After rejoining the coaching staff on an interim basis midway through last season, Jamelle Elliot was named a permanent assistant coach for UConn women’s basketball on Wednesday.
“We are extremely excited to have Jamelle join our coaching staff,” Geno Auriemma said in a release. “Having the experience here as a player and coach, as well as head coaching experience for nine years, I can’t think of anyone that could bring more to our players, staff and university. Jamelle means the world to me personally and having her back is a dream come true.”
“She’s a great teacher, she’s a great communicator, she’s a great recruiter,” Auriemma said later on a Zoom call with reporters.
