Penn State women's basketball hires new assistant coach
· Yahoo Sports
With Penn State women's basketball moving in a new direction under Tanisha Wright, her new staff is continuously growing to include many different members with many different experiences. Now, the staff includes a former head coach with tons of playing experience.
On Wednesday, the Lady Lions announced that they would be adding Octavia Blue, who brings with her a highly unique experience. Not only has she played at a high level collegiately, but also has international experience as well, playing in countries such as Israel, Greece, and Poland. She also was drafted in the first round of the WNBA draft by the Los Angeles Sparks, making history for the first time in her career as the first Miami Hurricane to get drafted. That would not be the last piece of history she made.

Throughout her coaching career, Blue has taken on many different roles, starting out at St. Thomas University, then moving to St. John's, before ultimately landing with her alma mater, and then getting a chance to be a head coach with the Kennesaw State Owls. While Blue ended her time with them with a losing record(61-89), she also became the fastest head coach in the program's history to reach 30 wins as well.
While Blue has had a crazy career, the Lady Lions hope that she will be a guiding force in the new era of Penn State women's basketball.
