MSU in bottom half of Big Ten for women head coaches BY TAYLOR O’NEIL HALL THALL@STATENEWS.COM
Jacquie Joseph is less than a month away from beginning her 26th season at the helm of the MSU softball team. As she approaches her third decade in the green and white, she’s seen the highs and lows of Spartan softball. From seasons under .500 to NCAA Regionals appearances, Joseph has seen it all. In that time her coaching st yle and understanding of the game may have changed, but what hasn’t changed is her goal of being a positive female and professional role model for her players. “I’ve always set it as a goal or mission to help women get into coaching, stay in coaching and thrive in coaching,” Joseph said. “It starts by (women) seeing good role models in (coaching), that we model a life that is worth seeking.” Even though Joseph wants to show her players coaching is a worthwhile profession, she’s in the minority as a women’s head coach at MSU and in NCAA Division I athletics as a whole. Nationally, Joseph is just one of the 1,463 women who hold head coaching positions for DI teams. Out of the 3,512 head coaching position for women’s teams in DI athletics, only 41.7 percent are occupied by female coaches according to the most recent Head Coaches of Women’s Collegiate Teams report published by the Tucker Center for Research on Girls and Women Sports The other 58.3 percent, or 2,049 jobs, belong
to men. “I think it’s critically important (for women to be in coaching), the same way it is for women astronauts, women doctors, women lawyers, women governors and hopefully someday a female president,” Joseph said. “It’s like any other boundary or barrier. I think when people can see it be done, then it takes that barrier away.” The Tucker Center report doesn’t just look at the percentage of women coaching at each DI school, but also hands out a grade for each university based on the percentage of female coaches each university has for its women’s sports teams. In the most recent report, MSU received a C because women occupy only 46.2 percent (6-of13) of the available head coaching positions for women’s teams. There are seven schools from the Big Ten that received a higher grade from the Tucker Center than MSU, including Ohio State University and the University of Michigan. As a conference, women represent 46.2 percent (85-of-184) of head coaching positions for women’s teams in the Big Ten. “The good news is that the trend is going up,” Nicole LaVoi, co-director of the Tucker Center, said. “It’s going in the right direction, albeit very slowly. The other good news is we know from our
