UMBC’s do-it-all guard with rebounder grit and two-way bite
Kristin Coles is a high-impact, multi-faceted guard whose best trait is that she plays far bigger than her listed position; in her 2011-12 season at UMBC, she ranked second in the America East in field-goal percentage (.467), seventh in rebounding (7.6 per game), and ninth in steals (1.8 per game), a rare combo for a guard[1][2]. She also showed real shot-making efficiency and toughness after returning from injury, which helps explain why she was trusted as a captain-type presence and a stat-sheet filler rather than just a scorer[1][3]. If a team wants pace, effort, and winning glue, Coles is the kind of player who absolutely earns her keep[1][3].
