WAFB television in Baton Rouge reports that former Louisiana State women's basketball coach Pokey Chatman is taking over as coach of a premier Russian pro team.Funny, I kind of thought she might take some kind of job with the East German Olympic swim team. Shows to go 'ya.
Here's the scoop:
Former LSU Lady Tigers Head Coach Pokey Chatman has accepted a lucrative coaching position with Spartak, a professional basketball team based in Russia, WAFB's Greg Meriwether reports.
Chatman says she accepted the job Thursday and plans to begin work in October. Chatman says she will be living in Russia about six months out of the year.
Chatman resigned from LSU last March amid allegations she had an inappropriate relationship with a former player. Chatman was a highly successful and decorated coach at LSU, having taken the Lady Tigers to three consecutive Final Fours beginning in 2004.
