Sharrona Reaves

[FormerLadyVolFan]

Hopefully the new coach will opt to keep Sharrona Reaves, the assistant that brought in most of the recruits in the last three years.

 

[ocoandasoc]

She is the one person I would keep. But she'll get offers from other schools and have her pick if her and the new LV coach are not compatible.

 

[FormerLadyVolFan]

If it’s Walz, apparently his top assistant is leaving to take the head coaching job at Eastern Kentucky..

You have to start your head coaching career somewhere I think Jeff Walz will be Tennessee head coach by sometime next week

I would say after Louisville loses or win it all and out guys do the same!!

Wouldn't surprise me. Things sure trending that way. Interesting days ahead.

 

[ksl415]

What will happen with the rest of the assistant coaches?

 

[volfanIND]

Nobody is talking about Dean Lockwood. He is only 59. Phil has put him in charge at the moment until a head coach is found. He may throw his name in the ring? Sharronna could stay if he is named. Sharronna has proven herself as an elite recruiter, OP is right, she can go anywhere at this point. Waltz is a good recruiter I believe, the only downfall to his recruiting has been Louisville itself. The city is a large crack house. Literally. Place him in a more desireable scenery city and that will help. I'm just really surprised nobody is mentioning Dean as a possible candidate.

 

[gule]

If Dean was worth a damn, the team would not have been as bad already. A good assistant makes a program improve not degrade.

 

[gule]

He coached the #1 recruit in the country into being a timid non rebounding shell of the girl she was in hs and this years posts were probably his worst ever.

 

[Volfan2012]

Nobody is talking about Dean Lockwood because there is nothing to talk about. No way he gets the job and he might be out of a job as an Assistant.

 

[FrozenLVFan]

Dean Lockwood? Because the last elevation of a long-time AC to the HC position worked so well?

I normally don’t respond to idiotic comments, but this one is too idiotic to let pass.

I’ve lived in Louisville over 25 years, and your comment shows that you know nothing about this amazing city. Let me give you just a few points:
- Named #1 food town in North America by Conde Nast
- Named Best Place to Retire
- Named “City of Parks” - including the multi-year project to acquire and build continuous green space completely surrounding the city
- Named by Trip Advisor as one of "Top Cities to Visit in 2019”
- CNBC names Louisville to its list of "Top Cities" with the happiest workers.
-Livability ranks Louisville No. 28 on its list of "2019 Top 100 Best Places to Live"
- SmartAsset names Louisville a "Top City for New College Grads”
- Governing magazine recognizes Louisville as the "Top Performer" in its Equipt to Innovate Report
- SmartAsset ranks Louisville a "Top City" for women in technology
- VinePair ranks Louisville in its list of the "World's Top 10 Beer Destinations for 2018"
- More art, theatre, music than I can name (takes multiple pages of small type to list everything happening in a given weekend)
- Amazing resaurants everywhere
- 21C named best hotel in United States
- Waterfront Park

I could go on, but you get the idea. Louisville is a great city, and a great place to raise a family. Plus, our cost of living is below the national average.

Come visit. Take the Urban Bourbon tour. Visit the Louisville Slugger museum. Eat at one of our local-not-a-chain restaurants. I think you’ll see that your characterization is wildly off the mark.

I’m really glad you posted this. We visited Louisville a couple of years ago when the LVs were playing in the NCAAT. We quite enjoyed the city - found it to be a really cool place with a lot of great restaurants and nightlife. I had the best shrimp and grits I’ve ever eaten at Doc Crow’s. We hope to make it back some day!

Yeah I love the city of Louisville.... how is the Louisville slugger museum.... I will be going to Louisville in May or June.

Dean will not get the job and maybe only Reaves stays. I would not be surprised if Dean lands somewhere with the university anyway. JMHO as always!

 

[volfanIND]

Nowhere did I advocate for Dean to be considered, I just pointed out I'm surprised that nobody has stated his name. If they are going to throw people who have no head coaching experience (Lawson, Hammons), why not throw him in too? I have been to Louisville many many times as I live in Indianapolis. It's my opinion. Driving down i-65 in the heart of the city it's all brown buildings, a large brown river, and run down houses. I'm sure it has some 'nice' areas. The AAA stadium is nice and so is the museum. Outside of a few of those, I'm not a fan of the city. Don't get so butt hurt over comments ...

i like dean but he has to go, too

Sharrona Reaves needs to be given a $50,000 pay raise and signed for 5 years or more. She brings them, now we need a coach of Barnes ability to improve them.

I have not kept up with the Lady Vols as much in recent years, but that is one peson that has stood out to me. Based on what little I know, I couldn't agree more.

We had family in Louisville. In fact one was a professor at UofL. I loved visiting the city, especially downtown, the Riverfront and the Highlands areas. The only area I would be a little concerned to walk at night would be the Churchill Downs area.

Two idiotic comments in one post is quite an achievement, one promoting Dean Lockwood for coach and the other insulting Louisville. Any Knoxvillian who would deride any other city apparently hasn't driven the width and breadth of their "dirty little town on the banks of the Tennessee River" to quote the Wall Street Journal lol.

I hope she stays

Me too but I am afraid that ship may have sailed!
