Coming and Going of Coaches

There has been many chances to BW coaching staffs since the end of the 08-09 season.

Cal Poly.

Of coure, Clueless AD, Alison Cone allowed Faith Mimnaugh to stay on as head coach. Even after Faith already produced excuses for possible failure for the 09-10 season.

I love this part of the story: Mimnaugh said she doesn’t expect to have to duplicate the results of this past season — when her team tied the program record for wins and advanced to the finals of the Big West Conference Tournament — in order to be rewarded with a contract extension.

Here is another story where Faith makes more excuses about why it took so long for her to have a winning season.

Love this excuse by Faith: "Cal Poly, because of the integrity of the university and the academic excellence, it's taken longer to build this house," Mimnaugh said, "but we've done it the right way. We haven't brought in trash people, we graduate all of our kids and we play team basketball. "It's a nice strong house, and it's just taken longer."

Um, Clueless Faith, UCR has higher academic standards than CP and it didn't take John Margaritis 11 years before having a winning record. None of his kids got into trouble. He also didn't have a Hostess non conference schedule.

Great to see Cal Poly setting the bar high for the BW.

Shandrika Lee left to become an assistant at Army.

Faith hired former Cal player, Kristin Iwanaga as Lee's replacement.

Cal State Fullerton:

Marica Foster hired former UCR standout, Crystal Harris as assistant coach to complete her first coaching staff at CSF.

Cal State Northridge:

Of course CSN AD, Rick Mazzuto kept Staci Schulz, spinning her 08-09 record as one of the best turnaround seasons in the NCAA. Well, hell, when you win ONE damn game, you can only go up.

Abby Vaughn left CSN for Loyola of Maryland.

Staci Schulz hired former Hawaii and Long Beach St. assistant Pat Charity to replace Coach Vaughn. Charity was also head coach at Western Michigan. Charity is the only former D-1 head coach, working as an assistant coach in the Big West. This is a very good hire, as CSN gets a coach with over 25 years of D-1 experience.

An interesting note: Pat Charity was an assistant at Hawaii last season, when head coach Jim The JERK Bolla, kicked a player in practice!!! Of course the jerk was fired.

Here is the interesting part, Staci Schulz was an assistant at UNLV, when a coach attacked a player during practice. Schulz was NOT the coach who attacked the player. I believe the coach who did attack the player was placed on leave and didn't return to UNLV the year after. I think that coach moved onto San Jose St. How anybody can hire a coach who attacked a player, is beyond me.

What are the chances of two coaches being on the same staff, that witnessed another coach striking a player?

Long Beach St.

Jody Wynn filled out her first coaching staff at Long Beach St., with Derek Wynn, Jeffrey Cammon and Laura Freimuth.

UCI

Audi Spencer left UCI to continue her basketball career overseas. As of today, no replacement has been annouced.

Molly Goodenbour should make something right and hire former UCI assistant Chris Ellis. Ellis was the coach in charge of the program, after former head coach, Molly Tuter, resigned. He kept the team together and how was he rewarded? But not being offered a job with the new coaching staff. If any coaches are looking for a good quality assistant coach, Chris Ellis would be a great choice.

UCSB

Selena Ho a former All BW player at UOP and an Oregon assistant coach, has replaced Evan Unrau, as an assistant coach at UCSB.

For you slow people and Cal State Long Beach graduates, sorry samething, if a BW school wasn't listed that means there was no changes to their coaching staff.
