There’s something about the Champaign to Akron pipeline.
Illinois women’s basketball assistant Ryan Gensler on Wednesday was named the next head coach of Akron’s women’s team.
Gensler has spent the past handful of years on Shauna Green’s staff, coming with the coach from Dayton to Illinois last year.
In a tweet, Green called Gensler one of the “most loyal, hard working and genuine people I’ve been around,” and said Akron is getting an “absolute winner.”
I don’t have enough words to explain how happy I am for @RyanGensler!
