Mohegan Jennifer Rizzotti felt like she needed a break after George Washington fired her as head coach of the women s basketball team back on March 15.
Rizzotti had been a college head coach for the past 22 seasons, the first 17 at the University of Hartford. The former UConn great led legislative meetings for the Women s Basketball Coaches Association and has been part of USA Basketball, too.
Rizzotti began having second thoughts about taking a breather when the Mohegan Sun came calling for her to be the president of the Connecticut Sun. I really didn t know what I wanted to do next, Rizzotti said at her introductory press conference on Tuesday at Mohegan Sun Arena. This opportunity came up pretty quickly, or at least the idea of it, and it became more of a reality as the weeks went on.
