who receive scholarships for their
positions, travel with the team to
away games and make sure play
ers bring everything they need.
While Poehler and McElhany
are familiar with Mac Court,
Poehler said finding their way
around at road games can be chal
lenging, especially because the
team expects them to lead the
way.
“They kind of expect you to
know everything about the place
that you are at,” Poehler said.
They are also responsible for
making sure visiting teams have
access to Mac Court for practice,
even when a team decides to prac
tice at a time when McElhany and
Poehler would rather be in bed.
“You just pray that they don’t
practice at 7 a.m. in the morning,”
Poehler said.
Assistant coach Fred Litzen
berger said Poehler and McEl
hany make practice and games pos
sible because they are ready to step
in and help out in every situation.
“Without them, we couldn’t
run the program,” he said.
He said most program assis
tants’ jobs are limited to setting up
practice equipment, but McEl
hany and Poehler are able to step
on the court if necessary and help
with passing and rebounds.
“They may be the most valu
able people in our program,”
Litzenberger said.
McElhany said she applied for
the position last spring because
she has always been excited about
the Ducks’ basketball teams. She
played basketball herself in fourth
and fifth grades and has come to see
the Ducks play ever since she was
seven years old.
Poehler was a former college
basketball player and coach and
took the assistant job last fall in
hopes of pursuing a career in
coaching. She hopes to gain valu
able experience working with the
team, while getting her master’s
degree at the same time.
