Rogers off and running as ASU women’s coach

JONESBORO -- Destinee Rogers doesn't lack confidence.

It was evident by her choice of outfit for Monday morning's news conference: A bright red pantsuit over a white t-shirt with an Arkansas State University pin on her left lapel.

It was equally clear in late January when Rogers told reporters she knew she was "the right person for this job," even with her interim tag only running through mid-April.

Her players, though, bore witness to Rogers' conviction first.

"When I grew closer to Coach Dez, I noticed just how intelligent she was and how boss lady she was," freshman guard Jade Upshaw said.
