Indiana head women's basketball coach Teri Moren announced the hiring of Glenn Box as assistant coach for the Hoosiers on Wednesday. Box comes to Bloomington after spending the last two seasons at Saint Louis University in the same capacity.
 
"We're excited to welcome Glenn and his family to Indiana," Moren said. "Glenn has 17 years of coaching experience including a head coaching stint at Rend Lake. I have enjoyed watching Glenn out on the recruiting trail and have always admired his work ethic and attention to detail.   He will work with our perimeter players and oversee our defense. I love Glenn's energy and passion for the game. He will be a great compliment to Rhet and Janese. I know Glenn is excited to be here and grateful for the opportunity to represent the Hoosiers."  
 
Box spent the last two seasons at Saint Louis, his second stop at SLU as he was also an assistant with the program for two years in 2010-11 and 2011-12. 
 
In 2015-16, Box helped guide SLU to program records for overall wins (26-8), conference wins (13-3), overall winning percentage (.765), conference winning percentage (.813), home wins (24) and road victories (10) as the Billikens won a share of the program's first ever Atlantic 10 Conference championship.  Saint Louis was the No. 2 seed for the A-10 Championship, its highest seed ever, and SLU reached the semifinals of the conference tournament for the first time in school history.
 
Under Box's watch, SLU sophomore Jackie Kemph became the program's first player to earn All-America honors as she received honorable mention distinction from the Associated Press and the school's first conference Player of the Year. Kemph also was named to the A-10 All-Academic Team and earned Academic All-District laurels.
 
Along with Kemph, Box played a role in two additional Saint Louis student-athletes who earned all-conference honors in 2015-16.
 
"I am truly honored and privileged for the opportunity that Coach Moren has granted me," Box said. "I look forward to being a contributor to this fine program and am elated to be a Hoosier."
 
Prior to his second stint at Saint Louis, Box coached two years at Akron in 2012-13 and 2013-14. During his tenure, the Zips played in the 2014 NCAA Tournament after winning the Mid-American Conference Tournament championship in 2014.  In 2012-13, Akron won the East Division of the MAC going 14-4 in conference play.
 
At Akron, Box played a role in five players earning All-MAC honors in two seasons, including the school's first ever Mid-American Conference Player of the Year in 2013 in Rachel Tecca.
 
Before his first stop in Saint Louis in 2010, Box spent two years on the sideline as an assistant at Western Michigan. Prior to that, he spent six seasons at Rend Lake College, a junior college in Ina. Ill.  He spent his first three years at Rend Lake as an assistant with the men's program before moving on to become head coach of the women's team. 
 
A native of Cairo, Ill., Box posted a 64-31 record and downed four nationally ranked opponents during his three years as head coach. In 2007-08, Rend Lake went 21-11 and reached as high at No. 16 in the NJCAA national poll. He guided the Lady Warriors to a 24-8 ledger in 2006-07, the second-most victories in school history, while finishing in the top 25 in the country in scoring, field goal percentage, 3-point field goal percentage and free throw percentage. 
 
Box earned his associate's degree in elementary education at Rend Lake in 1996 and went on to obtain his bachelor's degree in criminal justice from Southeast Missouri State in 1998. He began his coaching career in the Cairo school district before entering the college ranks.  He will be joined in Bloomington by his wife, Angela, their sons, Darius and William, and daughter, Auna.
