the assistant coach. Amy moved up from graduate assistant coach to an on-staff
position for the 2005-2006 season. She served as a graduate assistant during the
2004-05 season, when the Warhawks posted a 14-12 record.

ASSISTANT COACH PETE VON ALLMEN
Von Allmen came to UW-Whitewater in the 2003-2004 sesaon. Von Allmen, a
long time high school coach, spent 17 years as the head coach at Arrowhead
High School. While at Arrowhead Von Allmen captured two state titles and
accumulated an overall record of 319-72. After Arrowhead, Von Allmen moved
on to Fort Atkinson high school, where he was the head girl's basketball coach
for 9 years.
After his near decade stint in Fort Atkinson, Von Allmen moved on to the college
ranks where he was an Assistant Coach for the Beloit College Women's
Basketball team for 2 years. That brings us to the present, with Von Allmen as an assistant for the
Warhawks. Coach Von Allmen is in charge of forward/post development as well as playing a main
roll in fine tuning the half-court offense. Von Allmen's experience and success will be a key
ingredient to the Warhawks winning formula in the 2005 -2006 season.
