Sharnee Zoll-Norman is a former star guard for the University of Virginia.
Virginia Tech women’s basketball coach Megan Duffy made her first hire Thursday, naming Sharnee Zoll-Norman as an assistant coach.
If Zoll-Norman’s name sounds familiar, she is a former star point guard at the University of Virginia. From 2004-08. Zoll-Norman played at UVA, scoring over 1,000 points and starting every game in her four-year career. Zoll-Norman became the only woman in ACC history to record 200 or more assists in three consecutive seasons when she was with the Wahoos.
Zoll-Norman also broke the legendary Dawn Staley’s school and ACC record of career assists during her time in Charlottesville.
After her college career was over, Zoll-Norman was the 29th overall pick in the 2008 WNBA draft by the Los Angeles Sparks. She was waived and signed with the Minnesota Lynx. After Minnesota let her go, Zoll-Norman went overseas and enjoyed a five-year return before returning to the WNBA in 2013 with the Chicago Sky.
Zoll-Norman began her coaching career at Rhode Island, where she spent three seasons before moving on to Penn State. She spent the past two seasons with the Nittany Lions until Duffy came calling.
Zoll-Norman, like Duffy, is a former point guard who has been instrumental in developing some impressive guards during her young coaching career.
Welcome to Virginia Tech, Coach Zoll-Norman.
