AMES, Iowa – Iowa State women’s basketball coach Bill Fennelly was named as an assistant coach for the 2008 USA Basketball Under 18 Women’s National Team on Thursday. Fennelly will serve on a staff with head coach Carol Owens (Northern Illinois) and Terri Mitchell (Marquette).
“To me there is no greater honor in our profession than coaching for USA Basketball,” Fennelly said. “I am excited to represent Iowa State and the USA in such a prestigious event. I have great respect professionally and personally for Carol and Terri. I hope to add to a great staff that is already in place.”
The 12-member roster for the USA U18 National Team was chosen earlier in June after three days of trials in Colorado Springs, Colo. The team will train in Colorado July 10-16, and in Washington D.C., July 17-20, before departing for the 2008 FIBA Americas U18 Championships for Women, July 23-27, in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Fennelly served as the head coach of the U.S. team for the World University Games in South Korea in 2003, and was an assistant coach on the USA Women's Olympic Festival staff in 1994.
