Kristin Haynie enters her third season as assistant basketball coach of the Spartans. The Spartan legend and Mason, Michigan native, has also cultivated strong coaching ties in the state of Michigan.
She came back to East Lansing after working as a basketball skills trainer in western and central Michigan. She worked as a mentor to inspire and motivate athletes to reach their full potential and also help them realize their impact off the court.
Haynie spent three seasons at Central Michigan from 2014-17, where she helped lead the Chippewas to the 2017 Mid-American Conference championship with guard Presley Hudson earning MAC Freshman of the Year honors. CMU was also the 2016 MAC West Champions. Prior to joining the Central Michigan staff, Haynie spent two years as an assistant at Eastern Michigan.
Haynie had a stellar Michigan State career, ranking as the career leader in assists (574) and steals (346). She finished her career ranked eighth in MSU history in scoring (1,199 points) and is still 15th in career scoring. At the time of her graduation, she was just the fourth player in Big Ten history to reach career totals of 1,000 points, 500 rebounds, 500 assists and 300 steals. She is also the Michigan State leader in single-season steals with 117. The point guard is still one of just three Spartan women’s basketball players to record a triple-double.
Just weeks after the 2005 National Championship game, Haynie was the ninth pick in the 2005 WNBA Draft by the Sacramento Monarchs. She helped the Monarchs capture the WNBA title in her first season as a pro. She played in 160 games during her WNBA career, spending five seasons in the WNBA (2005-09) with the Sacramento Monarchs, Atlanta Dream and Detroit Shock. Following her stint in the WNBA, Haynie played professionally in Italy, Lithuania, Russia and Greece.
Haynie was inducted into the Michigan State Hall of Fame in 2017.
She graduated from Michigan State with a degree in family community service in 2005.
