She has the longest tenure of any basketball coach in the Mountain West Conference-men’s included. Elliott is responsible for recruiting the Canadian natives Kim Smith and Shona Thorburn and establishing a connection between the U and Canadian basketball. As a result, the Utes now have five Canadians on their team, and are looking to add more.
