Marcilina Grayer is an eligibility expert for college sports. So she knows that only five months remain in the phase of her life where she was labeled a rising star, even before being promoted as the Salt Lake Community College women’s basketball coach.
The “Thirty Under 30” list published by the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association in 2018, featuring mostly Division I assistants, endorsed a coach who’s known for being driven to get where she wants to go, ahead of the crowd.
She could have made a “Twenty-five Under 25” ranking when she coached a junior college track and field team, driving a van from the campus in a tiny California mountain town and carrying thousands of dollars in cash for travel expenses.
