Keri Jewett-Giles enters her first season with the Owls as an assistant coach in 2026-27.
Jewett-Giles arrives in Paradise after serving as an assistant coach at Florida SouthWestern during the 2025-26 season.
With the Buccaneers, Jewett-Giles helped lead FSW to a 19-12 record and a FCSAA quarterfinal finish this past season. She also helped coach All-FCSAA Team and First Team All-Citrus Conference selection Chelsea Bishop, as well as First Team All-Citrus Conference honoree Destinie Gordon, and Second Team All-Citrus Conference selections Amelia Williams and Kiara Harris.
Prior to joining the Bucs, Jewett-Giles began her coaching career at her alma mater during the 2024-25 season, helping guide FGCU to a 30-4 record, tying for the sixth-most single-season wins in program history. After a perfect 18-0 conference regular season, the Eagles won their eighth straight and 12th overall ASUN Tournament title, earning the program's 11th NCAA Tournament appearance. Jewett-Giles shared the bench alongside her former coaches Karl Smesko and Chelsea Lyles at FGCU, both of whom are now leading the WNBA's Atlanta Dream.
As a player, Jewett-Giles had a legendary career at both FGCU and Southern Miss. She was named to the ASUN All-Decade Team, racking up 957 career points at FGCU after scoring 507 points at Southern Miss, finishing with 1,464 points throughout her collegiate career. As a senior with the Eagles, Jewett-Giles was named the 2019-20 ASUN Player of the Year and a WBCA Honorable Mention All-American and was a semifinalist for the Becky Hammon Mid-Major Player of the Year award. Jewett-Giles not only excelled on the court, she also shined in the classroom, earning ASUN Scholar-Athlete of the Year honors and a CoSIDA Academic All-District selection.
After finishing her career with the Eagles, she played professionally in Europe and Africa for 4 years, playing in Belgium, Egypt, Jordan, Sweden, and Slovakia.
