Indiana Women’s Basketball Associate Head Coach Glenn Box Named Head Coach at Miami (OH)

Indiana women’s basketball associate head coach Glenn Box has accepted the head coaching position for the Miami of Ohio Redhawks women’s basketball team.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Monday afternoon, the Indiana women's basketball program announced associate head coach Glenn Box has been named the Miami (OH) women's basketball head coach after seven seasons with the Hoosiers.

After several coaching stints at the junior college and Division I collegiate levels, Box landed an assistant coaching position at Saint Louis University in his second stint with the Billikens where he spent two seasons before joining the Hoosiers' staff in the 2016-17 season.

As a Hoosier, Box helped lead the team to seven seasons of winning 20 plus games. This included seven postseason berths as five were NCAA Tournament appearances. In those big dances, Indiana advanced to the second round each time, the Sweet 16 twice (2021, 2022) and the Elite Eight once in the 2020-21 season. 

Box's direction along with that of head coach Teri Moren led 11 Hoosier guards to earn a grand total of 16 All-Big Ten honors including four consecutive first team awards for former point guard Grace Berger, who was the program's first WNBA first round draft pick in program history this past April.

Just last season, Box coached the Hoosiers to its first Big Ten regular season title in 40 years and their first NCAA Tournament one-seed in program history. The Hoosiers set a new all-time win record with 28 victories and tied for the most conference wins at 16.

Box will head to Oxford, Ohio, which is 135 miles away from Bloomington, to build up the RedHawks program that hasn't seen a winning season since the 2018-19 campaign. Box's experience with NCAA Tournament appearances should fare well for a team that's only played in the tournament once back in 2008 where it lost to Louisville in the first round.

Many Hoosiers including Berger credited Box for their improvement on the court throughout last season, especially on the defensive side of the ball. The seven-year coaching vet will be missed as a replacement has not yet been announced.
