From Record-Setting Freshman to Rising Coaching Star at Colorado
Kristin Hernandez, once a standout SMU Mustangs guard who set an Oklahoma State freshman record with 25 points in a season opener (2007-08) and averaged 7.4 PPG as a sophomore, has transitioned into coaching brilliance. In her first 2025-26 season as Colorado Buffs assistant, she orchestrated massive improvements, including four ranked wins (e.g., No. 14 TCU 80-79) and a Big 12 semifinal run. WBCA 2026 Thirty Under 30 honoree with prior knee injury resilience—her intensity, player development savvy, and winning pedigree make her a prime fit for any ambitious program's staff.
