Met Coach MacGillivray and Assistant Chris Day tonight at a Delaware HS Girls State Tournament game (Padua vs. Kent Polytech. Padua won by 20+.)I assume they were there to see Padua's Michelle Kozicki. I believe she has committed to La Salle. The coaches were very personable...and told me I should get season tix for the La Salle women.
(Still trying to figure out why I went to the game. A friend's granddaughter did start for Padua. It was at the Salesianum Gym.)
There were no Elena's on the court...

Hey, they were genuinely friendly. They are advocates of the women's game. I hope the young lady from Padua enjoys her La Salle experience.

This makes more sense to me now. Assuming that the personnel cutbacks announced by La Salle yesterday would necessarily have impacted the men's and women's basketball coaching staffs, Ms. Guastella was the WBB assistant coach with the least seniority.

Coach Mountain recently spent about an hour & twenty minutes on a podcast discussing a wide range of topics that you may find interesting: how he got his start and his progression in coaching leading up to the La Salle job, his and his team's program philosophy/principles/values, discussion of those individuals who have influenced his coaching style, and a fair amount on his offensive and defensive approaches, even including descriptions of a few drills they run. It may be too long for many, but anyone who enjoys coaching or knowing more about it, should enjoy it. Mountain has a very engaging personality and expresses his thoughts with great enthusiasm. I left the podcast thinking "this is a good guy to be running La Salle's Women's Basketball program." The podcast is run by a girls' BBall coach in Georgia, Kevin Furtado, and is traditionally targeted at HS coaches. Seems like it was a great opportunity for Mountain to spread his and La Salle's program 'story' to HS coaches outside of our traditional markets. The podcast was loud and clear, but there were a few weird/awkward 'production' moments. Mountain's intro was fairly long and almost verbatim to the text associated with the podcast. It was followed by a a fairly long musical "walk-up" song before Mountain uttered his first words after the intro. And twice, with no introduction or break notification from the host, Mountain's recording was interrupted mid-sentence for a commercial message. I guess that's the price of recording on a 'free' podcast platform. All in all, I found it to be an interesting and worthwhile listen. Here's the link:

Destiny Ryles, 5'-3" freshman guard from Windsor Mills, MD has placed her name on the NCAA D-I Transfer portal. She must not have played in any game. If you go to individual stats she is not listed.

Nor does she have a profile which made me think she may have been the manager, practice player and/or a walk-on.

Well, a sentence and the Explorer mascot's icon is not exactly a "bio" in my view so thanks for all these citations which I believe have overdelivered the subtle point I was trying to make.

Haleigh Hill 6'-0" senior forward has placed her name as a grad transfer in the transfer portal.
There are currently four ( 4 ) former La Salle WBB players in the transfer portal.
Hopefully, senior PG Kate Hill will return for another ( grad student ) year on the Lady Explorers next year ( assuming that she still has another year of eligibility left ).

A recruit that had production. I will take it. Hopefully she finds a home at La Salle. Women’s program is ahead of the men’s program in their respective rebuilds.

Third in her conference in rebounds! And at 6'2" she may make a huge impact in the A10 where we have often been outrebounded by more athletic or quicker teams in our league particularly like Fordham, Dayton, UMass and Rhode Island. I'd been concerned after our post player Hayleigh Hill graduated. This transfer pick-up fills a very huge need for the next two seasons. Could she be the piece that pushes the ceiling for this team from .500 to 20+ wins?
