If I have it right WIU needs a women's asst BB coach, men's asst BB coach. Women's tennis coach, Cross country coach/track coach, a men's golf coach (maybe). I'm sure there are other asst coaches that need to be hired in the minor sports, but head coach wise I think those are it.

Sounds like Lia is the head coach now of the men's and women's golf team.

Yup, it's official now. She has been named the "Director of Golf", which includes leading the men's and women's golf teams...probably also being in charge of the golf course clubhouse.

Does anyone know if other schools have the same head coach for men's and women's sports, ie golf and soccer like WIU. I assume there are others,

Fall schedule opening day
Is only about a week away.

Looks like we've got a posting out for HC for Swimming & Diving (Men & Women): https://ncaamarket.ncaa.org/jobs/128124 ... ving-coach

Anyone know if we had someone and they left, or if they've been without one for a while and are doing a full search now? I'm not as up the status of our S&D Coaching staff as I am with our football team.
