ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH LEAVING
"Kansas announces that Larry Tidwell will be stepping down as associate head coach this spring due to personal reasons, the program released Monday. With the ongoing global pandemic, the COVID-19 outbreak, Tidwell has decided to relocate back to his hometown of Fort Worth, Texas to be closer to his family.
"I am relocating back home to be with family during these troubled times," said Tidwell. "This crisis has had an impact on my decision in going home to take care of family issues and put family first. I have been away and need to be in a situation where I can get to my family, who all live in Texas, in a hurry."
In his first season with the Jayhawks, the program saw its best overall record (15-14) in seven years. Kansas put forth a competitive 2019-20 campaign as it ended 2019 with an 11-0 non-conference record and charted four conference wins, which included an upset over Texas on Feb. 15. Before the pandemic, the Jayhawks anticipated earning a WNIT bid and hosting a game at home in the first round. The bid would have been KU's first postseason appearance since 2013."

Thankfully, we have Mulkey and her staff. They are strong and formidable too--and they know how to win national championships.

JHASMIN PLAYER
Assistant Coach
"I compiled a list of 50 NCAA D1 assistant coaches that are impacting the game and their programs in a variety of ways. These 50 coaches are at different points in their careers, from seasoned veterans, associate head coaches all the way to graduate assistants, but they all bring a variety of skills and assets to the programs they are impacting. There are young coaches with vigor, energy and enthusiasm. They have a thirst for challenge, changing lives and learning. Also, there are experienced coaches that bring a wealth of wisdom and understanding. Many of these coaches have made an impression on me, whether it be it be their recruiting prowess, key relationships, network, knowledge, impact on others, understanding of the game and/or the successes of the programs they've been attached to.
Jhasmin Player is a young brilliant mind in the coaching industry. Very intelligent with great presence and moxy, Coach Player has brought a breath of fresh air to the coaching world. She caught the attention of the world two years ago with a fabulous monologue she posted on twitter discussing the difficulties of making the transition from one of the nation's top players to a freshman at a national program, playing very little minutes. That video has garnered closed to 1.5 million views to date. Her social media platforms have since gained a lot of traction, become a place where difficult subjects are addressed and perspectives are gained."

I spoke to my colleagues at UT. They hired and are now recruiting for the sole purpose to compete with Baylor. They feel that Astin didn't have a chance to compete and that she was losing ground over the last two seasons. I didn't believe it, but it appears to be the sole reason she was let go. They interviewed one person for the new job, and everyone on the board wanted Schaffer. They feel he has what it takes to dethrone Baylor and compete, year in and year out, for a Big 12 Championship. It makes me a bit nervous, but I love the fight and competitiveness...and I can't wait to see Mulkey continue to run the gauntlet of the Big 12 in the decade to come!historian said:
ESPN reported at the time that Karen was fired mainly because of her record against Baylor. It was also reported in the Bryan/College Station paper. I guess events are proving this correct.
