Bloomington, Ind. - Ian Rickerby has been named Indiana's director of compliance, Director of Athletics Rick Greenspan announced on March 8. Rickerby joins the student development and compliance staff after spending the past five years as an assistant women's soccer coach at IU.
"I'm very pleased that Ian will be joining us as the Director of Compliance," Assistant Athletics Director for Compliance Jennifer Brinegar said. "With his coaching background, Ian brings a unique perspective to the staff and will also serve to enhance IU's strong tradition and culture of rules compliance. He is familiar with the department of athletics and will be a valuable member of our staff."
Rickerby will be responsible for acting as the primary contact for all constituents for rules interpretations, overseeing the monitoring of rules compliance and assisting with rules education in the position.
In his five years as a member of the women's coaching staff, Rickerby was active in all aspects of the program, including administrative and compliance efforts as well as serving as the academic liaison for the program. Prior to joining the Hoosiers, the Manchester, England, native was no stranger to the Big Ten, as he spent one year as an assistant coach at Purdue in 2001 and was an assistant at Iowa for two years.
"I'm very excited for this opportunity," Rickerby said. "To progress from being a coach to being in the administration at this level is truly an honor for me. I think what I bring in, having worked with compliance rules as a coach and having been on the recruiting trail, is really going to aid our coaches. I'll miss being involved directly with the women's soccer team, but it will be good to be able to help all of our student-athletes."
A 1987 graduate of the University of Warwick in Coventry, England, Rickerby got his start in coaching as an assistant at Siena Heights University in Adrian, Michigan. While at Siena, Rickerby also earned his masters degree in agency counseling.
After a four-year stint as the head women's soccer coach at Missouri Valley College, Rickerby teamed up with current IU head coach Mick Lyon as the first assistant at Evansville before moving on to Iowa.
While at Warwick, Rickerby was elected to the position of sports officer, where he oversaw the sports clubs and recreational programs for the University. He also served as the coordinator of the recreational and intramural sports facilities while at Siena Heights.
Rickerby and his wife Kari reside in Bloomington.
