Alumni report: USBL, coaching D-II

Dave Jannuzzi, a D3hoops.com second-team All-America selection in 2001, and Jen Nance, also a second-teamer in 2001, made news recently.

Jannuzzi, averaging 7.0 points and 2.0 rebounds in the early going of the USBL season, was the subject of a profile in the Wilkes-Barre (Pa.) Times-Leader not for his basketball prowess, but his bodybuilding career.

Seriously. This in addition to his full-time job with a financial services firm and his family. More in the paper.

By the way, Willie Chandler is averaging 18.5 points per game for the same team (Northeast Pennsylvania) in the same league. Chandler, a Misericordia alumnus, is the No. 2 scorer in Division III men’s basketball history.

Nance was named head coach at Division II Mars Hill. She had been the top assistant at Division II Ashland and was previously an assistant at Franklin. Nance played four seasons for Baldwin-Wallace. Her squad won three consecutive Ohio Athletic Conference championships as well as a pair of trips to the Elite Eight of the Division III NCAA Tournament. Nance earned a bachelors degree in 2001 as a double major in business and psychology.
