Indiana basketball: What you need to know about assistant coach Amber Smith

Indiana women’s basketball announced the hiring of Amber Smith as an assistant coach on Monday in an official release.

Her hiring followed the departure of associate head coach Glenn Box to the head coaching job at Miami (OH).

Smith had spent the previous seven years in various roles at Kentucky, her alma mater, where she ranks sixth all-time in total assists and eighth in assists per game. The Wildcats advanced to the Elite Eight twice during her career in Lexington.

She went into coaching after her playing career came to an end, working as a graduate assistant at Tennessee before moving onto a full-time assistant role at Louisiana Tech.
