Connie Yori out as Nebraska Women's Basketball Coach


Just heard this too. All I can say is WOW.

Might explain the struggles on the court this season a little.

Another random though that comes to mind is that this likely didn't just happen this year......
 
Wow! Sad if all true...

With that being said, I'd LOVE to see Shimmy Gray-Miller as the next HC!!!
 



I believe Amy Williams will receive strong consideration for the HC position.

Williams is a former Husker and current HC of USD whose team just won the WNIT.

Strong emphasis will be on keeping the current highly-ranked recruiting class intact and existing players in the fold!

Anyone who knows Connie Yori personally knows she doesn't have an illegal, immoral, unethical, or "abusive" bone in her body.

Is she demanding? Yes. Does she preach accountibility? Yes. But to say "abusive" must be coming from some coddled, entitled players who don't want to work on and off the court.
 




“After fourteen years as the head coach of the women’s basketball program I have made the difficult decision to step down,” Yori said in a statement. “As some of you may know, this has been a very challenging time for my family and in the best interest of all of us, this is the right decision. I want to thank the student-athletes, assistant coaches, staff and administrators, especially Shawn Eichorst, for his leadership and support during this difficult time in my life. Finally, thank you to the incredible Husker Nation for their passionate and unwavering support throughout my time in Lincoln. I will always be a proud Husker.”

The Lincoln Journal Star reported earlier on Tuesday that Yori’s resignation came amid allegations from players and staff on the 2015-16 team that Yori had mistreated players.

Yori has denied those allegations to multiple outlets.

I have added a bunch of links on the main page for you all to look at. It seems it was 10 people from last years team that started the whole thing. My guess is we won't hear anything else and UNL will move on and forget ASAP.

Your guess is actually probably fact.

This will be the most important thing to do going forward.
 



It's crazy to think about the responsibility of our current AD. In what has become more and more a transient position the AD has the power to select a coaching staff that will in the long term affect a program's trajectory. It almost seems comparable to the president selecting chief justices.

Shimmy will have zero chance of being considered. Not a knock on Shimmy, who I personally like a great deal. But with our facilities, fan support, and commitment to the program, we will have our sights set on a successful head coach (unless the assistant happens to be from a place like UConn). Shimmy's lack of success as a head coach at St. Louis would be a problem.
 

Here is a good article by Sam McKeon in today's OWH regarding Coach Yori and her accomplishments at Nebraska!

Sorry to see her leave! :(

She then took the job at Nebraska in 2002. The Huskers' roster was so depleted — just five scholarship players — when she took over that Yori had to knock on the doors of sororities looking for additional depth..........

Since then, the Huskers made six NCAA Tournaments, including two Sweet Sixteens. Nebraska also won a school record 32 games in 2009-2010, sweeping 16-0 through the Big 12 regular season. Yori won Big 12 and National Coach of the Year honors in 2010 for that season. She also won Big Ten Conference Coach of the Year in 2013 and 2014. NU won 24, 25 and 26 games in its first three seasons in the Big Ten.
