King joined the Cardinals for the 2023-24 season, helping Ball State to 28 wins for the first time in program history and a bid to the first-ever postseason WBIT. King played a role in the program's first-ever consecutive MAC regular-season titles in 2025 and 2026. Her impact was also felt during the 2024-25 campaign, which saw Ball State capture its second MAC Tournament championship and face Ole Miss in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament.
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.
