2002 team was one of the memorable teams along with the 1995 team in UConn history. The 2002 team was the second UConn team to have a perfect record. Elliott put the pressure on the 2002 team to match her 1995 team, and try to be undefeated to motivate them, and it worked. Tamika Williams (a player on the 2002 team) quipped, "Jamelle used to tell us that we never really won a national championship until we went undefeated. She always used to rub that in our faces. But that night we ran to her and rubbed it in her face." Elliott was also an assistant coach on the 2009 team that went undefeated 39–0. Cincinnati Bearcats On May 5, 2009, she achieved her goal of becoming a head coach by taking the Cincinnati Bearcats women's basketball job. She was UC women's head coach for nine seasons. “I’d like the opportunity to turn a program around or make it better like Coach Auriemma has done with his basketball program at UConn." Elliott was previously a candidate for jobs at Fairfield, George Washington and Penn State. On May 18, 2009 Marisa Moseley, an assistant coach at the University of Minnesota and former Boston University player was hired to replace Elliott as assistant coach for the Huskies. In March of 2018, Elliott was fired after nine seasons. Elliott was 113–162 during that time, but was coming off a 19–13 season in which the Bearcats played in the WNIT. University of Connecticut statistics Huskies of Honor induction On December 29, 2013, the University of Connecticut inducted two women's basketball team, the National Championship winning teams of 2002–03 and 2003–04 into the Huskies of Honor.
