Assistant Coach Allison Guth was with the Tigers for the 2007-08 season.
She assisted with recruiting, scouting and player development, led the program’s marketing and community service efforts, and worked with the guards, among other responsibilities.
Guth joined the Tigers after two years as an assistant coach and head recruiting coordinator at Loyola-Chicago. While with the Ramblers, Guth also coached the guards, helped scout opponents and develop game plans, and led all recruiting efforts for the program.
“I was so impressed with Allison from the moment that I met her,” Stein said. “She is dynamic, enthusiastic, and has an amazing passion for the game of basketball. People love being around her, and she cares deeply about the student-athlete. All of these qualities will surely enhance our program.”
Prior to joining Loyola-Chicago, Guth worked as a sales associate in the Foodservice Division with Coca-Cola North America in Denver, Colorado, from August 2004 to June 2005. She also served as site director of the Blue Star Basketball Tournament in the summer of 2004 and interned in the Illinois athletic marketing department in the summer of 2003.
Guth was a three-year letter winner for Illinois from 2002 to 2004 and was a member of the Student-Athletic Advisory Board from 2002 to 2004. She also played on the Illinois women’s golf team as a freshman.
A native of Arlington Heights, Illinois, Guth graduated with a degree in marketing from Illinois in 2004.
