FORMER PLAYER & ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH
Jamie Carey
One of the most interesting 2021 coaching selection stories is from the University of Montana. Jamie Carey is 1 of the 4 finalists.
Big 12 fans remember Carey as a star player with the Longhorns from 2002-05. She returned to Austin during the Karen Aston era for 4 years as a coach that included 2 years as associate head coach. Currently, she is associate head coach at the University of North Texas.
The 3 other finalists are Mark Campbell (Oregon), Brian Hollinger (Oregon State) and Mike Petrino (interim HC Montana).
