NORMAL — Illinois State women’s basketball coach Kristen Gillespie completed her coaching staff by hiring assistant Scott Gillespie, her younger cousin who had been an assistant men’s coach at IUPUI in Indianapolis.
“Scott is a true student of the game and has one of the best young coaching minds in the country,” Kristen Gillespie said in a news release. “I’m extremely excited he is making the transition over from the men’s game.
"His knack for recruiting and skill development will pay huge dividends for us. His passion for the game is contagious.”
Scott Gillespie spent the last three seasons working on Jason Gardner’s staff with the Jaguars, who increased their win total each season.
