hristelle N’Garsanet enters her first
season as an assistant coach with
Southern Illinois women’s basketball.
N’Garsanet follows SIU head coach Cindy
Stein to Carbondale after serving as her assistant
coach at Illinois Central College during the
2012-13 season. N’Garsanet was also an All-
Conference player under Stein at Missouri before
being selected in the 2006 WNBA Draft.
N’Garsanet spent two seasons on the coaching
staff at ICC, including a 2012-13 season during
which the Cougars went 32-4 and finished third
in the NJCAA Division II national tournament.
Prior to her time at ICC, N’Garsanet spent two
years working as an audit associate at KPMG
in St. Louis following a two-year professional
playing career. N’Garsanet played for the WNBA’s
New York Liberty during the 2006-07 season
before spending one season playing in Poland.
She also played for the Ivory Coast national team
in 2000, 2001, 2009 and 2011.
N’Garsanet played three seasons collegiately
at Mizzou after transferring from ICC. She led
the Tigers in rebounding and ranked second on
the team in scoring during her junior and senior
seasons, finishing with 870 points and 255
rebounds during her three years in Columbia, Mo.
N’Garsanet was named Second-Team All-Big 12
during her senior season.
N’Garsanet’s lone season playing at ICC was a
memorable one as she helped the Cougars to the
2003 NJCAA Division II national championship.
That season also coincided with the final season
of legendary coach Lorene Ramsey, who also
coached Stein at ICC.
A two-time Academic All-Big 12 selection,
N’Garsanet has both a master’s and bachelor’s
degree in accountancy from Mizzou.
