I guess. So what does that job entail, would be my question. Honestly these staffs have gotten way out of control, especially the mens. You look at the sideline for the guys and there's hardly room for the team to sit on the bench. looks like there are 10-12 assistants and staff. Ben has to be wondering how to even assign duties. He said earlier he was only allowed ONE assistant at NWMS......
edit; The mens staff lists 4 assistants and 7 staff members so 11 paid after the HC. The women's team now lists 6 assistants (counting Syd now)and five staff members so 11 paid plus Jan. Neither yet lists GA's at this point.

Looking at other places, everyone has a lot of staff. Especially now that many teams have a separate GM who sometimes isnt called an AC. Sean does both for Jan.

Not including GAs, South Carolina has Dawn plus 14 AC/staff. UConn has Geno plus 13. Rutgers has Gary Redus plus 15! UCLA has Cori plus 11. Even Nebraska who suck have Amy plus 10.

As Iowa wbb fans, we should he happy that Iowa is getting the same staffing needs met as other P4 programs.

Go Hawkeyes!

Okay, so my post really had nothing to do with IOWA specifically. Just a thought on how crazy this has become when you basically have 1+ staffer for every player. Thats all it was. I'm not upset that Iowa has the resources.

yea….. I just assumed it’s a matter of keeping up with the competition…. I assumed the position is designed to have Syd help with daily administrative bulls!t and running practices….. film studying….. I’m not sure but I imagine there’s a lot of daily distractions she can handle to ease Jans load

I thought the biggest positive is it’ll help on Syd’s resume when she’s looking for a coaching job eventually
