BOSTON -
Boston University women's basketball standout Christine Kinneary ('09) has been tabbed to join the coaching staff as its director of basketball operations in 2009-10, head coach Kelly Greenberg has announced. Kinneary recently wrapped up a successful four-year career as a Terrier and is a member of the all-time winningest class in program history. She holds career records in assists, games played and minutes at BU.
Some of her main duties will include handling the program's daily operations, coordinating its travel itineraries and the team's tape exchange.
"We are very excited that Christine Kinneary has joined our staff," said Greenberg. "Christine's personality and passion for the game will be a tremendous addition. She recently completed a remarkable career here at BU and we feel her work ethic and leadership will continue to make an impact on our program."
Kinneary, the Terriers' floor marshal, had a banner year at the point in 2008-09, breaking the program's all-time assist record (554) and moved into the America East Conference's top three all-time. She also owns BU records for minutes (3,902) and games played (125). At season's end she was rewarded with the America East's Fan's Choice Player of the Year accolade, garnering nearly half of the votes, as well as All-Conference First Team honors.
"I am extremely excited to be joining the women's basketball staff," said Kinneary. "After a very enjoyable and successful career here at BU, I could not be happier to continue to be a part of the women's basketball program. I look forward to this upcoming season and working under Coach Greenberg."
In 2008-09, Kinneary captained the Terriers to reach new heights as they broke a team record for wins in a season (25) and boasted an impressive 19-game winning streak, while also running the America East regular season table at 16-0. BU was one of just four teams in the nation that went unbeaten in its respective conference last year. She is a member of the all-time winningest class in program history with 78 career wins and a .624 winning percentage.
