Jack resigns as assistant volleyball coach

David Jack, husband of IU women’s basketball coach Felisha Legette-Jack, resigned Thursday as IU assistant volleyball coach, according to an IU Department of Athletics press release.\nHe said he would remain with the team in some capacity but wanted to have more flexibility in his schedule.\n“With the busy travel of my wife ... I wanted to be around more and make myself available to our 9-year-old son, Maceo,” Jack said. “I also wanted to finish what I started and continue my educational process at IU.”\nHe said he would still attend practices and make as many road trips as possible.\nIU coach Sherry Dunbar said she understands why Jack is resigning, and she said he will still be key to the team’s future success.\n“David’s first priority is, understandably, his family,” Dunbar said in a statement. “His contributions to this program from the very beginning of the rebuilding process have been invaluable. We are not saying goodbye, however, as we fully intend his involvement with the program to continue. His on-court presence has been and will continue to be one of the keys to our future success.”\nJack brought playing and coaching experience to the team, as he was selected as an All-American eight times between 1990 and 2005. Jack was a member of the Jamaican National Team from 1985-1998, and spent some time as a captain.\nJack will still attend most practices and travel with the team whenever possible, according to the release. The search for his replacement is already underway.
