New Head Coach of Illini Women's Basketball
Illinois has a new head basketball coach for the Illini women's program. Keeping the Rutgers connection going (Coach Grentz came from there to Illinois), Jolette Law has been named head coach for the Illini after having served as Associate Head Coach for the Scarlet Knights. At her press conference yesterday, she declared that the Illini will win a national championship. That is a bold statement but I like the enthusiasm and passion. We wish her good luck in her new position!

Theresa Grentz
Illinois women's basketball coach, Theresa Grentz, has announced she is resigning, after spending 12 years at the university. While this decision surprised some people, the past few years have been a little more challenging for the women's basketball program and Grentz felt it was time to move on to pursue other opportunities.
I had a chance to meet Coach Grentz on a couple of occasions while I was in school and she was always a very classy lady. She has expereinced much success throughout her career and did a good job of building the program while she was here. We wish her the best of luck on her new endeavors and hope that AD Ron Guenther can find a replacement who will continue to build the program.
