Kris Huffman

Induction:
2019
Class:
1989

Kris Huffman hung up her basketball shoes at UNI nearly three decades ago, but her legacy remains. She still holds the career mark for the best three-point percentage (.483) in UNI history and ranks in the career top-10 in points, scoring average, field goals made, free throw percentage, assists and steals. She also recorded the only triple-double in program history with 12 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists against Eastern Illinois in the 1985-86 season. Her accomplishments as a player at UNI pale in comparison to her record as a coach.

She was an assistant at Wartburg before becoming the head coach at Depauw University in Greencastle, Indiana, in 1993. She went 22-26 during her first two seasons, but since that time, she has not had double-digit losses in a single season. She led the Tigers to DIII National Championships in 2007 and 2013 and 20 NCAA DIII Championship appearances, including 16 consecutive trips to the tournament. Huffman has seven National Coach of the Year honors and has been named the Conference Coach of the Year 12 times. She served as the court coach for the 2008 USA Basketball Women's U18 National Team Trials. She is also the Assistant Athletics Director at Depauw and currently serves on the NCAA DIII Women's Basketball Committee.
