Jim Foster
Women’s Basketball Coach 2002-13
Jim Foster coached 11 seasons at Ohio State from 2002-13. He put the women’s basketball program back on the map, making the NCAA Tournament in 10 of his 11 seasons. Foster and the Buckeyes also enjoyed a run of six consecutive Big Ten Championships and four Big Ten Tournament titles. His .772 winning percentage (279-82) is the highest of any women’s basketball coach in school history.

Foster helped develop some of the best players in the program’s history. Jessica Davenport (2004-07) was the program’s first three-time All-American. She scored 2,303 points and grabbed 1,094 career rebounds. Jantel Lavender was also a three-time All-American and became the first player, male or female, in the Power 5 conferences to be named conference player of the year four times. Samantha Prahalis was a four-time All-Big Ten point guard. She scored more than 2,000 career points and still holds the Big Ten record with 901 assists which is 11th in NCAA history.

Foster, a Pennsylvania native, also coached at Saint Joseph’s, Vanderbilt and Chattanooga where he amassed 903 career wins which currently ranks seventh in NCAA history. He is the only coach to take four different programs to the NCAA Tournament. Foster was elected to the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame as a member of the class of 2013 and in 2018, after 40 years on the bench, he announced his retirement.

NCAA reverses course, grants immediate-eligibility waiver to Michigan transfer Myles Sims at Georgia Tech

Jim Harbaugh didn’t make many friends following the transfer of two of his Michigan players this offseason, but at least one of them has seen a positive ending to their journey.

Earlier this month, it was confirmed that Myles Sims had his appeal for a waiver for immediate eligibility at Georgia Tech denied. The defensive back had transferred to Tech from Michigan earlier this offseason.

Wednesday, however, Tech confirmed that, after appealing the initial denial, Sims has been granted a waiver that will allow him to play immediately in 2019. Including this coming season, Sims will have four years of eligibility he can use with the Yellow Jackets.

“I’m happy for Myles and for our team that he has been granted immediate eligibility. This is the right decision for the young man,” head coach Geoff Collins said in a statement.

STATEMENT FROM MARTIN

Can't believe I never saw this thread: I would have totally been spamming it up with all my new and reclaimed favorites through my daughters' toddlerhood and early elementary years.

These are my very favorite picture books to have read aloud to the little ones:

Owl Moon by Jane Yolen, about a dad taking his daughter out for her first time "owling" on a winter night in the woods


The Ox-Cart Man by Donald Hall, about the annual cycle of life for a olden-times New England family


I'm the Biggest Thing in the Ocean! by Kevin Sherry, the first book that really cracked us up at bedtime, a million times over


Birds by Kevin Henkes, so simple but just about perfect


The Dam by David Almond, this one is quite new but so haunting and interesting, about an English town flooded by a new dam


Journey by Aaron Becker, the first in an awesome trilogy of wordless books about a girl's adventure of imagination
