Jeanette Pohlen-Freeman

A familiar face on The Farm, Jeanette Pohlen-Freeman moved to the bench to begin her coaching career as part of Setsuko Ishiyama Director of Women's Basketball Kate Paye's inaugural staff in 2024-25 and is in her third season as an assistant coach in 2026-27.

A 2011 Stanford graduate with a degree in communication, Pohlen-Freeman returned to Stanford as a coaching intern in 2021-22 before assuming a player development position for two seasons.
 
Playing for the Cardinal from 2007-11, Pohlen-Freeman was the 2011 Pac-10 Player of the Year and named to the All-America teams of the Associated Press (first team), USBWA and Wooden Award after averaging 14.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game as a senior. She shot 41.7 percent from behind the arc and made what was then a school-record 96 3-pointers.
 
The Cardinal went to four straight Final Fours during Pohlen-Freeman's collegiate career, including runner-up finishes in the NCAA Tournament in 2008 and 2010. Overall, Stanford was 137-14 in her four years and dominated the conference, winning the Pac-10 regular-season and tournament titles all four years.
 
A three-time all-conference performer, she was selected with the ninth overall pick in the 2011 WNBA Draft by the Indiana Fever. Pohlen-Freeman played in 148 career games for the franchise, winning a WNBA title in 2012.
