Breaking news -- MItchell joins UNT's hoops staff
A source close to the situation has told the Denton Record-Chronicle that UNT Hall of Famer Jalie Mitchell has joined the women's basketball team's coaching staff as an assistant.
Mitchell confirmed last week that she interviewed for the position. She was in meetings with head coach Shanice Stephens and the rest of the staff Monday afternoon.
UNT's staff of assistants will include former Wiley College head coach Johnetta Hayes, former Wichita State assistant coach Erika Lang-Montgomery and Mitchell.
Mitchell played for UNT from 1998-2002 and is the Mean Green's all-time leading scorer with 1,764 points.

I couldn't be happier that Jalie is joining the staff. This is the kind of stuff that says "big time" when a program can have past stars grow their careers at "home."
