Coach Barnes

guinpen:
Youngstown State head women’s basketball coach John Barnes is taking a leave of absence to focus on personal family matters. Associate Head Coach John Nicolais (pronounced Nick-oh-lay), who has provided stable leadership alongside Barnes since the pair arrived together at YSU in 2013, will serve as acting head coach until Barnes returns.
 
“We support Coach Barnes’ decision, and we will continue to focus on our student-athletes as our top priority,” said YSU Executive Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Ron Strollo. “We have a great support system in place, and we feel strongly that Coach Nicolais and our six seniors can lead our program both on and off the court.”
 
Strollo and Nicolais will address the media Tuesday.

IAA Fan:
Good to see everyone is engaged in this. They will be bringing in an additional coach. Sounds like the choice has been made & they are just waiting for things to finalize. This is not any type of replacement.
