I do believe he means this one Marv.

Wondered this as well. Just don't think Martin as much time left in the W in my opinion. If she wants to get into coaching this would be a win win for both her and Iowa.

A woman who likes women could be a great recruiter.

hmm, crazy. I just brought her bio up. idk.
Hope it's on good terms, but maybe she wanted a promotion. Maybe she has an opportunity?

Maybe Raina and Tania are going to the same location. If I were a new head coach, I would want people I knew well, around me.

Pretty funny..

If you click on my link to the women's coaching staff it is absent one Tania Davis but already added the new hire. Ergo -> Tania Davis is gone, baby, gone.

Does GT have a PG that was close to Barrett?

Admit it,... that thought popped into your head too.

Ya i went looked she's definitely not on their. I wonder if they would look at adding byus former coach.

I remember jan talking about recruiting her kid and maybe talking about her as a coach.

Her kid played good against us and was a highly touted recruit.

Idk just throwing it out their.

Tania was player development coach which is normally entry level on a staff with no off site recruiting. Raina was paid 180,000 last year Stamp 170,000, Henderson 165,000, & Sullivan 135,000 while Tania's salary was 85,000. Davis could have already decided to move on before the new hire was made or maybe it was a reaction to not getting an official "assistant" position.

After games the team would gather in a circle both on the court and sometimes in the locker room. We could observe that Coach Tania would get in the middle of the team and dance/bounce around and the team would push her to the middle of the circle. This was celebratory. However, I always wondered how much the team members respected her. It was obvious they liked her.
Mature coaches are never seen in that type of regular activity. It is the wrong message.

I think it is good that she has moved on and can reset her career.

As a player i would of loved it.

But I'm sure we'll get some good to replace her. Wish her the best and hope Raina takes her buddy in

Poor take. There is no one size fits all for commanding respect. Plenty of successful coaches take a "one of the guys approach." Pete Carroll, Joe Maddon, Dan Campbell, and Steve Kerr come immediately to mind.

Swing and a miss.

Tania was a great, tough player who would delight and surprise with key 3s just when needed them —and undersized at that. Her play, toughness and talent earned her respect. Not everyone can coach; Tania is clearly committed to it. Wish her the best, tho will miss her energy!

I suspect it was bad timing, Jan needs a big time recruiter, Tania was ready ready to move up, but maybe not yet ready for that specific role. I suspect Raina can bring her in as an assistent coach. Frees up room for Syd as a player development coach.

I really apologize profusely because I can’t say much but let’s put it this way - Raina and Tania are burning bridges. Petty middle school behavior. I will be surprised if Tania isn’t joining Raina. Take it for what it’s worth.

What’d they do get Harpring to commit to FGCU?

what do you mean by this?

 

[Rocket_Fran]

I will say, it was pretty lame on her part to put up that tweet about it being a good summer, getting us all excited like we found a 100 dollar bill on the ground, but it was covered in manure. Lame indeed.

I genuinely hope it's the "no we aren't interviewing we promise", using iowa's $$ to begin recruiting for their next gig before they told anyone, or something along those lines of middle school and not something more impactful recruiting-wise.

I’m not too concerned Iowa is going to lose recruits to FGCU. My guess is Jan knew Raina was interviewing and likely gone. I’m guessing Jan had a short list of potential assistants. I don’t think she could do any better than Barrett. Tania wants to be a full assistant and that was not happening at Iowa next season, so she is moving on.

I’ve seen nothing posted by either one in Instagram that could be considered “burning bridges.”

Yeah, the fact that Raina came back for Iowa WBB end of year banquet indicates she's still a Hawk.
