either.

Wow, first impressions are that LC got a good one!.

Coach Joseph-Richard (isn't that a Louisiana-sounding last name) must have needed to move home to family.  She is a 1986 LC grad.
