Regis University Women's Basketball

Marrin is beginning her second year as the Head Women's Basketball Coach at Regis University. Marrin officially began her duties on April 20, 2015. Marrin led the team to their fourth straight Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Tournament appearance in her first season at the helm in 2015-16. The Rangers finished 18-11 overall and 16-6 in the RMAC. Marrin had the privilege of coaching an All-RMAC First Team performer in Bay'lee Purdy. Purdy jumped into the all-time scoring ranks and now sits in seventh with 1,257 career points. Marrin, a Regis alum, has most recently served as an assistant coach at the University of Denver.  Marrin will replace long-time Regis head coach Linda Raunig after her retirement following the completion of the 2014-15 season.  Marrin becomes the fifth head coach in the history of Ranger womens basketball. Marrin graduated from Regis in 2003 with a degree in communications.  She was a four year letterwinner for the Rangers, earning First Team All-Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC) honors and was twice named to the RMAC All-Tournament Team.  A native of Dallas, Marrin has spent her collegiate coaching career creating multiple recruiting strategies while working to develop student-athletes on and off the court.   Prior to returning to Denver, she served six seasons as an assistant coach at the University of San Francisco (USF) where she was the teams recruiting coordinator and assistant coach since 2008-09.  At USF, Marrin played a pivotal role in the recruitment of First Team and Honorable Mention All-WCC performers. Marrins first coaching experience came at the University of Northern Colorado (UNC) in Greeley, Colorado.  She spent three seasons as the recruiting coordinator and assistant coach developing and implementing the Bears recruiting plan, which led to the signing of UNCs highest profile signing of Jabrenta Hubbard.  

Jason Kohler was named the sixth head coach in Regis University women’s basketball history after an impressive three-year rise through the program’s ranks. Kohler, who previously served as a graduate assistant and assistant coach for the Rangers, has played an instrumental role in one of the most successful stretches in program history. Kohler joined the Regis women’s basketball staff as a graduate assistant during the 2022–24 seasons. In his first year, he helped guide the Rangers to both the RMAC regular season and tournament championships—the program’s first conference sweep since 2006–07. That season also saw Regis advance to the NCAA Division II South Central Regional Tournament for the first time since the 2016–17 season, highlighted by multiple All-Conference honorees and the RMAC Player of the Year. In 2023–24, Kohler helped the Rangers capture another RMAC Tournament title while tying a program record with 26 victories. Regis continued to produce top talent, earning multiple All-RMAC and All-Region selections under his guidance. Promoted to assistant coach for the 2024–25 campaign, Kohler’s leadership contributed to 64 wins across three seasons—one of the most successful three-year spans in program history. During this time, the Rangers also developed professional players, maintained a strong academic reputation, and consistently competed at the top of the RMAC. In his first season at the helm of the program, Regis went 2-21 (2-18 RMAC). Kate Gallery led the Rangers with 17.7 PPG, being named Second-Team All-RMAC. Gallery and Caitie Turnbow both received CSC Academic All-District honors.  Beyond Regis, Kohler brings a diverse background in coaching and player development. He has coached AAU basketball at multiple levels, including national and youth teams, and served as a high school JV and Varsity Assistant Coach for over two years after relocating to Colorado. His experience includes three years with Point Guard College (PGC), an internationally recognized player development organization, as well as running Jr. 76ers Summer Camps. Additionally, he has trained numerous overseas professionals as a skills trainer and development coach. An active member of the Rising Coaches network and the Latino Association of Basketball Coaches (LABC), Kohler is recognized for his dedication to player development, team culture, and leadership growth. His deep connection to the Regis community and commitment to the program’s values make him a true “Ranger through and through.”
