To be honest, I didn't even realize Coach left.

Looks like she resigned back in April...don't think that its even made the D3Hoops news circuit.

Doesn't even appear to be any release from Colby in all this time...kind of strange.

Now working for a NFP in Boston apparently.

Wish her all the best.

Got to see her several times while she was at Drew & she did a really nice job.

Yeah, we saw that the job was open a couple months ago. With no public statement from the school, we decided to make this a one-story transition (i.e. we'll post something when the job gets filled).

Colby search reopened. Opening turned down by a top choice?

Colby College Names Chenel Harris-Smith New Head Women's Basketball Coach

ronk...thanks for the info.
Not so sure wrt your position terms.  Amherst has a 6' shooting guard?  The Cardinals have a 6'4" ...P?  Was this to be a Forward?  Wes could use a Center, imho :).

ronk

 P for post player or the equivalent of the center position for the Wesleyan player.
The Amherst player(SG or W) will be playing on the perimeter as opposed to on the baseline or in the paint for a forward.

Top 25 released with some familiar names atop the rankings:

This was the toughest preseason ballot in a long time. I considered about six teams for No. 1 before picking Tufts, narrowly over Scranton and Amherst.

gordonmann...must be a tough day! :)  Your post does not agree wrt the Noted poll.  Amherst is listed at the top.....not Tufts.

ronk

 Gordon will probably say that his vote is only 1 of 25, although I would consider it the most meaningful. Was hoping that Amherst & Scranton would be playing each other in Vegas in Dec but someone(s) declined to have it happen.

gordonmann

Yeah, I was just commenting on my own ballot.

I looked at Amherst, Mary Hardin-Baylor, Scranton, Tufts, Wartburg and even George Fox as potential No. 1 teams. I didn't look at Bowdoin long because they have to replace three really big pieces, though I like Sela Kay a lot and respect Coach Shibles as a recruiter.

Mary Hardin-Baylor's athleticism captivates me, but I don't know how to measure them relative to other programs because of their strength-of-schedule.

After going around and around, I realized I had to pick someone and chose Tufts. But it was nice to have a lot of choices.

I'm really looking forward to the season and the D3hoops classic (which I hope to attend). George Fox and Claremont are there, too.

NE Jeffs Fan

Amherst seemed to start the season in the past hosting a tourney of 3 other NE teams.   Is it a scheduling issue? 

amh63

NE Jeffs fan....yes and no :).  Women side...same HC plus new assist.  Men's side...HC is on leave, top assist is the interim HC, plus two  assistants.  Schedule starts with a single game...then the Ken Wright two game tournament at Amherst follows.  Team goes to a new D3 tournament in Naples Florida later.  Out of state opponents in Florida, I recall.  Women's team ranked no. 1 and men's team in the top ten.  Maybe opponents do not want to chalk up a lost early in the season :).

ronk....your post here wrt an Amherst recruit from Virginia...Shipley...proved that you can spot talent.
Shipley played almost "starter" minutes today.  She played well in here 21 min. On the court.  Maybe her coach will cite her on Hoopsville  tonight ;).
