At the beginning of September 2021, Montreat athletics announced that Krys Burnett was hired as the assistant coach for the women’s basketball program. She has now been named the Interim Head Coach for the Program.

Burnett came to the Cavalier family following three years as the head varsity girls’ basketball coach at Clark Montessori High School in Cincinnati, Ohio. While with the Cougars in her hometown, Burnett led the team to its furthest post-season run in school history. In her first year at Clark Montessori, Burnett collected the MVC Conference Coach of the Year award.

The Cincinnati native assisted her community over the course of her time in the area by also helping inner-city youth. Burnett spent time as an associate program director and coach for Phenomenal Youth, an inner-city AAU program in Cincy, where she developed elite teams during the offseason. In 2020 and 2021, athletes received basketball scholarships to play at the next level across several divisions.

Prior to her coaching experience, Burnett played basketball for Clermont College from 2003-2005.

Burnett graduated from the University of Cincinnati in 2008 where she obtained a degree in communications. As Burnett continued her educational studies, she earned her masters in multi-cultural special education from Mount St. Joseph University in 2016. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chefranjohn/support
