Very nice post. Thank you for writing this!

An equally interesting issue is the matter of retention — hopefully the black female coaches hired (e.g. Tia Jackson) get the time to build a program and prove that they can succeed…

As a Huskies fan, I am so proud to see Jamelle and Tonya head out to coach their own teams. And I’ll bust my buttons if I ever see one of their teams take down UConn.

Jamelle’s a warrior. If you’re aware of her playing days, Geno couldn’t say enough good things about how hard she worked.

While only time will tell how good she’ll be, his words yesterday speak volumes:

“She is more than ready to take on this challenge. There isn’t an aspect of this job that she isn’t prepared for. The kids will love her and the fans will love how hard her kids will work and the style of play…I don’t know that I’ve been around a better coach.”

She’ll make the most of the opportunity.

Out of prison, Marion Jones is, belatedly, speaking up on behalf of her African-American sisters in sports.

Marion Jones, Role Model? The disgraced Olympian is back on the public speaking circuit. But what she’s asking forgiveness for now has nothing to do with her prison stint.
