Yeah they thought that was the way to go to get their fans acclimated to the "skimpy uniforms" that will be worn by their sand volleyball team next year. They figured after an exhibitionist coach no one would complain about the sand uniforms. Smart move. Always thinking ahead.

Is this a confirmed sighting on campus at ULM or someone just wearing a trenchcoat.

Should I start another chart of inexperienced females who are handed head coaching jobs? The SID had to throw in the fact that she is Brazilian, and since Brazil won the Olympic Gold in 2008 it helps her resume.

I thought about doing so as well, NotMe - but thought Mango would be offended. As far as the Brazilian thing, with what you said, ipsofacto, she's a genius, and will stay at a Holiday Inn Express tonight! She will coach in English and Portuguese...

Doubt that. Maybe a former Tiger trainer?

In terms of ULM, I heard about the person in question earlier (and yes, there are some worthy clues being posted), but I refrained from saying anything because he's a friend of mine. Yes, I said he, which is why I was keeping it quiet. I didn't want to jinx him with all the underqualified females getting head coaching jobs this season. That's right, I said it - bring it mango!

"USA Impact Volleyball Program for increased mastery and professional application of coaching theory" which impresses the heck out of me, because when my IMPACT instructor had us stack cups against his stop watch, I thought it was so we wouldn't fall asleep. But apparently it has something to do with the professional application of coaching theory, and if she can figure out what, she must be brilliant!

I really don't understand what the hang up is over Women getting Head Coaching positions. I mean after all it is to Coach young WOMEN. Don't you think it might be because they can relate to the girls better? Know how to work with girls better? Or maybe because they have been in their shoes before? And how are you suppose to get experience as a HC without being hired as a HC. By the way some of you are talking you would make it seem like there should never be a female hired as a Head Coach. Would you feel better if the female Head Coach had gotten her expirence in DII? I doubt it. Then you would complain about a DII Head Coach getting a DI Head Coach position and would say it must be because she's a female. How many females are Coaching DI Men's Volleyball? Maybe there aren't any because Men can relate to Men better and therefore know how to Coach Men better. I'm not saying only Women should Coach Women but I can't believe that in the 21st Centrury there is still so much sexism going on. Let's just be happy for the new hires and wish them well!

I'm not saying only Women should Coach Women but I can't believe that in the 21st Centrury there is still so much sexism going on. Let's just be happy for the new hires and wish them well! The criticism is not directed at females, but rather at unqualified females getting head coaching jobs. Being an assistant coach for 1 or 2 years does not automatically qualify anyone to be a collegiate head coach. Not to pick on any one person, but look at the press release for St. Andrews hire. Does anything on there impress you at all? does anything scream at you experience? Would you hire that person. I know a couple of more qualified coaches who applied for that position. Some of them are women. They have much more on their resume and are much more qualified for the position than the person they hired. They have actual head coaching experience in successful programs. The sad part about comments like yours which just assume sexism, is that they ignore the real reason behind the decision, and the ultimate implications. The hire is made, because they get that coach cheap. They have no expenses in the job search, and I'm sure they aren't paying that coach much. I'd be willing to guess they are paying less than the former coach. So, the administration puts less work into the hire, and less resources into the program. How is that better for the girls on the team, the program, or the sport in general? The administration is really showing they don't care about the program, and there is another program out there going nowhere. Of course we wish them luck. And that is what they will need, lots of luck. And while we really do hope the program does well, it still ignores the underlying issue. There are many qualified, successful coaches out there who deserve a shot at a college job, but won't get it because of their age, gender, or both.

Not me: good post...
Additionally if the goal is to have more women coaching...then they need to be ready when there time comes to be a head coach. Currently too many you women are getting jobs before they have had the necessary experience and then do not succeed, lose confidence and end up out of coaching.

Talk to most women who play and they would rather play for a man...that being said the worst thing to happen to female coaches is to hire an inexperienced unready coach, and then the myth of bad coaching from females perpetuates...

I agree that the focus needs to be on why certain Coaches are being hired and not on their sex. I am sure we would all be just as curious if an inexperienced male was hired. So with that being said we should leave the "because she's female" out of the comments then.
