Jacie Hoyt is in her third season at Kansas State and her second as an assistant coach.
She is one of the nation's youngest, up and coming coaches, as evidenced by her recognition as a member of the 2017 Women's Basketball Coaches Association 30 Under 30 list. She has shown an ability to help elevate programs with her recruiting efforts and on court successes in every position. She has helped the Wildcats to back-to-back postseason appearances making it to the second round of the NCAA tournament in 2016 and second round of the WNIT in 2015.
In her two seasons as an assistant coach on head coach Jeff Mittie's staff, Hoyt has been a key factor in signing consecutive top 30 recruiting classes. Hoyt has quickly established herself as one of the nation's most tireless workers on the recruiting trail and has been a diligent recruiter throughout the Midwest, West and Southwest.
On the court, Hoyt works with the perimeter players and has mentored the front court as well as assisted in scouting. Hoyt has played a big part in the development of Kindred Wesemann, who earned 2016 All-Big 12 Second Team honors and Big 12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year as a junior, and ranks fifth in the Kansas State record books for career 3-point field goals made. Hoyt mentored Wesemann to become the 40th player in program history with 1,000 or more points and the 15th player in school history with 1,000 or more points, 250 or more rebounds and 250 or more assists.
Hoyt served as the Wildcats’ coordinator of recruiting operations on Mittie’s inaugural staff in 2014-15. She was responsible for coordinating all of K-State’s day to day recruiting operations, on campus recruiting operations, and served as the liaison between AAU and high school coaches and young players across the state of Kansas and nationwide. She also handled the K-State women’s basketball summer camps.
Hoyt returned to the state of Kansas after a three-year stint at Nevada, with the last two seasons as an assistant coach on Jane Albright’s staff. As an assistant coach with the Wolfpack, Hoyt’s responsibilities included scouting, recruiting, point guard development, scout team management, and summer camp coordinator. Prior to her appointment as an assistant coach, Hoyt served as the team’s director of basketball operations during the 2011-12 season.
In her prep career, Hoyt was a three-time all-state performer in volleyball and basketball at Hoxie High in Hoxie, Kansas. On the track, Hoyt was crowned a state champion in multiple track events.
As a senior for Hoxie, the first team all-class selection averaged 28.4 points per game, 7.4 assists per game, 6.3 rebounds per game and 6.1 steals per game while playing for one of the most successful girls basketball coaches in the state of Kansas, her mother Shelly Hoyt.
Hoyt had one of the most prolific scoring careers in Kansas high school history, scoring 2,016 points in just three years after missing her entire freshman season with an injury. Her career average of 26.6 points per game lands her sixth in career scoring average for the state of Kansas.
Hoyt’s college career, as she was recruited and played for Albright when she was the head coach at Wichita State, was slowed by injuries. She played only two of her six NCAA eligible years as a freshman and sophomore. Despite sitting out the first two years of her college career, Hoyt went on to start every game as a freshman and sophomore at Wichita State.
As a freshman, Hoyt led the team in assists, was second in free throw attempts and fourth in scoring. As a sophomore, she was named team captain, along with winning the Iron Shocker Award. Hoyt continued to distribute the ball to her teammates, as she ranked fourth in the Missouri Valley Conference in assists, along with averaging a positive assist/turnover ratio.
In addition to her success on the court, Hoyt was also a standout in the classroom, landing on the Missouri Valley Conference, Athletic Director, and Dean’s honor rolls from 2006-08 with the Shockers. Hoyt graduated Cum Laude with a degree in general studies from Wichita State in 2009.
After graduating from Wichita State, she went on to earn her Master of Science in communication from Fort Hays State University in 2011, where she served as the women’s basketball team’s graduate assistant on head coach Tony Hobson’s staff.
