BREAKING: Lisa Bluder announces retirement
- Thread starter squeezebox
- Start date
Yeah, a transfer could occur and then maybe not. A decommitment is more likely but then maybe not. lol
Mallegni just posted about Jan to her IG story. I think it’s safe to say she’s not going anywhere. Really would like to see something similar from Heiden, Deal, Olsen and Guyton.
Houston, O’Grady, and Johnson posting about Jensen. Check check check.
This is really weak, but wanted to put it out there anyway. Poster on another site said Olsen and Dauda have quit following each other on Insta. FWIW. I'm not on Instagram, so can't really investigate myself.
She said that she asked Bluder straight up how long she would be here and she was shocked with the announcement.
Silly comparison. The women HAD someone training for the role and was assoc. Head coach for the last 20 years, ON staff. Who was taking the OC job currently on staff? Exactly......
Again, when was the last time we had someone on staff as associate Head coach for the last 20 years? Correct, never! I mean there is NO way that Jan wasn't going to be at least offered the job. That should be pretty clear.....
Probably not the outrage for a womens program that it would be for football
Not to argue, but this one was a no brainer. I mean really after 20 years as assoc. HC they had to at least offer Jan the job especially with a strong class coming in and the nations 2nd leading returning scorer transferring in..
Martin. Don't see Clark as a coach. VERY few truly great players make good coaches. Their expectation is just too far out to ever be satisfied by anyone with lesser gifts.....
Again, silly comment. What does one have to do with the other? Jan has been Assoc. Head coach for 20 years. Thats Head coach in waiting. What does that have to do with Iowa football hires?
Not even enough time to down load “Flight Checker”…..
Deal has shared Bluder’s retirement and Jan’s hiring on her instagram story.
I get, and agree with the premise of your argument, but some serious hyperbole here.
And this is just the US….

Maybe Dauda crossed Iowa off her potential destinations...as long as Olsen sticks with her commitment I'm ok with it.
I would never put Alford in that class. Just IMHO. He was a great shooter, and pretty good player. I was talking more generational type athletes who transcend the sport. The first name players. Michael, The Great One, Magic. I put Clark in this light. The frustration she has with team mates who simply can NOT see the game at the speed and depth that she does, would make it very hard for her to coach players.
TDJ7, you are mistaken.
The full text of the tweet:
While Iowa WBB fans are happy about the Jan Jensen hire, many wondered why the job wasn't posted for the requisite 14 days by the UI.
Just received the reasoning from Hawkeye athletics, led by AD Beth Goetz. Their official response:
"The Athletics Department requested and received approval for a waiver from the standard recruitment and job posting process to hire Jan Jensen into the P. Sue Beckwith, MD Head Women’s Basketball Coach position. With appropriate justification, a waiver of the search process may be granted upon review and approval by the University Human Resources Compensation and Classification unit and the University Office of Institutional Equity."
Nice. The fact that she has been the associate head coach for 20 years should allow common sense to prevail and waive the 14 day wait. It's just lip service to wait anyway, when you have your coach picked
