Skyler Young has been named assistant women’s basketball coach announced by first-year Bradley women’s basketball head coach Mike Brooks Friday. Young joins the Braves after spending the last three years as an assistant coach at Ohio University.

At Ohio, Young worked primarily with the Bobcats post players, helping Kamille Buckner wrap up her career second in Mid-America Conference (MAC) history with 199 career blocks, while Tenishia Benson garnered First-Team All-MAC honors last year after leading Ohio in both scoring and rebounding in 2011-12.

A 2005 graduate of Western Michigan with a degree in business administration, Young started his collegiate coaching career with the Broncos during the 2005-06 season and spent three seasons as an assistant coach at his alma mater. Between the 2005-06 and 2007-08 seasons, Young helped coach the top two scorers in Western Michigan history, the 2006-07 Mid American Conference co-Player of the Year and four first-team all-MAC award winners.
