Maybe that was the case but seems I remembered from either missoulian or gogriz.com, she quit to spend more time in school. I would have to go through a lot of archived stories to find why she quit but I do not feel like it and don't have the time. But, that could all be a lie.
moneyball is awfull quiet today.

If she does that, I think she stays.

It's really no secret that this is a "put up or shut up" year for Shannon as head coach. As the men's team has been rising under Travis, the Lady Griz have been stagnant under Shannon and for a program with a great history prior to her promotion as HC. I will say that one positive under her tutelage is the tempo of the team has picked up and is much faster than during the Selvig years. If she isn't retained after this coming season then I hope whomever her successor may be will maintain a higher tempo attack offensively and defensively.Gaeilge1 said:
If the rumored hire does in fact happen, this is a good hire.
The issues within the program, much like that of the football program aren't binary choices. As in if one event happens, it must be because of something else. I would suggest that like the football program there are chronic issues that hiring a good coach can overcome, and others might take more time.
I am a big advocate of tempo but if you can't be efficient both offensively and defensively, it doesn't matter. One of my functional complaints is this team has been abjectly terrible over the past three years in offensive efficiency and only moderately better defensively. That may be injury related, but some of it isn't.
This team over the past three years hasn't been the most athletic team and have been broken down by injuries that can't be argued away by bad luck. They have played a host of teams that blow the doors off them athletically and in the third and fourth quarters. I think there are some reasons that have been alluded to here over the past few months, and I don't think those types of issues are easily resolved. To me that isn't talent, but larger issues that might extend well beyond simply who isn't on the floor.
Just as Bobby found last year, chronic issues don't disappear with a coaching philosophy change. Some of the issues stem from 3-5-10 year philosophies that have put the womens program at a clear disadvantage. The coaching hire might help culture and game management, there are just a few things that you won't see over the short-term.

Confirmed thru a media friend of mine: Nate is the new assistant for the Ladies. Welcome home Nate and Angie!

You are right, I remember the long time for the installation of the new backboard just as well as Nate's dunk. In the Griz game before, the Arizona Gorilla performed and made some monster slams. I have always suspected that the Gorilla made the initial cracks in the backboard that weekend the board for Nate's heroics.
I heard he has two stud daughters who play hoops and are tall. Are they high schoolers? Guessing one of the local high school coaches just hit the jackpot if so.

Covill has two daughters, the oldest of whom played on the West Salem H. S. (16-11) team this season. Both played for the Salem Oregon Elite AAU basketball club this summer. (It appears that Covill coached one of the teams.)
• Austynn Covill, a 6-1 junior SF, class of 2021.
• Alex Covill, a 6-3 SF incoming freshman, class of 2023.
