In today’s environment where low-majors need to reset their rosters every year, it only makes sense to consider current head coaches with that type of experience. Most D1 assistant coaches don’t fit that bill, so Slytherin should forget about hiring a SDSU assistant and concentrate on these 3 SoCal D2 head coaches that have years of experience. They are, in no particular order:

Danelle Bishop, Cal Poly Pomona – Head coach for 16 years with a .658 winning percentage. Has made 1 D2 final four, 3 Elite Eights, and 4 Sweet 16’s.

Russ Davis, Vanguard – Head coach for 30 years with a .783 winning percentage.

Charity Elliott, Point Loma Nazarene University – 5 years at Point Loma with a .63 winning percentage. Head coach at D1 Loyola Marymount for 9 years and 5 years at UCSD before they went D1.

If you are skeptical about a D2 head coach, just look at what CSU Fullerton did last year. They hired John Bonner, former HC for Dominguez Hills. They went 18-14 after finishing 7-23 the year before under their previous coach.
