Re: Shoniker to take over at UNH
Classy statement from Tammi at the end of the article:
Statement from URI head coach Tammi Reiss
"I couldn't be any prouder or happier for Megan being named the new head women's basketball coach at the University of New Hampshire. Since day one of joining our program Meg has diligently worked hard in gaining knowledge and growing her expertise as an assistant and associate head coach. Meg's dream and career goal was to be a head coach and in her five years here in Kingston I watched her apply herself in all areas and aspects of the job. She has never been more ready to lead her own program with her vision. I cannot thank her enough for all that she has done for our program and our student-athletes. She has been a tremendous asset as a player and as a coach for the University of Rhode Island. This is very bittersweet for me as I hate seeing her leave but am so very happy that she fulfilled her dream. I hope New Hampshire is ready for that energy, passion, and fire that's about to happen when Coach Shoniker steps foot on campus. They got themselves a great one."

Re: Shoniker to take over at UNH
Classy statement from Tammi. I think it must be emotionally and mentally easier when an assistant leaves to become a head coach. Far more understandable than when an assistant leaves for a similar assistant position elsewhere.

Re: Shoniker to take over at UNH
Not a surprise to see Megan Shoniker leave for a HC job or for an AC job at a P5 school. Megan will be great at UNH. Might be a player or two follows Megan to UNH.
Megan is highly respected and has build her reputation consistently higher in her years here. Wouldn’t be surprised if she returns to URI as HC one day.
Megan was an Assistant Head Coach, Tammi has 2 Assistant Head Coaches. As with Dan Hurley, Tammi is good at recognizing coaching talent, development and promoting.
Wouldn’t be surprised to see a current staff member promoted to Assistant Coach shortly

Re: URI Women's Basketball Coaching Staff Changes
I've renamed this to more of a general thread on changes to the women's basketball coaching staff. It looks like Ali Jaques has been hired as an associate head coach:
https://gorhody.com/sports/womens-baske ... aques/1174
Jen Fay has also been added to the staff:
https://gorhody.com/sports/womens-baske ... n-fay/1173
Adeniyi Amadou remains on the coaching staff. And as rjv pointed out, Tamika Keane seems to be out. I can't find any indication of where she ended up; Instagram hasn't been updated in months, Twitter account hasn't been touched since May 2023. If she ended up on another coaching staff, they haven't announced it yet.

Keane is on Toledo staff
"Every season, college basketball has one or two teams that rise from dormancy to relevancy, squads that make long-awaited charges at the NCAA Tournament and become really fun storylines along the way."
