Keyanna Warthen is in her second season on staff with Indiana women’s basketball in 2025-26.
In her first year back in Bloomington, Warthen helped guide the Hoosiers to a 20-13 overall record and NCAA Tournament second round appearance. She works with the program’s guards along with recruiting, scouting and practice preparation.
Warthen returns to Bloomington after spending a year at Miami (OH) as an assistant coach under former IU associate head coach Glenn Box. In her four seasons at Indiana, Warthen played in 116 career games and finished her career at the time as the all-time winningest player in school history where she collected 89 wins. The Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. native was part of three postseason appearances including two NCAA Tournament runs and a WNIT Championship. She was a member of the squad in 2021 when the Hoosiers advanced to its first ever Elite Eight. Warthen finished her playing career at Southern Methodist University for the 2021-22 campaign.
In her season with the RedHawks, Warthen helped secure one of the best defenses in the MAC, holding opponents to 60.4 points (third in MAC) and allowing a MAC low 38.1% field goal percentage to the opposition.
Warthen arrived in Miami after spending the 2022-23 as a graduate assistant with the women’s basketball program at Oklahoma State. While with the Cowgirls, she supervised off-season programs for current student athletes and played a vital role with OSU’s recruiting efforts. She also worked directly with head coach Jacie Hoyt to implement teaching and instructions for sport specific skills and strategy in practice. OSU went 21-12 in her season in Stillwater and securing an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament.
Prior to joining OSU, Warthen served as a marketing intern with the Dallas Wings of the WNBA in 2022. While gaining marketing experience in a professional league setting, she added skills in social and digital content as well. She graduated from IU with a youth development degree in 2021 and completed her master’s degree in sports management from SMU in 2022.
