ATLANTA – Indiana State Assistant Coach Roman Tubner was honored Wednesday as he was named to the Women's Basketball Coaches Association Thirty Under 30 list for the 2018-19 season.
 
The WBCA Thirty Under 30 program was created to recognize 30 up-and-coming women's basketball coaches age 30 and under at all levels of the game. Each honoree has exemplified their involvement in community service, mentorship and impact on others, professional manner, and attitude and professional association involvement.
 
Tubner, in his first season at Indiana State, helped coordinate one of the best recruiting classes in the region and Missouri Valley Conference with seven signees headed to the school's Terre Haute campus in the fall. That signing class received honorable mention honors from the Blue Star Report and was the only Valley recruiting class to receive mention from the Blue Star Report.
 
"The WBCA is pleased to recognize up and coming talent in our coaching family. The 30 coaches who have been named to receive the Thirty Under 30 Award are deserving of this recognition, and the WBCA congratulates them for distinguishing themselves early in their careers," said WBCA Executive Director Danielle Donehew. "These coaches have demonstrated eagerness, effectiveness, loyalty, love of the game, and a commitment to the student-athlete. We celebrate their effort on the basketball court as teachers and equally applaud the extensive role they play in impacting the lives of their student-athletes."
 
The Sycamores, in Tubner's first year, are averaging more points per game (62.3) and have a higher field goal percentage (.379) than any ISU team in the last five years and are shooting a better mark from 3-point range (.335) than any other team in the last seven years.
 
Tubner is one of two Missouri Valley Conference coaches recognized along with Illinois State's Scott Gillespie.
 
This is the fourth year of the WBCA Thirty Under 30 program. Please visit www.wbca.org/recognize to see a list of honorees.
