IU Indy Athletics

Colleen Day joined IUPUI in June 2017 out of Miami (Ohio), where the highly touted former student-athlete and coach created a Hall-of-Fame resume with over a decade worth of experience behind the bench. 

Day finished her tenure in Oxford as the team's offensive coach, scouting coordinator and was tasked with developing posts and guards.  She also specialized in alumni relations and was an academic liaison for the RedHawks, seeing the team record its highest-ever grade point average (GPA) during the 2014-15 season. 
 
A member of several elite teams both as a coach and a player, Day helped guide the RedHawks to 146 wins during her tenure as assistant coach.  She was part of the team's 2008 MAC Tournament championship and NCAA Tournament appearance, as well as two Women's National Invitation Tournament (WNIT) appearances in 2012 and 2013. Day has mentored six All-MAC selections in addition to last season's freshman of the year. 
 
As a player, Day still ranks as one of the best-ever at Miami, being elected into the RedHawks hall of fame in 2015.  She is 11th all-time with 1,269 points, fifth all-time with 794 rebounds, 10th all-time with 209 steals, led the team in scoring during the 2003-04 season and also was the top rebounder for three seasons.  Her four-year career produced one of the highest free-throw percentages ever at Miami (.805), ranking seventh all-time and her efforts helped propel the team to a MAC Championship in 2004.    

Day earned three degrees from the University of Miami (Ohio). She recently completed her PhD in Educational Leadership in August of 2017 and also earned a Master's degree in Sports Studies and a Bachelor's degree in English Secondary Education
