Jenny Boucek '88 to Coach WNBA's Seattle Storm
Harding Academy class of 1988 alumna Jenny Boucek was hired Tuesday as coach of the WNBA's Seattle Storm.
Boucek, 41, has spent the past four seasons with the Storm — as associate head coach under Brian Agler, now coach of the Los Angeles Sparks, in 2014 and as an assistant from 2011-13.
"It's an honor to be part of a world-class sports franchise," Boucek said. "Seattle has a great championship legacy, and I am excited to team up with (Storm president/general manager) Alisha (Valavanis) and our ownership group as we enter the next era of Storm basketball."
Seattle finished last in the Western Conference in 2014 with a 12-22 record.
Boucek scored more than 2,000 point during her high school career at USN (1989-1992) where her jersey was retired during a ceremony at their school last month.
