Kellee Barney
Assistant Coach

Pacific Northwest native and veteran collegiate coach Kellee Barney returns to Oregon State for her second season as an assistant coach with the Beavers.
In her first season with Oregon State, Barney helped guide the club to its finest season in more than a decade. She served a vital role in the further development of the team's post players, including the continued development of Tiffany Ducker, who ended her OSU career in the top 10 in rebounding, field goal percentage and blocks. 

Barney also played a vital role in the early development of Kirsten Tilleman, who, in her first season with the Beavers, started a majority of the Pac-10 season as a true freshman. Tilleman improved as the year wore on, finishing multiple games with 10 rebounds while playing upwards of 30 minutes a game for one of the most improved teams in the nation. 

Barney has a wealth of collegiate experience and since coming to the program prior to the 2008-09 season, has been a big influence on the club's roster. 

A native of Leavenworth, Wash., she brings to Oregon State 24 years of coaching experience at the collegiate level prior to her appointment with the Beavers, most recently serving as the assistant head coach at Arizona. During her six-year tenure with the Wildcats, Arizona reached the NCAA Tournament three times, winning its first postseason game since 2000 in 2005. The Wildcats also shared the 2003-04 Pac-10 regular season championship with Stanford.

While at Arizona, Barney's players earned two Pac-10 Freshman of the Year awards - Dee-Dee Wheeler and Shawntinice Polk. Her players earned seven All-Pac-10 awards and five were named to the Pacific-10 Conference All-Tournament Team. Polk was named to an All-America honorable mention team four times during her career while Wheeler earned two All-America honorable mention selections in 2004-05.

Four players coached by Barney - Wheeler, Polk, Aimee Grzyb and Natalie Jones - are members of Arizona's 1,000-points club of which there are 15 all-time.

Prior to her tenure at Arizona, Barney was already an established collegiate coach. From 1994-2000, she was the head coach at Gonzaga in Spokane, Wash. While there, she produced two first team All-West Coast Conference selections, six honorable mention All-WCC choices and seven players who earned WCC All-Academic honors. Her 1998-99 team placed in the top 10 nationally for overall team grade-point average.

The stint at Arizona was not Barney's first in the Pacific-10 Conference as she spent nine years at Washington State, first as an assistant coach, then as associate head coach during the 1993-94 season. The Cougars' last visit to the NCAA Tournament, 1991, occurred during Barney's tenure.
Her tenure at Washington State also helped her gain International coaching experience. Barney was an assistant coach for the Pac-10 All-Star Team during its tour of Hungary in 1989 and Belgium and France in 1992.

Oregon State will mark her second coaching stint in the state of Oregon as she began her coaching career at Portland State from 1983-85, where she served as the Vikings' recruiting coordinator for current Portland head coach Jim Sollars.

Barney has also gained athletic exposure outside of the coaching ranks. Prior to her tenure at Arizona, she spent two years as a program manager for the People To People Sports Ambassador Program in Spokane. During her two years with the program, she shared her personal experiences as an athlete and a coach with more than 10,000 families across the United States in order to encourage young athletes to expand their leadership through sports and International travel.
Barney earned a bachelor of science degree in sociology from Idaho in 1983. She played for the Vandals from 1982-83 and was part of the 1982 squad that went 27-5.

She also played at Wenatchee Valley College for Sollars from 1980-81, winning state championships both years.

She and her husband, Michael, have a 12-year-old son, Jarryd.

Krista Reinking
Assistant Coach

Krista Reinking enters her fifth season with the Oregon State women’s basketball team, and has been an integral piece in the building of the program.

Reinking played a key role in helping guide the Beavers to one of their finest seasons in
2008-09. As the coach for the team’s guard and perimeter players, Reinking oversaw a trio of players who had excellent seasons. Reinking served as Mercedes Fox-Griffin’s coach for each of the guard’s four seasons in Corvallis, some of the most successful in the program’s history. Last season, Fox-Griffin earned All-Pac-10 Defensive Team honors and was an All-Pac-10 honorable mention. Fox-Griffin left the program with 491 assists, third-most in OSU history.

Talisa Rhea is another of Reinking’s protégés and the guard has responded by becoming perhaps the top three-point shooter in the Pac-10. Rhea, who left high school primarily shooting from inside the three-point line, is second in school history after hitting on 131 shots from beyond the three-point line in her two-year OSU career.

Brittney Davis played for OSU for two years, and in 2008-09, her final year under Reinking’s tutelage, was named to the All-Pac-10 Third Team while leading the Beavers in scoring with 14.5 points per game. Davis scored in double figures in her last 17 games.

Reinking, a former All-Big Ten Conference selection, has made her mark on the OSU program in a short time by developing guards and versatile shooters who give the Beavers an extremely potent dimension to their offense.

In 2007-08 alone, Reinking’s tutelage helped produce an All-Pac-10 Third Team member in Fox-Griffin, an All-Pac-10 Freshman performer in Rhea and two players, Brittney Davis and Ashley Allen, who led the Beavers in scoring.

In the two years prior, Reinking had the opportunity to work with Casey Nash, who ended her career with 1,163 points, and is one of 15 players in OSU history to top the 1,000-point mark. In 2006-07, her senior year, Nash averaged 20 points per game to go along with 6.5 rebounds en route to an All-Pac-10 First-Team honor.

Reinking worked with Fox-Griffin for the 2006-07 season, and helped turn the guard into one of the top players in the Pacific-10 Conference. Fox-Griffin matured into a leader, and averaged 6.4 assists per game, good for eighth nationally and first in the Pac-10. Fox- Griffin also became a sharpshooter for the Beavers, averaging 9.5 points per game.

In the first season after her arrival, Reinking helped build the confidence of Beaver senior guard Anita Rivera, who more than doubled her scoring average from the previous year and finished the season ranked fifth in the Pacific-10 Conference for minutes played per game. Reinking’s tutelage of Oregon State’s guards and perimeter players, including point guard Mandy Close, who averaged 13.3 points and 4.8 assists per game, helped lead the Beavers to a berth in the Women’s National Invitation Tournament during the 2005-06 campaign.

Off the court, Reinking has played an invaluable role with the team’s recruiting. She is skilled at finding and evaluating talent. She’s well aware of what type of players that will excel for the Beavers. Reinking is adept at being able to shape that talent into quality players in the Oregon State system.

Reinking came to Corvallis in September of 2005 after serving as the Administrative Associate for women’s basketball at The University of Texas, working directly with Hall of Fame coach Jody Conradt.

A basketball letterwinner, Reinking was a two-time All-Big Ten honoree as a guard at the University of Illinois and helped lead the Fighting Illini to a pair of NCAA Sweet 16 appearances and the Big Ten Conference championship. LaVonda Wagner helped coach Reinking for four years, when she served as assistant for Illinois.

Familiar with Gill Coliseum as a player, Reinking was named the 1996 Gazette- Times Classic Most Valuable Player as Illinois knocked off Oregon State.

She finished her career with 1,215 points – the 14th highest total in Illinois history. As a sophomore in 1995-96, Reinking averaged 15.9 points and 4.3 rebounds per game while dishing out a team-leading 109 assists. Reinking is Illinois’ second all-time leading career 3-point shooter with 194 treys. She also formerly held the school’s single season 3-point record with 74.

After earning her bachelor’s degree in Leisure Studies with an emphasis in Sport Management in 1998, Reinking served as an assistant under Hall of Fame coach Theresa Grentz at Illinois, sharing the sidelines with Wagner as well. In 2001, Reinking earned her Master’s degree in Educational Organization and Leadership, while emphasizing in Higher Education.

Reinking ranks in the Illinois Top-25 in five different career statistical categories (points, 3-point field goals made, games played, steals, field goals and free throws made).

Anthony Turner
Assistant Coach

Anthony Turner returns for his second season as an assistant coach at Oregon State, just a year after helping guide the Beavers to one of their finest campaigns in school history.

Turner moved to Corvallis from UNLV prior to last season, and immediately made an impact with the team's post players. He mentored Tiffany Ducker in her senior year, and watched as the center averaged 7.0 rebounds per game, including a season-high 17 against Washington State.

Turner also had a chance to tutor Kirsten Tilleman during her freshman campaign. The former Montana State Player of the Year finished the year with 18 starts and 4.1 rebounds per game. She had at least five rebounds in seven of her last 18 games, which were all starts. Tilleman had 10 rebounds twice, the second time coming against New Mexico in the Women's National Invitation Tournament.

The 2009-10 season will be Turner's 10th as a coach, and the second after leaving UNLV. He made a big mark with the Lady Rebels.

In the six years he spent in Las Vegas, Turner made a lasting mark on the Lady Rebels program. He tutored two All-American Honorable Mention players in RanDee Henry and Sherry McCracklin, who both earned the honor during the 2003-04 season. Henry earned Mountain West Conference Newcomer of the Year honors that season while McCracklin was named Co-Defensive Player of the Year honors. Both were also selected to the All-MWC First-Team in 2003-04; McCracklin earned a third-team selection the previous season while Henry was named to the second-team in 2004-05.

An excellent recruiter, Turner assisted with all aspects of recruiting, both on campus and off, and garnered commitments from several top 50 recruits. He recruited Sequoia Holmes, who recently signed a contract with the WNBA's Houston Comets. Holmes ended her career at UNLV as a three-time All-MWC selection, just the fifth different player in school history to accomplish the feat.

A two year-starter at UNLV was Shamela Hampton, a center, who, under Turner's tutelage, averaged better than 12 points per game while averaging 6.6 rebounds last season as a junior. She earned All-MWC Third-Team honors the past two seasons.

All told, Turner mentored players who earned Mountain West Conference Newcomer of the Year honors, the MWC Defensive Player of the Year, two league scoring leaders, a MWC rebounding leader and a league steals leader as well as numerous All-Conference honorees.

During his tenure at UNLV, the Lady Rebels made four WNIT appearances, including a trip to the final game in 2004. The 2003-04 team posted 26 wins, tying it for third-most in school history.
Prior to joining the staff at UNLV, Turner was an assistant coach at San Diego State from 2000-02. While there, he assisted with the day-to-day operations of the program as well as with recruiting, scouting reports, film exchange, court instruction and conditioning. His primary focus was the team's guard play and he directed the Aztecs' summer camps.

From 1999-2000, Turner worked with the Mile High Magic, an AAU club based out of Denver. With the Magic, he coordinated tryouts and assisted with game-planning and strategies.

A graduate of Colorado with a degree in English, Turner worked as a student assistant with the Buffaloes from 1997-99, assisting with scouting reports, editing practice tapes and keeping statistics during games.

Turner married the former Jaime Oltman on August 31, 2008, and the couple had their first children (twins) in December.
