His duties with the Commodores will include coordinating all areas of the women’s basketball team’s travel, including transportation, lodging, arranging meals, and scheduling practice and shoot-around times.
Prior to joining the Fever, Stanich was a student manager at Indiana University for four years (2010-2014). He also served internship with the WNBA’s Chicago Sky and the Fever.
Stanich studied Sport Marketing and Management at Indiana, where he graduated in 2014.
