EVANSTON, Ill. – Northwestern women's basketball head coach Joe McKeown announced two additions to his staff Tuesday. Amenemopé McKinney will serve as the Director of Player Development, and Oliver Goss will serve as the Assistant Director of Basketball Operations.
McKinney spent the past two years as a graduate assistant at TCU. The Horned Frogs reached the semifinals of the WNIT tournament last season, their deepest WNIT run in program history. The Frogs spent multiple weeks in the top-25.
"I am extremely excited to join the Northwestern family and have the opportunity to work with Coach McKeown, the staff, and the team" said McKinney.
Prior to her coaching career, McKinney played point guard at Rice from 2008-12. The Owls reached the postseason in 2011 and 2012.
After graduating, McKinney worked as a management consultant for four years, specializing in human capital strategy and finance/risk strategy. McKinney also founded Ambytion Sports Enterprises and authored the book "Just A Game."
McKinney earned her bachelor's degree in electrical engineering and an MBA from TCU in 2018.
Goss spent the past year as a recruiting coordinator for Next College Student Athlete, a college athletic recruiting network.
Prior to that, he served as a graduate assistant for Chris Collins and the Northwestern men's basketball program from 2015-17. The 2016-17 season saw the Wildcats advance to their first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance.
"I'm very excited to join the women's basketball staff at Northwestern University and am thankful for the opportunity to work with the amazing individuals within the Wildcat community," said Goss. "Northwestern is truly a special place and rejoining my NU family is a dream come true."
Goss spent two years as Director of Toledo Drive AAU Basketball.
