While at Oklahoma, Paris became the first player to record 2,500 points and 2,000 rebounds in NCAA regardless of division or gender.
"She has a heart for the journey of the collegiate athlete and a tremendous vat of basketball knowledge to share as, professionally, she has played with and for some of the greatest minds in our game.
"Courtney will be an outstanding recruiter, a pivotal mentor and guide for our post players, and a valuable addition to our sideline. She's a proven winner and we are thrilled to welcome her home."
Paris remains the school's career (2005-09) all-time leader in scoring (2,729) and rebounds (2,034) – graduated with a degree in journalism.
