“Over the past three years, I have had the special privilege to be able to serve the Ball State Women’s Basketball program as the Director of Basketball Operations,” Morrissette said. “During this period, I have had the unique opportunity to see a program pour deeply into their student athletes and have witnessed a culture that cultivates integrity, loyalty, and togetherness. Coach Sallee’s investment into my growth in the operations of collegiate basketball has been tremendous and has contributed to a profound respect for what it means to be a coach. With that being said, I am excited to be stepping into a new role as the Ball State Women’s Basketball Assistant Coach. Chirp Chirp!”
