Amadou to UK?
Jen Smith @jenheraldleader
One of the best sources in womens' basketball circles @wbballhoopscoop reporting UK to hire Bucknell's Stefanopoulos and Amadou of Dayton.

Amadou to KY ?
As of today, 4-16-2014,there was nothing about this on the UK women's basketball website. So if true, nothing is finalized yet.

He is also still listed as an assistant on the coaching staff at Dayton.

I'm familiar with Stefanopoulos. Very highly regarded. Just finished her 2nd year at Bucknell. She is from Kentucky and spent 2-3 years in the UK womens' program as their video coordinator before entering the assistant coaching ranks. Would make since if she was headed back. Not sure that impacts Dayton, but lends some creditability to the source.

Spoke to Coach Green tonight and she confirmed that Coach A is indeed going to UK. Said he had finished his doctorate and it is a great opportunity for him. He hasn't changed his twitter page and his name is not yet listed on the UK WBB website. He does have a UK email address.

Amadou to Kentucky
His addition to the University of Kentucky women's Basketball coaching staff is now on their website. He is also off the UD roster.
Our chances of recruiting those 2015-2016 Kentucky prospects are probably down some more.

My guess is UK was interested in a prospect before, the likelihood they sign with UD was slim. Not many in state kids turn down UK unless it's for UL.

Turned out to be not such a great opportunity. However nothing ventured, nothing gained. Interesting to see his plan B.

Reading the article it sounds like there was a lot of negative going on in this program this season. Based on the number of player defections and two assistant coaches moving on, I wouldn't necessarily place the ownership of what went wrong with the assistants. It looks to be deeper than that, but unless you're inside it's hard to tell. A lot of turnover in players and coaches is never good and I tend to lean towards holding the head coach responsible for the turnover.

Yea, hiring Swoopes was a blunder.

Wonder if Swoopes situation is anything like what Jabir experienced when he came to UD or if its just Swoopes herself. When Jabir took over he had a talk with the players and laid out a work schedule that didn't go over with some of the players. What get up a 6 am for practice and how many practices a day? geesh. Jabir ended up with only 7 players his first year as they were the only ones willing to work to build a successful program. Tough firs year but it has paid off big time.
Previous coaches at UD coddled the players, didn't make them work hard to prepare for games etc. Not sure what Swoopes situation is but losing 10 of 12 is your whole team. Needs at least 3 freshman to have a starting lineup.

First Amadou, then Tamika Williams and now Camryn Whitaker. Odd. Maybe Mitchell just doesn't like Dayton.

I work at a school that hosted Swoopes and Loyola. Most teams (men's and women's), even after a tough loss, are gone from the opposing teams arena within an hour after the game. Both years that she lost when we hosted them, she kept the team in the locker room yelling at them for well over an hour. Sh would not even let the trainer in to see the kids during this time. Not only was our staff frustrated having to wait on them, but some of their people were also upset with the amount of time they had to wait on their coach. It is not a real good situation there from what I saw.

KY just lost their 7th player, none through graduation. Coach says it may not be the last. Weird stuff.
