Minium: ODU Conducted its First Coaching Search Entirely Online and While the Process was "Strange," the Result was a Great Hire

By Harry Minium

Old Dominion Athletic Director Wood Selig said it was the strangest press conference he'd ever been a part of.

And it surely was, given that when DeLisha Milton-Jones was introduced as ODU's new women's basketball coach, she was in Georgia, where she is staying with her Mom.
In part to make his point, Dr Selig announced to a dozen or so members of the media that he was wearing a dress shirt and tie.

"With shorts," he added.

No one saw his shorts because the press conference was held via "Zoom," a cloud-based service that allows you to see and hear people you are having a conversation with on a computer.
