Mittie Adds Murren to Administrative Staff
Jun 14, 2018 | Women's Basketball
MANHATTAN, Kansas – Kansas State women's basketball head coach Jeff Mittie announced the addition of Sadie Murren as the program's Director of Basketball Administration.
Murren is responsible for a number of administrative duties within the program including: coordinating staff and team travel with regard to air/bus/rental vehicle/hotel/meals/travel, money and budget management, traveling with the team to manage all away game logistics, manage all home game logistics, on-campus recruiting logistics, training table logistics, camp/clinic budgets, daily office operations, and direct program contact for all other KSA departments.
"In looking for that position, we wanted someone that had been on both the basketball side in terms of recruiting and someone that had also been on the operations side. I wanted both those experiences," stated Mittie about the addition of Murren.
"Ultimately, everybody in our office recruits to some degree whether that is on-campus visits or talking to parents and setting things up. We are all recruiters. I wanted to add somebody that had good administrative experience, had been used to running the operational side of things but also someone that had touched areas of recruiting."
Prior to her arrival in Manhattan, Murren spent the 2017-18 season as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Omaha. While with the Mavericks, Murren was responsible for organizing and facilitating all the recruiting activities for the program including managing the recruiting budget and handling the logistics of on- and off-campus visits.
Before the 2017-18 season, Murren helped head coach Brittany Lange as Omaha's director of basketball operations in the 2016-17 season. In her first season at Omaha, Murren was responsible for the hotel and travel arrangements for the Mavericks while also planning and executing the Omaha summer camp promotions, registrations and budgets.
In the spring of 2018, Murren graduated from Omaha with her Masters of Business in business administration.
A native of Colon, Nebraska, Murren started her collegiate playing career at Nebraska in 2012-13, where she played in 43 games over two seasons. As a Husker, she was named the 2014 Nebraska Student-Athlete HERO Leadership Award winner for women's basketball and an inaugural member of the Tom Osborne Citizenship Team.
Murren then transferred to Wayne State for her final two years. In her junior season (2014-15), she started all 34 games at point guard averaging 7.8 points and 3.4 assists as the Wildcats advanced to the Northern Sun Tournament Semifinals and earned All-Tournament honors. In her final season at Wayne State, Murren started all 29 games at point guard averaging 9.7 points and 4.9 assists while being named the team's Most Valuable Player. She ranks third all-time with 142 assists in a season.
Murren received her bachelor's degree in business administration in May 2016. She earned the NSIC Myles Brand All-Academic with Distinction Award and was named to the NSIC Winter All-Academic Team.
