Houston Comets News Release
HOUSTON – The Houston Comets announced today that Alisa Scott has resigned her position as assistant coach with the team.
“We have known each other for a long time, and I really enjoyed coaching with her,” said Head Coach and General Manager Van Chancellor. “She was instrumental in us winning our last three WNBA Championships. I wish her all the best in her future endeavors.”
Scott (Mississippi ‘87) served seven seasons as an assistant coach with the Comets after joining the team on July 3, 1998. Her appointment to the Comets staff reunited her with Coach Chancellor, who she previously coached under and played for at the University of Mississippi.
Included in her role with the Comets, Scott worked with the teamÂ’s post players, including 2004 All-WNBA First Team member Tina Thompson. Also under her tutelage, center Michelle Snow earned WNBA Most Improved Player of the Year in 2003.
In addition to three titles with the Comets, Scott also served as an assistant coach for the WNBA Western Conference All-Star Team on three occasions (1999, 2000, 2001). She originally joined the Comets staff after replacing Peggie Gillom, who was named head coach at Texas A&M University midway through the 1998 season.
