Robin Pingeton was head coach at Missouri for 15 years before 2025 and was an assistant under Fennelly. As was Katie Abrahamson-Henderson who is current coach at Georgia and at UCF before that.

Neither played for ISU, but def part of the lineage. At one point Frese and then Abrahamson were my 1&2 choices for the next ISU coach. I’d still take Frese in a heartbeat.

As I mentioned recently in another thread, Aubrey Joens is currently a graduate manager at Indiana:

"Joens earned her bachelor’s degree from Oklahoma in August 2024 in planned programs and is pursuing a master’s degree in adult education from Indiana."

^This is the way. As a player she saw two different styles from two coaching staffs and is now getting more diversity from a third school. Not that she's necessarily looking for a career in hoops but it makes sense if she is.

And three GOOD programs.
