GREEN BAY -- University of Green Bay Women's Basketball Head Coach Kevin Borseth has announced the completion of his coaching staff.

Borseth has named Escanaba native John Barnes as the team's associate head coach.

Barnes was an assistant to Borseth last season at the University of Michigan, helping guide the Wolverines to its NCAA tournament appearance and 20-12 record while compiling the program's fourth 20-win season.

Barnes was also an assistant at the University of Wisconsin from 2010-11.

Barnes was Borseth's predecessor as the head coach at Michigan Tech University from 2003-10. While at Michigan Tech, Barnes led his team to winning records every season, leading the Huskies to the NCAA Division II championship five times.

Barnes led the Huskies back-to-back Elite Eight appearances (2009 and 2010) and was named the GLIAC Coach of the Year three times in addition to earning WBCA Regional Coach of the Year honors in 2010.

Barnes played his college basketball at Michigan Tech.
