Here is the link to the job posting on the NCAA website. It's been out there since late February and it closed on March 16th. BU hired a firm to coordinate the search as noted in the link.
Based on the closing date, I would guess an announcement sometime in April.

The search firm hired by BU is located in Florence, MA -- about 10 miles from the Amherst College campus. The women's head basketball coach at Amherst has been to four straight D-III final fours and won the nat'l championship last year.
BU found a pretty good men's coach at Williams. Could the BU women find their coach at Williams' archival??

I also hope former BU assistant coach Dan Burt applied. He brought in the best recruiting classes at BU in his 3 years in Lewisburg. Has been at Duquesne the last 5 years as the top assistant. Great recruiter. Under his leadership, BU would get some top recruits.

Agree that Burt would be a very good candidate. I hope some of the women who played for Burt have put in their two cents to Hardt.
Duquesne, btw, has had four straight 20+ win seasons and four straight trips to the NIT.
Burt's bio: http://www.goduquesne.com/sports/w-baskbl/mtt/b urt...
Any thoughts as to whether former top assistant Corey Laster, who left BU two years ago and ended up as head coach at D3 Colorado-Colorado Springs, might also be a viable candidate?
One other former assistant who would have been a very good candidate was Jackie Smith, who left BU after only one year. However she was named the head coach at her alma mater, Furman, two years ago at the age of 32.
2012-13 Attendance: 19 games and 8,354 miles driven.

...and the rumor appears to have been wrong.
Twitterverse now suggesting the new coach is Aaron Roussell, HC and UChicago.
Roussell lead the Maroons to a 26-0 start this year before losing in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. Considering UChicago had never been ranked prior to his arrival in 03-04... that doesn't seem too shabby.
Young guy, by the way. He graduated from Iowa in 2001.

I hesitate to say that two hires make a pattern, but like he did in hiring Paulsen, Hardt has picked a successful D3 coach from an academically rigorous school. Looks like a good choice. This will be interesting to watch.

From talking to folks in the coaching community, Bucknell wanted a coach with head coach experience in an environment focused on academics.
While that doesn't preclude other D1 coaches...it leads you to D3 pretty quickly.
Interesting to note that Susan Robinson Fruchtl was rumored to be very interested in the job before accepting the HC job at Providence. She has D1 experience and was an All-American down 45 at PSU.
Still, looks like a good hire. UAA is a pretty challenging league historically (Wash U, NYU,etc.) and Chicago excelled.

If true, I like this hire. From his bio, says he took over this program after a couple months on the job as an assistant. And all he's done is win-win-win and win BIG. That's very exciting. If he can recruit, Bucknell will be a consistant NCAA participant year after year very soon.

Also until the Big East started adding west coast teams was the worst travelling league in the US including UChicago, NYU, Emory (Atlanta) and Washington U (St. Louis) at the extremes. I know Emory is approximately 500 miles from their nearest competitor. And we think Holy Cross has it rough.

If true, I like the hire as well for BU.
I've heard good things about Coach R. He graduates a second-team and forth-team D3Hoops.com All American, so he can recruit and coach talent...
There's no reason why BU should not be the premier program in the PL for women's hoops.
I posted earlier that the HC at Amherst would have been a good hire as well. I understand that he's very happy at Amherst and actually turned down the job at UMass a couple of years ago to stay at Amherst...

From the story on D3hoops:
http://www.d3hoops.com/notables/2012/04/rous sell-t...
Roussell will join former Williams head coach Dave Paulsen at Bucknell, giving the Bison two former Division III head coaches at the helms of their basketball programs. He's the first D-III women's basketball coach to go directly to D-I since Scott Rueck went from George Fox to Oregon State after the 2009-10 season.
You can see some interviews with Roussell here:
http://www.youtube.com/user/uchicagoathletic s
Taylor Simpson, the Josten's Trophy winner, played for Roussell. Here is an interview with her:

I had the pleasure of transporting Coach Roussell yesterday and am totally impressed with what he brings to the University. The Sunbury Daily Item article announcing his appointment, underscores his core values and goal to win right away. He is a first class guy! Those with concern over him not having DI experience in recruiting need not worry. He clearly undestands that BU's strong academic reputation, beautiful campus and top notch facilities plus his history of winning will have the program to the top of the Patriot League. Most importantly, his players will have fun playing.

Regarding Amy Zehner: As of Jan 10th -- the only thing reported was she was on an indefinite leave. With all the changes since then, I would expect if her health is not an issue, that would have been her status as she waited to see who was going to be the new coach.
She has family ties to Bucknell. That helps. Pending her health, I would expect Roussell to re-recruit her hard. And I would be surprised if he hasn't already reached out to her. He needs to know sooner, rather than later, if she is returning from a scholarship perspective. If she can not return, he has two scholarships to fill this coming year.
Chukwuedo's was probably already offered and unless the young women backed out, it's probably committed. But I'm sure Amy's was held for her. So either way, Roussell probably knows or will know very soon the status of Amy Zehner for this fall. If she is not returning, he needs to fill that scholarship. I'm hoping that Amy returns. First, it means she is healthy. But also, she can help this program and get a great education that will benefit her the rest of her life. Looking for a WIN-WIN-WIN. Hope it works out.

BU has not rostered 13 scholarship players the past few years with all of the transfers etc, so there have always been one or more scholarships available. At present there are only 10 returning scholarship players (not including Zehner). They signed two players last November - both from Ohio - which should bring next year's number of scholarship athletes up to 12, assuming neither has decommitted due to the coaching turmoil. Thus there should still be at least one scholarship available either for Zehner or another recruit.

Thanks for the scholarship info. I thought there were only 12 scholarships available -- but if there are 13 there might be 1-2 for the new coach to fill pending Zehner's status and the two recruits from the early signing period last fall. Hopefully he isn't having to scramble for this year, but rather working on the 2013-14 season. It would be nice to retain everyone, including Amy and the two new recruits.

I'm fairly sure that the women went to 13 scholarships at the same time the men did - which was about 3-4 years ago. However due to transfers and some inefficient recruiting, I don't think the team has ever got up to 13.

If the men are at 13, Title IX would dictate the women went there too. I just missed the announcement. THANKS!!!
And you are correct in your analysis that there should be a scholarship for Zehner if she returns, which I'm sure Roussell is getting a decision on sooner rather than later so he can lock-down his team for next fall.
Anyone hear anything about assistant coaches??? I saw the roster page cleared everyone except Roussell. I like the University respects him enough to let him pick his own staff, and is willing to payoff contracts if needed, but I hope he retains at least a couple of them.

You didn't miss the announcement because there never was an announcement. The first I knew of the additional scholarship was when the men's team added a 13th scholarship player. I assumed, as you do, that this would also apply to the women - although theoretically they could have given a scholarship to a different women's sport and complied with Title IX that way. Unlikely I think.
I don't know anything of the assistant coach situation, although I do know that Broderick and Ashley Langford have not left Bucknell at this point.
I don't know anything about the Zehner situation, but I do know that she can return to Bucknell and play immediately. If she goes to any other D1 school, she will have to sit out all of the upcoming season (barring a very unlikely hardship waiver).

Full staff has now been named:
http://www.bucknellbison.com/sports/w-baskbl/spec- ...
Other than holdover Katie Adams, the other two are:
- Christian Stefanopoulos
- Mike Lane
The roster listing implies that Stefanopoulos is the #1 assistant and Lane #2. Lane has Chicago ties with Roussell and has apparently done a good job as head coach of a D3 school in that area.
While the two new hires both look to be very qualified, the mix of the three new coaches seems a bit strange: (a) all are Midwesterners with no Eastern experience at all; (b) two of the three have no D1 recruiting experience, while the third has two years; (c) two of the three are males; and (d) there are no African-Americans.
Hopefully their overall ability will quickly build up a successful program and none of the above items will matter.

I agree, usually the first assistant is listed first on the roster page -- but I don't think that is the case here. (Probably an oversight by who posted/entered it.)
I would be shocked if Lane isn't the first assistant. He has 10+ years more experience than the other two and left a DIII head coaching job to come to Bucknell. And, he has coached with Roussell before.

Gotta tell y'all, I am amazed how few have raised the question about the lack of Division I recruiting experience per Roussell. And now the staff magnifies the question.
What I have to ask is, how would you have reacted if this hire was made on the men's side?
This should have been considered a plum women's head coaching job. Great facilities. Proven success on the men's side and in other sports, which proves it is not a bad place to recruit to.
So what made for a pool of candidates that yielded a coach with such little experience and no DI recruiting track record?
Proverbial "word on the street" has it that the offer to Robinson-Fruchtl was "lowball." Is that why the lady from Richmond also passed?
Makes you wonder just how even the commitment is to women's basketball.
And come to think of it, if you look back the last few years, the Fedorjaka situation raises the same question.
Of course good luck getting any answers from Hardt and Braverman.

In response to Hoop Time
I agree Rousell and company have very little DI recruiting. But I'm not unhappy with the hire. First the guy didn't have any DIII recruiting experience when he took over at Chicago and all he did was WIN-WIN-WIN. That's hard to do at any level if you don't have talent and if you can't coach and get the most out of your talent while you're building a championship program. So I'm VERY glad we got a guy that seems to be committed to putting in the long hours to make the contacts and appears to be a great X's and O'x coach.
Second, I think talent has always wanted to come to Bucknell, but because of the previous leadership that was known to be disorganized, late with offers, indecisive, and when I think of 2X Patriot League POY Erica Prosser who wanted to come to Bucknell, but didn't get an offer, I have to wonder how good the former coach was at evaluating players. I think there has always been a list of talented players who WANTED to come, and I think Rousell will be all over it. He wanted to build an elite program in Chicago and I think he's planning to do the same at BU.
I don't like hearing BU might have low-balled an offer to a female coach. In my opinion Hardt should have gone too in all of this. But I'm one to count the blessings when they come, and getting a male head coach after everything washed out, could be a blessing if Hardt didn't learn anything in all of this. He has a lot of ground to make up with me and low-balling offers is BS.

I have no idea what BU offered Robinson-Fruchtl (or any other candidate). However I think it's likely that Providence is paying her a lot more than any PL school pays their women's coach.

I am sure that is true. But BU offered her before Providence and there is reason to believe she might have taken the job had it been a better offer. Regardless of what Providence is paying, word is Bucknell's offer was considered low. Note also that apparently the Richmond assistant was the second choice and she also passed.
Let me be clear, in none of this am I criticizing the new coach. I am simply asking if the women's program is treated the same as the mens.

We know in the past it hasn't even been close and the rumors of low-ball offers don't give me a positive outlook. Hardt has a lot to amend for. People will certainly be watching how this new era unfolds and how athletics treats women's basketball going forward.

. I am simply asking if the women's program is treated the same as the mens.
I'm sure it isn't. But having said that, fair or not, about 99% of women's programs - including every program in the PL - are not treated the same. Coaches' salaries across the board are much lower, as are recruiting budgets. When one program has an attendance that is 5 to 10x as high as the other, and when one generates 10x as much publicity for the school, that is usually going to be the case, like it or not.
At Holy Cross, Bill Gibbons has had the job 27 years and been very successful. Yet he makes far less than Milan Brown, who has been there two years and has not been successful thus far. Gibbons also makes far less than did Sean Kearney and far less than did Ralph Willard. The disparity at the other seven PL schools is much greater than at HC.
2012-13 Attendance: 19 games and 8,354 miles driven.

137 expressed most of my thoughts, though 99% is probably a bit conservative.
Keep in mind that Bucknell didn't exactly write a blank check when hiring Paulsen, either. Total compensation was south of $170,000 on a base salary just north of $100,000 his first season in Lewisburg.

Given Bucknell's responsibility to prudently manage its resources, I would hope salary decisions for any coach would be largely driven by the market.

Or Bravman could just decide to up the campaign yet another $100 million... prudence be damned!

In the wake of our demolishing by dastardly UConn, your signature rang bittersweet all last season. Ah, but now it is a sweet reminder of our triumph in Tucson!

Roussel added another recruit last week - Aussie Claire Maree O'Bryan. The article says she is a scholarship player, which probably is correct. She has played on various Aussie age group teams and attended the Hill School this year - her first experience in the U.S.
She is a 5'10" wing who appears to be a good outside shooter. Not sure if her defense is ready for D1.

Roussel sent out a nice "bread and butter" email to supporters of Bucknell women's basketball. Didn't get one myself, but read a copy a friend received. He updated his short-term recruiting activities, without giving any names. I'm anxious to see what he can do with Div 1 recruiting.

BU announced a new director of basketball ops for the women today, a first for that team. It is Brittany Pinkney, who seems very qualified. Played at VCU, where she was captain. Played in Europe. Coached D2 the past couple of years and also coached AAU.
