Oklahoma State Cowgirl Basketball Adds New Strength Coach Glenn Cain
STILLWATER – Oklahoma State women's basketball has added Glenn Cain to its coaching staff as the new strength & conditioning coach, head coach Jacie Hoyt announced today.
"I'm ecstatic about Glenn becoming part of our Cowgirl family," Hoyt said. "His experience and proven ability to train high-level players, who have been successful both in college and in the pros, is the perfect fit for our roster. I've never hired anyone with more positive things said about them by coaches, players, and co-workers.
"His knowledge and enthusiasm to help our players be their best selves is something I'm excited to see translate on the court."
Cain has spent the past five years at Rutgers University, where he worked primarily with the Scarlet Knight women's basketball team, designing programs to develop speed, strength, agility and conditioning to optimize on-court performance.

During his tenure, eight players were selected to the NBA Draft, four of whom were lottery picks, and the women's basketball program reached back-to-back appearances in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament.
Cain began his professional career at Frostburg State University, where he was the program's first strength and conditioning coach and oversaw over 300 student-athletes and 21 teams.
