Jace Henderson enters her first season as the Director of Player Personnel, Development & Influence for the Nebraska women's basketball program in 2023-24, after being promoted to a full-time position on July 1, 2023.

 

Henderson spent the 2022-23 season at Nebraska as a graduate assistant manager, after joining the Huskers in August 2022.

Henderson served as an assistant coach at Montana in 2020-21, after spending 2019-20 as a graduate assistant with the Lady Griz.

She was also a standout student-athlete at Montana spending four years as a women's basketball player after competing in 15 matches as a setter for the volleyball team as a true freshman in 2014-15.

As a basketball senior in 2018-19, Henderson earned second-team All-Big Sky Conference honors by averaging 12.0 points, 8.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists. She hit a Big Sky-best 56.1 percent of her field goal attempts as a senior.

Henderson joined the Lady Griz in Missoula after an outstanding career as a multi-sport athlete at Billings High School. She was the 2012 and 2013 Gatorade Montana Volleyball Player of the Year - the first two-time winner in state history. She led Billings to back-to-back state volleyball titles as a junior and senior. She also finished in the top four in throws three times at the Class AA state track and field meet.  Her father, Brian, was the women's basketball coach at Rocky Mountain College in Billings for 13 seasons.

She earned her bachelor's degree in organizational communication from Montana in 2019, before claiming her master's degree in public administration in 2022. She is pursuing a master's degree in educational administration at Nebraska.

I thought the hope was to add Ann Prince (Elkhorn coach) to the staff to help with getting her daughter Brit to UNL.  Is there still another position to fill with the new rules?

[HUD]

Yes there is still another coaching position available.  Earlier this year the NCAA added two coaching positions to men and women's BB.

 

In the one they just filled with the title "Director of Player Personnel, Development and Influence" I wonder what the area of Influence covers.
