Gordon named assistant at Georgia State

A former Tennessee Lady Vol has turned to a fellow alum to fill her women’s basketball coaching staff.

Bridgette Gordon has been hired as an assistant at Georgia State, joining the staff of head coach Lea Henry.

“Bridgette brings instant credibility with her past success as one of the best players ever in women’s basketball,’’ Henry said. “She is an outstanding addition to this program and has a reputation for being a top-notch recruiter.”

In June, Gordon was inducted to the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame. She had taken a head coaching job at Lighthouse Christian, a small private high school in her hometown of Deland, Fla.

Gordon, who had been a scout with the WNBA, was assistant at Stetson for five seasons (2001-06).
