Utah State head women’s basketball coach Wesley Brooks announced the hiring of Quim (pronounced Kim) Gomez as assistant coach on Wednesday.
“We are very excited to have Quim join our staff,” Brooks said. “He is an excellent player development coach and will play an integral part in our international recruiting philosophy. Quim has worked over 20 years at the grassroots level in Spain. He is highly respected and well known in Spain.”

“I’m excited to join a program designed for growth, led by Coach Brooks, whose genuine vision for the game and commitment to developing global talent truly stand out,” Gomez said. “We are going to work hard and have fun. Go Aggies!”
