CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- University of Illinois women's basketball head coach Nancy Fahey announced Wednesday (June 2) the addition of Justin Peak as the Fighting Illini's Video and Scouting Operations Coordinator.
"I am thrilled to announce our newest Assistant Coach, Justin Peak. Justin's technology experience and drive to utilize it with our scouting, player development and analytic analysis will add tremendous value to our program. He is an extremely hard worker who gained valuable experience at Auburn University."
Peak, a native of Dothan, Ala., comes to Illinois with more than six years of NCAA Division I women's basketball experience, including most recently at his alma mater, Auburn, where he served as the Tigers' Director of Basketball Services/Video Coordinator from 2018-21.
"I am extremely excited to join the Illinois women's basketball family and work for a proven winner in Coach Fahey," Peak said. "I'm very eager to get back in the gym and get to work on a great 2021-22 season, and I want to thank all the Illini fans for the warm welcome and support."
In his role at Auburn, Peak was instrumental to the program's operations. He was responsible for all aspects of video editing, film breakdown, and video exchange, while also coordinating the preparation of scouting reports.
Peak's stint from 2018-21 marked his second at Auburn, where he earned his bachelor's degree in business administration with a marketing focus in 2015. During his time as a student at AU, he spent four years as Tigers' practice player before taking on a role as the team's Assistant Director of Basketball Services for the 2015-16 season.
Peak spent the 2016-17 season at Stony Brook as the Seawolves' Director of Player Development, and the 2017-18 season at Georgia Tech as a graduate manager for the Yellow Jackets before returning to Auburn.
