Discount Bears Jerseys .Y. -- Bills receiver Stevie Johnson has a bone to pick with the NFL schedule maker. Sean ORegans dream of running his own womens college basketball program finally tips off when James Madison opens its season against No. 13 Tennessee on Friday night.After nine years as a Dukes assistant, the game will be his first as their head coach.Its a pretty big change for me, moving a chair over, ORegan said of replacing Kenny Brooks, now the head man at Virginia Tech.The visit from the Lady Vols, the winningest womens team in NCAA history, was ORegans idea.I didnt feel like wading into the water. I felt like jumping in, he said.ORegan is one of 56 new head coaches in Division I basketball this year. Other notable changes include Stephanie White taking over at Vanderbilt, Jen Rizzotti at George Washington and Jim Crowley at Providence.There is an historical component to the game in Harrisonburg, Virginia. While the Lady Vols 1,299 victories are by far the most among all womens programs, the Dukes are a surprising fourth on the list with 1,045. The matchup is a good way to try to get the season off to a fast start, Lady Vols coach Holly Warlick said.I dont care what level it is, JMUs been proven to be a solid team, she said. Theyve gone to the tournament. They went to the tournament last year. I continue to say our schedule needs to get us ready for the tournament. I think this does just that. It will be a huge crowd. ... It will be a difficult game.ORegan expects Dukes fans to be out in force to kick off the season.Theres an exceptional buzz around the game and I think it will be fun for everyone involved, he said. The community here, they support football and they support mens basketball, but I really believe its a little bit of a womens basketball school here with the support we get. It hhelps us in so many ways.dddddddddddd. It helps us with winning games. It helps us with our players feeling relevant, and I think thats a big thing in womens basketball.More than crowd support, ORegan has returning talent. The Dukes went 27-6 last year, including 17-1 in the mid-major Colonial Athletic Association, and went to their fifth NCAA Tournament in the past nine years. And they did it despite not having redshirt senior Precious Hall all season because of injury.Hall, a 5-foot-8 guard, averaged 20.8 points as a junior, and is back at full strength, helping to minimize the losses of top scorers Jazmon Gwathmey (20.7 ppg), Ashley Perez (14.4 ppg), and point guard Angela Mickens.Year after year with what Kenny did here, it seems like you lose irreplaceable players every year, and you keep finding a way to replace them, ORegan said. The Precious piece is huge. ... You dont find players like that very often, and when you do, you rarely walk into a program where they have one there waiting for you.The Dukes also have ample size led by 6-2 2016 CAA Rookie of the Year and all-defensive selection Kayla Cooper-Williams (5.8 ppg, 8.3 rpg, 70 blocks) and 6-2 senior forward DaLishia Griffin (6.6 ppg, 9.5 rpg).ORegan would love a marquee victory to start his head coaching career, and Friday nights matchup with the Lady Vols not only affords the Dukes that opportunity, but a chance to quickly gain some national recognition.---AP sports writers Doug Feinberg in New York and Steve Megargee in Knoxville, Tennessee contributed.---Follow Hank on Twitter: www.twitter.com/hankkurzjr ' ' '
