Babson College head women’s basketball coach Kate Barnosky announced the hiring of Kaylin Reen as the program’s new full-time assistant coach on Wednesday.
Reen comes to Babson after spending last season as an assistant women’s basketball coach at Johnson & Wales University. She was responsible for scouting and film breakdown, helping plan practices and workouts, recruiting and monitoring academics for the Wildcats.
In addition to coaching, Reen served as the manager of intramural and club sports at Johnson & Wales and was responsible for scheduling, supervising and coordinating all intramural programming. She also oversaw scheduling for club sports and was charged with managing multiple social media accounts.
“I am excited to add Kaylin to our coaching staff,” commented Barnosky. “With her passion for basketball, tireless work ethic and competitive nature she will be a great addition to our program. She has a contagious positive energy and will be an incredible mentor for our student-athletes.”
A four-year member of the women’s basketball team at Roger Williams University, Reen graduated in 2022 with a bachelor of science degree in math and secondary education. She appeared 45 games over three seasons and served as team captain during her senior campaign as the Hawks won a school record 25 games and captured CCC regular season and tournament championships on the way to making the program’s third NCAA Tournament appearance.
“I am thrilled to come to Babson and contribute to the legacy of athletic excellence,” said Reen. “I am grateful for my time at Johnson & Wales and am excited to bring that experience to this new role. I would like to thank Kate Barnosky for this opportunity— I look forward to learning from and working with her as part of such a committed team. I can’t wait to get started! Go Beavers!”
Reen, who is a native of Norwood, Mass., got her start in coaching as the girls’ varsity head coach at Highlander High School in Warren, R.I., in 2022-23. In addition to her college and high school experience, Reen currently serves as the co-director of the BNL Elite Girls AAU program.
