Morrone begins her second season at Davidson after serving as an assistant coach for three years at the University at Buffalo. As the top assistant, Morrone handles the Wildcats’ recruiting.
While at Buffalo, Morrone helped coach a UB defense that finished second in the Mid-American Conference in field goal percentage defense and third in scoring defense in 2007-08. As a team, the Bulls finished with 15 wins in 2007-08, the most since the 2002-03 campaign.
Morrone primarily handled working with the Bulls' guards during her three years, while being responsible for film exchange and breakdown and assisting in scouting a number of Buffalo's opponents.
“Kelly brings a lot of energy and knowledge of the game to our staff,” said Watts. “She has the personality to be the recruiting coordinator we need and her playing experience at the USC will serve her well as she directs the development of our guards. Her desire to be a champion meets our goals of excellence here at Davidson.”
Morrone began her coaching career during the 2004-05 season as the assistant girl’s varsity basketball coach at Heathwood Hall Episcopal School in Columbia, S.C.
A three-year team captain, Morrone had a solid four-year playing career at South Carolina. She played in 114 games, starting 70 of them, and averaged 8.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.9 assists a game. During her senior year, Morrone was tied for the team lead in scoring average at 11.7 points per game. She was one the Gamecocks' top three-point shooters, making 40.7 percent of her shots during her senior season, good for fifth-best in a single campaign, on 81-of-199 with her 81 made three-pointers ranking fourth-most in a single season.
For her career, Morrone made 238 three-pointers and drained 36.9 percentage of her shots from behind the arc, placing her third all-time in both categories in the record books. She holds the record for the most treys in a single game on the Gamecocks' home court, Colonial Center, with seven.
A native of Syracuse, N.Y., Morrone graduated from South Carolina in 2003 with a Bachelor of Science degree in sports and entertainment management and earned a minor in business. She was a four-year Southeastern Conference Academic Honor Roll team member.
