Mazzante is the obvious replacement and she’s got to be an awesome recruiter.

Mazzante was already either the number one assistant or on an equal basis with Reed. It was always difficult to tell. However now she has the title of associate head coach, which she did not have before, nor did Reed.
I was never overly impressed with the job that Reed did during his 15 years at Susquehanna - below .500 overall and no NCAA appearances. However it appears that he did a very good job coaching the post players during his Bucknell tenure. For example, Tessa Brugler’s post moves improved dramatically in the six months after he begin coaching the post players. Ceppi also improved as did Carly Krsul and Emma Shaffer.
