Bluder retiring
- Thread starter St. Louis Hawk
- Start date
Don't read this too close. 
Makes sense, she isn’t getting another Clark and this is the best time to call it a career.
Go out on top. Smart enough to realize making it to back to back championship games on the back of one player has raised her bar of expectation......especially in light of the underperformance of mens BB and football.
Yep, ever since BF left that has been the case.
Well deserved retirement; and well deserved promotion. I don't think we skip a beat when it comes to coaching.
Hopefully the portal and recruits knew about this.

Wise decision. Go out at your apex. It would be all downhill from here and she doesn’t need the money unless she is a fool.
Yes. I'm hoping they all knew it was in the works and were okay with it.
As happy as I am for Bluder and Jensen, a 30 day portal window worries me. Especially key pieces.
Guyton posted a tweet, then deleted it quick, saying she was blindsided by this. That Bluder told her during the recruiting process that she wasn’t close to retirement.
how the F was Jensen lucky enough to pull in the @goiowa twitter handle?
Coaches change jobs all the time. Nobody should ever be "blindsided"
I wonder how long ago Goetz, Bluder, and Jensen broached this subject? Clearly Bluder has thought about this for a few years, and I think upon reflection with her husband they decided now was a good time to go out and enjoy a richly deserved retirement.
As I posted in the Lounge, we were lucky to have her for as long as we did.

Technically it was AJ, her dad, that tweeted it. Not sure if she knew more than what he did
I gotta admit, I'm stunned but not surprised if that makes sense. I thought she was going to stick around a while longer.
I am very proud of her accomplishments. I've told this story before here, but I knew her pretty well when she first went to UNI...she worked a couple summers with me at a restaurant in CR. Actually played hoops with her a few times, she'd join in with a handful of guys we worked with.
Nice girl then, nice lady now - and one hell of a career. She will be missed.

Gotta love it when someone is willing and able to go out on top and not drag the career out too far and tarnish the legacy.
After the NC last year when CC22 said her last year was her last and she was going pro....
How old are you? Me that I can remember:
FB - Commings, Fry, Ferentz
MBB- Lute, George, TD, Alford, Coach who shall not be named. FMcC
WBB- Viv, Lee, Lisa (probably missing one)
Wrestling- Gary K, Gable, Zalesky, TnT
Others are older here and probably remember other coaches. 24 years is a long time, Iowa has had a bunch of coaches with longevity.
Yes. JJ was Bluder's lead recruiter and C/F coach.
One of the best post coaches in the game. Great recruiter.
I hope that she is going out on top and not for health reasons. I wish her the best.
