STORRS, Conn. – Jasmine Lister, who joined the UConn women's basketball staff as an assistant coach following the 2017-18 season, has resigned and will not return for a third year on head coach Geno Auriemma's staff.
"I'm happy to share that Jasmine is doing well and appreciates the kindness of UConn Nation during her time away from our program," Auriemma said. "She has indicated that she will not return as an assistant coach and will instead pursue other professional opportunities. Jasmine is a great person and I'm sure the next chapter of her life will bring continued success. I wish her all my best."
