Lindsay Allman is in her fourth year as an assistant coach at Bradley, joining the BU coaching staff in June 2012 after a three-year run as an assistant coach at Southern Miss.
The 2013 season saw Bradley with its best overall (13) and conference (7) win totals since 2005 and the Braves made their first Valley Tournament appearance since that same 2005 season. Bradley boasted its first all-conference selection since 2006, with Amy Angelos garnering second-team all-league honors. In addition, Rachel Jones capped off a successful 2013 campaign on the MVC’s All-Freshman Team to become the first Brave on the Valley’s All-Newcomer squad since Lindsay Stalzer.
In Allman’s first season, the Braves finished the 2012 season with three road wins, matching the team's road win total from the previous four seasons combined and marking the most for BU since 2006.
Allman had been a member of the Southern Miss staff since 2009 before coming to Bradley, helping the Golden Eagles to the 2009 Conference USA regular-season championship and a 63-32 (.663) overall record during her three years in Hattiesburg. In two seasons as a graduate assistant and one year as a full-time assistant, Allman's on-court responsibilities included team serve, serve receive, passing, ball control and outside hitters. She also was responsible for video, scouting, travel, recruiting and fundraising last season after assisting those areas as a graduate assistant the two previous seasons.
Allman is a native of St. Louis, graduating from Rockwood Summit High School. An all-district honoree as a high school player, she continued her career at the University of Maine, where she racked up more than 1,000 career kills and digs as a four-year starter. Allman was Maine's team captain in 2008, when she went on to earn first-team All-America East Conference honors, and was named to the America East Honor Roll in 2007 and 2008 in recognition of her success in the classroom.
Allman graduated from Maine in 2009 with her bachelor's degree in mass communication and minors in public relations and child development. She went on to earn her master's degree in social work from Southern Miss in 2011
