Change is coming to the SIU women's basketball teamThis is where your favorite sports editor needs a budget increase. Remember when that Memphis news station staked out a camera outside of John Calipari's office? Well, surely you remember the pretty blonde placed in front of the door that I immediately fell in love with. Either way, the SIU athletic department has called for a 2:30 p.m. CT press conference to introduce its new women's basketball head coach.
This comes 22 days after AD Mario Moccia announced the resignation of Dana Eikenberg, whose regime saw the high of highs (MVC championship in 2007) and the low of lows (mass exodus and alleged verbal abuse). Moccia employed the services of John Nicklow (intercollegiate athletic committee chairman), Dr. Harold Bardo (faculty athletic representative), Greg Cook (local businessman/big-time athletic donor) and Kerri Blaylock (all-world SIU softball head coach) to find the best candidate. This is the same committee that helped find and hire Dale Lennon.
And that worked out very well for SIU.
As for who the coach is? No leads yet. Any guesses? Leave 'em in the comments.
