Amy Brown steps down at TTU

It is not a rumor. Nine a.m. Monday morning, Tennessee Tech will introduce a new women's basketball coach. I heard this from the best source possible, and he might know something about it!

It will be interesting to see if the Herald-Citizen sports staff can make their deadline.(cutoff)

If the announcement is long winded, it might put a strain on their time limits. Corhern will be on site and Delk in the newsroom, with a little cellphone magic,maybe they can do it.

I know the decission has been made. I hope Stacie Childress and Misty Garrett can find future success and wish them good luck.

Jimbo44 knows alot. Do you know if she has her assistants ready to go?

[wbbwatcher]

Good post Jimbo44. Good luck to the past coaches and the new ones just starting.

[CoachSH]

so anybody know who the new coach is yet!?

[coach15]

Rumor has it that the new coach will be named tomorrow!!

The new coach is Sytia Messer. She was offered and accepted job on Thursday, had a team meeting on Friday at GTech.

Sytia Messer of Ga Tech. I guess a good hire-don't know if she keeps local talent around like school wants. Tony Cross would have been a lock to keep the locals around-probably couldn't afford him-that is why bradford pulled his name b/c tech wouldn't do some things he wanted or needed. Best of luck to her

[coach15]

I hope she does well. She is suppose to be one heck of a recruiter. Hopefully she can keep local talent plus bring in some.

 

The thing I wonder is about, the woman who was the assistant at NC State. She coached while Coach Yow was sick and after she passed. Coach Yow wanted her to get that job, she didn't then she didn't get this one. It just seems something must not be right about her.

[foxylady]

Was at the press conference. I was very favorably impressed. She seems pretty

smart and said the right things, at least today. Very energetic.

Do you think she has her assistants in place? Do you think she will get a local High School coach to be her assistant to keep talent around Cookeville?
