HUDDERSFIELD, England -- American coach David Wagner has rejected interest from Bundesliga clubs to stay at Huddersfield Town and try to lead the club into the English Premier League.Halfway through the second-tier League Championship season, Huddersfield is among the four playoff places, just below the two automatic promotion spots.The 45-year-old Wagner, a former U.S. international, arrived at the northern English club in 2015 from Borussia Dortmund where he was reserve team coach.Now the German-born Wagner is attracting interest from Germanys topflight for jobs, with reports linking with a role at Wolfsburg.It is correct that there has been interest from a few Bundesliga clubs, Wagner said. They have obviously seen the way we are going at Huddersfield Town and the journey we have been on together over the last 12 months.Its important for me to clarify that my focus is on moving forward at Huddersfield Town. We want to develop what has been a good season so far into a great one, with the staff, players and fans together as one.Huddersfield is a three-time English champion but those successes all came between 1924 and 1926. By holding on to a coach who is delivering results, Huddersfield hopes to return to the top-flight.Huddersfield Town may not be a Bundesliga club or one that plays in European competition, but make no mistake -- we are a serious, proud, ambitious club with a rich history, Huddersfield chairman Dean Hoyle said.I think Davids ongoing commitment to Huddersfield Town is testament to this club and its standing. Hes turned down several advances from Bundesliga clubs during his time here, the latest coming very, very recently.Wagner, who worked under good friend and former Mainz teammate Juergen Klopp during his time at Dortmund, steered Huddersfield to safety in the Championship last season.The day will come when David moves on, as is the case with every manager or head coach at every club in world football, Hoyle said. However, that day is not upon us. Mike Bibby Kings Jersey .

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Melanie Balcomb discovered quickly after her tenure as Vanderbilts womens basketball coach ended that she needed to get back into the game -- and fast.I found out early in the process that Im not a stay-at-home mom, said Balcomb, the 53-year-old mother of two preschoolers. I started thinking about what I could do, what I should do to stay relevant.Three months since her dismissal after 14 seasons at Vanderbilt, Balcomb joined coach Dawn Staleys program at South Carolina as an offensive, analytics consultant. The position, director of coaching offensive analytics, is for one season.Well see how it goes after that, Balcomb said Monday.Balcomb felt her relationship with Vanderbilt fading the past couple of seasons. She had led the Commodores to 12 straight NCAA Tournament appearances since taking that job in 2002-03 before missing the field the past two years. Her only three losing marks in the Southeastern Conference came the past three seasons. Balcomb did not want to get into details about her dismissal, saying only: It was time.She wasnt sure what direction to take. She wanted to be home more for 5-year-old son Quincy and 4-year-old daughter Aleya and did not want the traveling another coaching position, head or assistant, might mean with recruiting.She considered TV -- Im pretty candid about stuff, she said -- with some colleagues and friends telling Balcomb she could be the Charles Barkley of the womens game if she stepped in as a game or studio analyst.Balcomb believes there will be time for that later.Almost as soon as she lost her job, Balcomb got offers to join prrograms as a consultant.dddddddddddd Minnesota asked if shed consider consulting on defense, but that side of the game didnt excite her. It was offense where she wanted to impact the game and found a like-minded coach in Staley, who remodeled the point guard position during her Hall-of-Fame playing career.For Staley, hiring Balcomb was a no-brainer after competing against her as coaching rivals both in the Atlantic 10 coaching rivals for two years (Balcomb at Xavier, Staley at Temple) and then for the last eight seasons in the SEC.There is always room to grow professionally, Staley said.Balcomb believes that, too. She expects to grow from her time around Staley, assistants Lisa Boyer, Nikki McCray-Penson and Fred Chmiel.Balcombs new job will keep her at home during the season, something she wanted.What wont change is Balcombs instincts. She said she wont step on any toes, yet understands there will be moments shell want to frantically blow a whistle to stop practice or shout out instructions during a game when something breaks down -- and must restrain herself.Balcomb wont coach on the floor during games and is unsure if shes allowed a spot on the bench this fall. Still, shes is excited about whats ahead and seeing if her time at South Carolina can be a templet for other long-term coaches seeking to stay in the game.Everybody said `Whats next? Whats your next chapter? said Balcomb, whod like to be a head coach again. I dont think I couldve planned this better. ' ' '
