Illinois State assistant women's basketball coach Jessica Keller calls out instructions from the bench during the Redbirds' 78-66 Missouri Valley Conference victory over nationally ranked Missouri State on Feb. 27, 2020, at Redbird Arena.
LEWIS MARIEN, THE PANTAGRAPHNORMAL – Jessica Keller, an Illinois State women’s basketball assistant coach for all five years of head coach Kristen Gillespie’s tenure, has left the Redbirds for a similar job at Nebraska.
Gillespie has filled that vacancy with the hiring of former Abilene Christian assistant coach Drew Cole.
“Jess was the first person I hired. She has been such an integral part of rebuilding this program and getting it turned around,” Gillespie said Tuesday.
