Women Losing Assistant Coach

[bdan2002]

Has anyone heard who is leaving? I was on the UNT job site and saw they were looking for a women's assistant coach.

How about we add "Women's Head Coach" to that job listing?

Ortega to UNC-Charlotte

Longtime North Texas women's assistant coach Angela Ortega is leaving the program to become the recruiting coordinator and an assistant coach at UNC-Charlotte under former Mean Green assistant Karen Aston, UNT head coach Tina Slinker confirmed on Thursday.

Ortega has spent the last 15 seasons at UNT under Slinker and spent last year as the Mean Green's associate head coach.

For more on Ortega, see tomorrow's edition of the Denton Record-Chronicle or check www.dentonrc.com tomorrow morning.

After IMO a very questionable decision to make public that Slinker must get an NCAA appearance to guarantee her job next year, Tina will be lucky to keep any assistants. It is past time to make a coaching change but why hamstring the program and embarrass an 18 year coach for no apparent reason.

Too bad we didn't try and hire Karen Aston to be our head coach (as apparently UNCC has). She was Tina's best assistant ever (and has since gone on to be on the staffs at UT and Baylor---pretty good women's programs). She's a great recruiter, and I think will make a great head coach.

Embarrassment can be a two way street.

I'd wager that the coaching staff would have known of the NCAA appearance expectation even if the public didn't, so what's to say assistant coaches wouldn't be bailing out anyways?

They're jumping like rats from the ship. Any Record predictions for next season?
