Katie Galloway Burrows left her mark on the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women’s basketball program during her playing career. Now she will try to do the same from the bench.
Coach Wes Moore has hired Burrows as an assistant coach, replacing Amanda Eaton-Burge who is moving back to West Virginia to be closer to her family.
Burrows, who has coached the girls team at Ringgold High School for the past three years, is the first former Lady Mocs player to come back and coach alongside Moore.
“I actually had talked to her in the past about this position and the timing just hadn’t been right,” Moore said Wednesday. “This time it just seemed to fall into place, and I’m excited about having one of our former players (on the staff).”
Burrows, who married Nicholas Burrows last September, said Moore’s most recent offer came at the right time.
