UPDATE
March 27, 2022

Word on the street is that the WVU HC selection is a done deal ...
Waiting for media confirmation that Kim Stephens
has decided to stay at Glenville State or leave for WVU.



Glenville State University head coach Kim Stephens
has been named
2022 WBCA NCAA Division II National Coach of the Year
the Women's Basketball Coaches Association announced today.

Stephens will receive the Pat Summitt Trophy, named for the late legendary University of Tennessee coach and awarded annually to the national coaches of the year in each of the WBCA's six membership divisions.
- WBCA website, 23 March 2022



March 25, 2022
GSU's patented style of up-tempo offense and pressure defense prevailed on the biggest stage in Division II women's basketball. Glenville State pulled away from Western Washington, 85-72 at Bill Harris Arena in Birmingham, Alabama to claim the NCAA Division II National Championship. It is the first NCAA title for Glenville State in any sport.
- Excerpt from Joe Brocato, West Virginia Metro News

Note
Glenville State University is a public college in Glenville, West Virginia
Located 90 miles from WVU

ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH
From Texas > To UMKC

Kansas City Athletics has announced Dionnah Jackson-Durrett
as the head coach of Kansas City Women's Basketball. Jackson-Durrett, a former first round WNBA pick and one of the most highly touted assistant coaches in the nation, served as the associate head coach at Texas over the past two seasons and has coached in five consecutive NCAA Elite Eights.

A native of St. Louis, Jackson-Durrett has deep ties to basketball within Missouri and the Midwest at large. The 2001 Missouri High School Player of the Year put together an All-American career at Oklahoma before spending five years in the professional ranks. Over the past 12 years, she has made coaching stops at Mississippi State, George Mason and Southeast Missouri State, in addition to her time with the Longhorns.

Known for her ability as a talent developer and mentor, Jackson-Durrett made her mark on Texas' guard play throughout her two seasons. This past season, each of the Longhorns' top-four scorers played primarily from the guard position.

Dawn Plitzuweit So. Dakota coach to WV apparently.

this is true. I think it helps us a ton because i believe she will play similar basketball to what worked at South Dakota and we will have to be better at it. Like i don't know any style of play that is not in the Big 12 if we can just continue to be elite we will be a great conference.

She had five or six fifth year seniors to run the offense and play that strong defense. WV{U will be a challenge for her, but she is an impressive coach. This conference has a very impressive slate of basketball coaches, both men's and women's.

Agree. She benefited from age and maturity of her team. And the exhaustion of Baylor. But she'll be an asset to the Big 12.

Excerpts

.. After the Creighton defeat, Joens stated that she would make a decision soon on her future.
.. She met with HC Bill Fennelly, who reached out to every WNBA team to get draft feedback. Fennelly said he passed the information on to Joens to let her make the decision.
.. Fennelly stated, "She was kind of all over the place, to be honest. There were teams that she was a no-doubt 1st round pick and other teams didn't see that way."
.. Ashley Joens' sister, Aubrey, has completed her Iowa State sophomore season.
.. Another sister, Kelsey, just completed her Iowa City HS junior season & plans to play at Iowa State.
