Molly Miller has been hard at work, landing several impact players via the transfer portal already, but also in building her first ever coaching staff at Arizona State. And now, the staff is fully assembled.
The staff is assembled!

Introducing @MollyMiller33's coaching staff 🔱 pic.twitter.com/dJIgRinbc3
Perhaps the most notable name on Miller's staff is Stephanie Norman, an Arizona State alum. Norman had been the assistant head coach at Louisville for the past 18 years, but caught everyone by surprise when she left to come back to her alma mater under Miller. Norman had been considered for the head job last time around, when Natasha Adair was ultimately hired.
Bringing tons of high-level experience and immediate credibility to Tempe, Norman will serve as Miller's associate head coach and director of basketball strategy.
Also joining as an associate head coach is a familiar face for Miller: Jason Glover. The past two seasons saw Glover working on Miller's staff at Grand Canyon, playing a particularly pivotal role in the offense. A Grand Canyon alum, Glover also has coaching experience at San Diego State, USC, and even in the NBA; he worked as a player development assistant for the Timberwolves in the 2010-2011 season.
Daniel Barber joins the staff after two seasons with Penn State - where he coached, among others, recent Arizona State transfer Gabby Elliott. Prior to Penn State, Barber had spent six seasons with Clemson as their recruiting coordinator. He's been regarded as one of the top up-and-coming coaches in women's basketball, with a strong recruiting background.
Miller rounded out her staff with three young coaches with bright futures in Abi Olajuwon, Daejah Bernard, and Ashleigh Lopez.
Olajuwon is the daughter of Hall of Famer Hakeem Olajuwon. She played collegiately for Oklahoma and was drafted by the Chicago Sky back in 2010. She comes to Arizona State after working as an assistant coach for the WNBA's Connecticut Sun, but had coached at TCU before then.
Bernard and Lopez both follow Miller from Grand Canyon. Bernard actually played under Miller at Drury College, Miller's alma mater, and first served at Grand Canyon as the director of basketball operations before being elevated to an assistant coach this past season.
Lopez, meanwhile, came to Grand Canyon as a graduate assistant after working with UT-Rio Grande Valley. The Texas native was elevated to assistant coach this past year, and now follows Miller to Tempe.
All in all, Miller's coaching staff is an impressive mix of some of the top names in the nation and a measure of continuity from Miller's very successful run at Grand Canyon. With the staff now fully set, all attention turns towards filling out a roster that was almost completely bare by the time Miller was hired.
