WBB: Landmark Conference

[Tim the Enchanter]

I'm thinking that when Trevor was hired as Scranton's WBB that he was Miseri's MBB HC, had never coached women, and probably never would have thought of applying for the Scranton women's position unless his former AD broached the possibility. But I could be wrong.

As Saratoga pointed out, this statement couldn't be more wrong.

It could be more wrong.  Ronk could have said he was Marywood's Assistant coach and had coached women all his life.

Gordon:
She's doing a great job there & looks to be set for the foreseeable future.

Regarding Trevor & Dave...I read an article when they first both came on board that Trevor made the decision to apply for the women's opening before he knew Dave had landed the AD job.
Still say an AD contacting a coach at another school without going through that schools AD is committing a self inflicted wound.
Want to become persona non grata among other AD's, try this & see how well it goes over.

Was this article in some Scranton Hoops insider magazine I am not aware of?

 Another question re the Scranton BB coaching changes:
May Kaitlyn Lewis @ Lehigh or Ryan @ PS-Abington recruit for their new schools anyone they were recruiting for Scranton? By the same token, this would apply to the new Scranton coaching hires.

NEPA:
Nothing nefarious or secretive.
I suggest you refer to the article written by Derek Leverse of the Dallas Post (Pa.) dated August 27, 2015.

They may. Whether they will or not likely depends on their own ethical code. Also, many recruits connect more with a coach than a school and might want to move. I don't know how much crossover Abington has with Scranton in terms of student profile. Does it even make sense to recruit the same kids?

That would be a different statement.

I would think the AD looking for a coach would need to receive written permission from the school AD with the coach being sought that a conversation could be held.
Otherwise, I see this as tampering as well as a sure way to get yourself & school blacklisted.

I see my search for the person most unfamiliar with the D3 coaching search process has ended here in the Landmark Conference WBB room...

Next on my list: finding a person who actually pours milk into his bowl FIRST, then adds cereal. I'm told they exist, but it's got to be an urban myth.

I have alot more names to pull out but one that might be interesting is Head Coach Michael Coppolino from George fox.Originally Head coach at Mt St Mary's D3 turned that program completely around and went totally from the East Coast to the West Coast.Maybe he makes that jump again im just throwing great coaches at the Lady Royals lol.I have about another 20.

Itsnot:
I think your search needs to continue a bit longer.
With over 20 years coaching experience on the D3 & D2 level, I've been around a few coaching changes within the department & I've worked for some of the best AD's in the business including the National AD of the year.
While contacting a coach at another school may not technically be against any NCAA rule, doing so without first contacting a schools AD is unethical & that's how I know the people I worked with would handle this situation.
Then again, that's just me...you be you.
Classic... 52 smites in just 89 posts is pretty impressive.

I'm going to pour milk in my cereal first the next time I eat it.

Who knows what wonders await!

[NEPAFAN]

Any rumors from Linden Street?

[saratoga]

The construction of the football stadium is beautiful & well ahead of schedule.

One thing I will say hopefully the next Head  Coach has been out recruiting and has an idea for recruits.One thing I didn't like is Dipillo leaving the cupboard bare - with his recruiting this year!

[Augie2020]

Well if I am reading in between the lines I think the next Head Coach for the Lady Royals will be Meredith Mesaris.Looked up Dartmouth no longer assistant on that team.I noticed ex assistant Sheila Cook said on June 24th it was nice catching up with former player Meredith Mesaris but called her Coach.So maybe I'm reading into to much but I think she will be next Head Coach at Scranton!It is only a guess but sometimes you read between the lines!

[gordonmann]

High quality sleuthing right there.

I forgot that Mesaris was on Shible's staff at Dartmouth.
