Newlee rounds out UI women's basketball coaching staff
MOSCOW - Idaho women's basketball coach Jon Newlee has rounded out his coaching staff for the 2011-12 season with the addition of Kristi Zeller as assistant coach.
Zeller comes to Idaho from the University of Toledo, where she was a four-year letter winner on the women's basketball team from 2004-2008. After playing four years, Zeller spent one year as a student assistant for the Rockets and two as a graduate assistant.
Some of Zeller's duties in her three years on the staff at Toledo included overseeing video exchange, assisting with recruiting, coordinating community service, overseeing managers and assisting with summer camps.
"Kristi has already had a lot of in-office work as far as the coaching goes," Newlee said. "She has done a lot of the off-the-court things that goes into that position. There won't be a lot of teaching, she'll be able to come in and hit the ground running."
Zeller earned her master's degree in May of this year in liberal studies, and holds her bachelor's degree in social work. As a player for the Rockets, Zeller was a two-time Academic All-MAC selection and was selected as the team's Top Scholar Athlete.
