New Women's Basketball Coach

In today’s Tribune/Vindy newspaper

The following is the new information from the article that was not included on the YSU news release. It does offer additional information that she won only 4 more games after winning 12 games. I can only speculate that it might have something to do with why her contract was not renewed. It is simply a guess on my part and is not supported by any other information.
“In five years as head coach, Jackson led the Zips to two postseason appearances and maintained the best winning percentage in program history (.511) with a record of 72-69.
When Jackson took over the Zips head coaching job, she was initially given a five-year contract. In her fifth and final season as head coach with Akron in 2022-2023, the Zips began the season 12-2 before finishing 17-13. Before the end of the year, Jackson was informed by the university that it would not be extending her contract.”
