The Roberts' Regime
Roberts begins her first year as Utah's head coach with her sights set on rebuilding the Utes into a Pac-12 Conference contender and a regular postseason participant.
Roberts, the 2014-15 West Coast Conference Co-Coach of the Year, champions an up-tempo type of game and in 13 seasons as a head coach, her teams have averaged 71.2 points per game and her squads at Pacific led or were second in scoring in its conference six times. Her last two teams at Chico State averaged 84.6 points per game and were in the top 10 nationally in scoring both seasons. The 2004-05 team was second in the country, averaging 88.6 points per game. The Wildcats were seventh in the NCAA in scoring in 2005-06 with 80.94 points per game.
Roberts comes to Utah after nine seasons as the head coach at the University of Pacific in Stockton, Calif., where she was a two-time conference coach of the year (2012-13 Big West and 2014-15 West Coast Co-Coach of the Year).
Dani Deals
Rodriguez has started 95 career games at point guard for the Utes. Her 316 career assists is 10th in school history and her career 38.3 3-point shooting percentage would be fifth in school history, but she remains 22 attempts shy of qualifying.
Last season, Rodriguez finished fourth in the Pac-12 with a 1.9 (105-55) assist-to-turnover ratio (59th in NCAA) and ninth in the Pac-12 with 3.6 assists per game (161st in NCAA). Her .359 3-point shooting percentage (23-64) was a team high. In league games only, Rodriguez was fourth in assist-to-turnover ratio (1.6, 54-34) and 10th in assists (3.2 apg). She had 13 double-figure-point games and led or tied for the team lead in assists 21 times and scoring three times.
New Digs
The brand new Jon M. & Karen Huntsman Basketball Facility opened on Oct. 1.
The glass-enclosed upper levels and rooftop terrace offer spectacular views of the Wasatch and Oquirrh Mountain ranges, the University of Utah campus, downtown Salt Lake City and the Great Salt Lake.
The ground floor entrances to the facility open into the Kem and Carolyn Gardner Legacy Hall. Banners bearing images of the former Ute basketball greats whose numbers have been retired hang from the 38-foot high ceiling. A historical pictorial of the men's and women's basketball programs line the walls alongside a massive 30-foot raised circle and feather logo. The 6,000-square foot hall is bathed in natural light from clearstory windows.
Legacy Hall accesses viewing balconies overlooking the men's and women's practice gymnasiums. Both gyms are configured to maximize the practice setting. The courts are identical and the main floor is an exact replica of that in the Jon M. Huntsman Center. The gymnasiums also contain a video editing area, courtside taping tables and cardio equipment.
Other features of level 1 include a shared space for the men's and women's basketball teams for pre-game meals and donor functions, as well as separate theaters complete with projection screens and whiteboard walls, and player lounges with six 55-inch televisions, custom-built furniture and gaming consoles. The locker rooms, which are 700-square feet in size, are also found on level 1. In addition to custom lockers, showers and restrooms, they boast in-ground hot and cold tubs that face 80-inch television screens.
The women's and men's basketball offices, recruiting lounges, conference rooms and coaches' lounges are located on levels 3 and 4, respectively. All assistant coaches have window offices and private balconies. Across the hall are offices for administrative and video staff, as well as meeting space.
"From a standpoint of taking care of student-athletes and showing them how important men's and women's basketball is at Utah, there's no better statement than this facility," Roberts said. "It is truly unbelievable and is going to be a huge asset for us in recruiting. We've been able to walk recruits through it already and they are picking their chin off of the ground the entire time. It's the definition of a `wow' factor."
