According to Dennis Punzel of the Wisconsin State Journal, George Washington head coach Jonathan Tsipis has emerged as the top candidate for the Wisconsin women’s basketball head coaching vacancy.
Punzel cited multiple sources as indications for Tsipis to replace Bobbie Kelsey as the seventh women’s basketball head coach in program history.
Tsipis, 43, has an impressive 92-38 record at George Washington, although the team lost its first round matchup in the NCAA Women’s Tournament this past weekend. A longtime assistant and associate head coach to well-respected Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw, Tsipis has proven himself as a recruiter and successful leader with the Colonials as well. He is well known for his energy on the sideline.
The athletic department is not set to make a decision nor make an announcement until the men’s basketball team’s season is over.
