Ball State 12th-year head women's basketball coach Brady Sallee has added a new addition to his coaching staff with the hiring of assistant coach Mariah King.

"I am very excited to add Mariah to our staff," Sallee said. "Her experiences playing for me and as a pro will add an incredible perspective for the current and future players in our program. Her successful playing career speaks for itself, and I look forward to watching her coaching career take off."

King spent the 2022-23 season as the assistant coach at her alma mater Eastern Illinois, where she was a student-athlete from 2009-13. She played under the tutelage of Sallee for three seasons.

As a player, King was a three-time Ohio Valley Conference Second Team recipient (2011, 2012 & 2013) and earned OVC Player of the Week honors on three separate occasions.

For her career, she scored 1,440 points, pulled down 654 total rebounds and played in 128 games for the Panthers.

After graduation, King spent nine seasons playing professional basketball in Europe.

"So grateful I have this opportunity," King said. "It is a chance to do something different and make a difference."

King joins fellow Ball State assistant coaches Casey Morrissette and Moriah Monaco along with associate head coach Audrey Spencer for the upcoming 2023-24 season.
