knight_rider Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I had overheard Shimmy and Coach Francis talk about this a few weeks ago. A nice little recruiting tool if you ask me. I think she is the epitome of Big-Time and it will only be a matter of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billiken Rich Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I wonder how she'd be as an assistant on the men's team..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonka Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I like the idea and I like her. I have a good friend who coaches a girls high school basketball team here in St. Louis and he told me Shimmy called him the minute she got the job and introduced herself. She has been pushing ever since to get a meeting with him and stays in touch with him regularly just to touch base. The number of girls he's had go D1 you could count on one hand, but keeps working the relationship for when that one special girl comes along. Got to like it.

billiken_roy Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 i dont think shimmy will or should ever be an assistant to anyone ever again. imo, that is an insult. shimmy is the most dynamic person i have ever encountered at saint louis university.

Billiken Rich Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I don't know Roy. Becoming even an assistant men's coach would make her one hell off a trailblazer. It'd doubtless get her and Slu some serios national publicity..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moytoy12 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I know this is just a thought experiment, but could a female, even a dynamic one, make much difference in recruiting male basketball players? I'm guessing she wouldn't be on the staff for X's and O's, at least, i didn't infer that to be what was suggested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billiken Law Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Pitino had a female assistant at Kentucky, so its been done before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billiken Rich Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Shimmy could be damned good at it. I've never heard of Pitino's asst. though I assumed it had been done before. It would still be ground breaking.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alameda bob Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 the letter to parents under MY BLOG. She should put this in a form that can be printed out for every coach and parent in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YUKMOUTH Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Shimmy is doing a great job, and it is good to see her getting to know the area coachs unlike Pizzotti who thought she was too bigtime to do any of that stuff. Where is Jill these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moytoy12 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Rich, your support of the current administration already punched your ticket! Look at it this way, now you can say all the inappropriate things you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billiken Rich Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I've considered that philosophy from time to time..... If only those damn nuns hadn't help develope a conscience in me to go along with a disbelief in nearly everything else they preached.......
