OU women's basketball: Oklahoma hires Jackie Stiles for assistant coach position

Here's a great read about Jackie. We'll worth the time to check it out.

Searching for Stiles

“When I was in second grade,” Stiles says, “I told my teacher I’d play professional basketball. At the time, there WAS no professional basketball for women in America, but I didn’t know that, and I didn’t care. I knew that was what I was going to do. Whatever it took.”

NOBODY outworked Jackie Stiles when she was a player. Her compulsive workout routine of shooting thousands of shots every day literally wore her body out. I’d never heard of that happening to someone so young until it happened to her. But dang, was she ever a deadly shooter! I’ll never forget watching her play.

Would also like to see Haily Van Lith head to Waco but that's probably a pipe dream. Van Lith reminds me of a young Kim Mulkey in her playing days at La Tech.

SHERYL SWOOPES

from Kris Gardner at Houston Roundball Review

"Sources tell me Sheryl Swoopes is interested in being the next women's basketball head coach at Texas Southern University. The job became available earlier this week when former Texas Southern head coach, Johnetta Havesi, resigned to become the new head coach at the University of Maryland Baltimore County.

Swoopes is no stranger to the city of Houston. After winning an NCAA title at Texas Tech, Swoopes was part of four WNBA championships with the Houston Comets. She Swoopes was head coach at Loyola University in Chicago from 2013 to 2016. In 2017, Texas Tech hired her as Director of Player Development for women's basketball. In December 2018, CyFair Premier, a prominent girls' basketball grassroots / AAU program, named Swoopes the Director of Player Development and Recruiting.

Texas Southern is conducting a nation-wide search for the next women's basketball head coach."

With all of these folks transferring that are not grad transfers, it would be interesting to see how many have to sit out next year vs how many got an exception and why.

I believe with the new rules they passed this will be more transparent and less confusing. I’m not sure if they go into effect for this season or next. But essentially, with the new rule, unless your coach was fired in the summer after the last season you have to sit out. If your coach was fired or left you are free to transfer without sitting out, without a waiver. Sounds to me like they’re planning on just not doing waivers anymore.

2019 and 6' 1" . Playing in a proleague w/o pay for 2 seasons.



While I am at it, did anyone post news about 2020 guard 5'10" or 11 Nika Muhl of Croatia? Was in Florida last month for the NBA No Borders camp, so she's view quite highly. She committed to UConn shortly after they lost in the Semi's.
