Purdue women’s basketball head coach found herself with an opening on her staff after longtime assistant coach, for both Gearlds and Versyp, Beth Couture announced her retirement this month. Gearlds wasted no time in finding a name that will be familiar to all Boilermaker basketball fans. Former Purdue standout, assistant coach, and former Marquette assistant coach Kelly Komara will be added to the Boilermakers staff.
You might remember Kelly Komara as a key piece in Purdue’s national title run from 1999 as well as their runner-up finish in 2001. Komara was one of the best guards to ever play at Purdue and the numbers and her awards back that up.
