Emory women's basketball assistant coach Misha Jackson has been selected as a member of the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) inaugural Thirty Under 30 honorees.

The WBCA Thirty Under 30 special recognition program was created to honor 30 up-and-coming women's basketball coaches age 30 and under at all levels of the game.

Each recipient has exemplified their involvement in community service, mentorship and impact on others, professional manner and attitude and professional association involvement.

"From day one as an assistant at Emory, Misha has shown a passion, knowledge and maturity that players, coaches, parents and administrators have felt in awe of, said Emory head coach Christy Thomaskutty.  "Misha is so deserving of this award and I am blessed to work with her on a daily basis."

After wrapping up a three-year playing career at Emory that saw her finish among the program's top 10 all-time performers in 11 different categories, Jackson joined the Eagles' coaching staff as a volunteer assistant for the 2013-14 season.  She then was promoted to a full-time post prior to the start of the 2014-15 campaign.
