"I played at a high level in college and as a professional, and I know the work ethic it takes to get the job done," said Hall, a Street and Smith All-American who was named as one of the top 30 players in the country by The New York Times in 1983.

She received her bachelor of arts degree in international and intercultural communications from Rutgers in 1983.
"Jennie has a great deal of experience as both a player and a coach," said King, who was named the fourth coach in Coppin history on May 19. "She was an All-American in college and had an outstanding career as a professional player. She has a tremendous amount of knowledge to pass down to our players and will be a benefit to our program."
Hall got her start in collegiate coaching in 1989 at George Washington where she served as an assistant for one season. After returning overseas to play professionally for two more seasons, she accepted a position at Indiana University of Pennsylvania where she was an assistant coach for three seasons. She moved on to Vermont in 1994.
