MOREHEAD, Kentucky -- Brittany Parker, a Waterbury, Conn, native, has been named an assistant coach for the Morehead State Women's Basketball program.
Parker spent the last three seasons as an assistant coach at Niagara (N.Y.), where she was also video coordinator and community service coordinator.
"Brittany will be a great addition to our staff," MSU Head Coach Greg Todd said. "She has three full seasons as an assistant at the Division I level. She will be an excellent coach on the floor as well as an outstanding role model for our young ladies. Brittany's work ethic and experience will be a great asset to our program."
Prior to her stint with the Purple Eagles, Parker served two years as an assistant at Division II Fayetteville State (N.C.). While at FSU, Parker was responsible for post player development, scouting, travel, and community service. She helped the Broncos reach a 20-10 record, as well as claiming the 2010 CIAA Tournament championship.
Parker coached Deja Middleton, a center who was selected First Team All-CIAA and was named 2009-10 CIAA Defensive Player of the Year. She also coached Tiffany Haywood, a center who was named the 2010 CIAA Tournament MVP. She coached Victoria Rampado, the 2013-14 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Freshman of the Year, at Niagara.
"We are right in the middle of a great recruiting area here at MSU," Parker said. "I am really excited to be on this staff and at such a great school. Coach Todd and I have some mutual friends in the coaching world here in Kentucky, so through my relationships with them, I was able to have this opportunity here."
Along with graduating in 2009 with a bachelor's degree in accounting from St. Augustine (N.C.), Parker was also a four-year member of the basketball team.
