FAYETTEVILLE — With the hopes of filling the vacancy on his coaching staff quickly, Mike Neighbors picked up his cell phone and shot a text to a familiar name.
One of Neighbors' former players at Washington, forward Chantel Osahor, was on the receiving end of that message. He later called Osahor to gauge her interest in the program's assistant coaching position previously held by Lacey Goldwire, who in late April parted for a similar job at Tennessee under former Lady Vols standout Kellie Harper.
"I really don't know what you mean," Osahor, 23, initially told Neighbors upon being offered the job.
