(Ames, IA) – Iowa State women’s basketball coach Bill Fennelly announced that Rob Jenkins and Emily Hatfield will be Cyclone assistant coaches this upcoming 2024-25 season.
Rob Jenkins formally served as Iowa State’s graduate assistant just last season as he has now taken up the full-time position as an assistant for the Cyclones. He formally served as a graduate assistant for North Carolina and spent four seasons as a student assistant at the University of Wisconsin. His focus as an assistant coach this season will be on player development on the floor.
Emily Hatfield now enters her third season at Iowa State while formally serving as the Video and Recruiting Operations Director for the program from 2022-24. Hatfield formally graduated in 2018 from Western Carolina with a degree in health and physical education and played basketball at WCU. While playing at Western Carolina, she played in 87 games, 20 of which were starts, and was a stellar student in the classroom. She then went on to serve as the Director of Basketball Operations at Tennessee Tech for three years after her time at WCU and then came to Iowa State in 2022.
The internal moves by Iowa State helped to keep an integral core that led to a successful run at the NCAA Tournament just last season.
