Kristy Flores enters her third season with the Utah State women's basketball program after being named an assistant women's basketball coach on May 6, 2005 and was promoted to associate head coach prior to the beginning of the 2007-08 season. Flores came to Utah State after spending seven seasons at Cal Poly, four as a player and then three as an assistant coach for the Mustangs. Flores' responsibilities include being the recruiting coordinator and focusing on team defense. In her three seasons as an assistant coach, Cal Poly complied a 35-47 record and produced eight academic all-conference honorees, four Big West honorable mention selections and placed two players on the conference's all-Freshman team. Flores joined the Cal Poly staff prior to the 2003 season, following a stellar four-year Mustang career that was cut short during her senior year by a pair of stress fractures in her left foot. Her career statistics include 88 games played and averages of 8.2 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game. She still holds the school record for assists in a game (12 against Fresno Pacific on Dec. 12, 1998) and minutes played in a season (941). Flores graduated in 2002 from Cal Poly with a bachelor's degree in psychology. She is currently working on a master's degree in education administration and leadership at Cal Poly. A 1994 graduate of Newcastle High School in Australia, Flores was a New South Wales Junior of the Year selection in 1990 and 1991, a 1993 Australia Honorary Team selection and an Australian Junior Training squad member in 1993 and 1994. She married Eric Flores on March 7, 2005 and the couple is expecting their first child in May. |
