Jon Newlee (February 26, 1960)〔 is the head women's basketball coach at the University of Idaho. He previously served for six years as the head women's basketball coach at Idaho State University. Newlee was hired as the ninth head coach in University of Idaho women’s basketball history on April 15, 2008. The 2009-10 season will mark Newlee's second year at Idaho, his 26th season as a collegiate coach and his 11th overall as a head coach. His career has seen stops at Saint Mary’s (CA), Southwestern JC, Texas-San Antonio, Southern Methodist, Hawai’i and, most recently, at Idaho State. Overall, teams he coached compiled a 447-272 (.622) record and teams on which he was the head coach compiled a 141-128 (.524) record. Teams he coached have qualified for post-season play in 13 of the last 17 seasons. == At Idaho == In just his first season at Idaho, Newlee led the Vandal women to their best season in Western Athletic Conference play, as the team went 13-15 overall and 10-6 in the WAC. In the three years of WAC play prior to Newlee's arrival, Idaho had a combined record of 11-37 and had never finished higher than seventh in the league standings. In 2009, Idaho went 10-6, swept eventual champion Fresno State during the regular season, earned the program's first win over Hawai`i, won back-to-back conference road games for the first time since joining the WAC, swept four WAC opponents and tied for third place in the conference. Newlee was the clear-cut choice for WAC Coach of the Year, as voted by the league's coaches, at the end of the season. It was the third such honor of his career, as he also earned Big Sky Coach of the Year in 2006 and co-Big Sky Coach of the Year in 2004. Idaho's turnaround was significant on the national level, as well as the conference level. Idaho's final NCAA RPI ranking at the end of the 2008 season was 322 out of 328 schools. In 2009, the Vandals jumped 96 spots to 226 in the final ratings, which was tied as the 19th-largest RPI jump among NCAA teams. Idaho's 9.5-game improvement was the seventh-best in the NCAA in 2009. What was even more impressive about Newlee's first-year success was that he did it with a rotation of just six players, and with a team that only had one true post player. Despite the slim roster, there were still plenty of honors to go around. Yinka Olorunnife earned Second-Team All-WAC and WAC All-Defensive Team mention, Derisa Taleni earned WAC Newcomer of the Year and Second-Team All-WAC honors and Shaena-Lyn Kuehu was voted to the WAC All-Freshman Team. Newlee's team was one of the most disciplined in the NCAA, as the Vandals led the WAC and ranked 15th in the NCAA with just 14.1 personal fouls per game, and ranked 90th out of 328 schools in turnovers per game. The Vandals also played a feisty brand of defense and came within 0.8 of breaking Idaho's 19-year-old scoring defense record with a 59.5 defensive scoring average.〔(Jon Newlee Biography )〕 On January 1, 2015, Jon Newlee’s return to Pocatello was spoiled by Idaho State. His Vandals lost to Idaho State, his former team, 71-50. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jon Newlee」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
