Early life and college playing career

Born and raised in Orem, Utah, Pebley (born Jennifer Raegan Scott)^[1] graduated from Mountain View High School in Utah in 1993.^[2]^[3] Pebley then attended the University of Colorado Boulder and played at forward for the Colorado Buffaloes from 1993 to 1997.

Professional playing career

Pebley was drafted in the third round (21st overall pick) of the 1997 WNBA draft by the Utah Starzz. She would miss the Starzz' first three games of the 1997 season, but then finally debut on June 28, 1997, in a 58–76 loss to the Houston Comets. In her debut game, Pebley recorded 2 points and 1 rebound in just under 6 minutes of playing time.^[4] She would go on to play just 8 games in the 1997 season and averaged 5.4 minutes, 1.5 points, and 0.9 rebounds.

Pebley's second season in the WNBA would end up being her final season in the league. She signed with the Cleveland Rockers and played 22 games for the team, averaging 7.6 minutes, 1.7 points, and 1.3 rebounds.^[5] The Rockers finished with a 20–10 record and reached the playoffs but were eliminated in the semi-finals by the Phoenix Mercury in three games. Game 3 of that series ended up being Pebley's final game of her career. The game was played on August 25, 1998, and the Rockers would lose 60–71, with Pebley recording 5 points, 2 rebounds and 1 block.^[6]

Coaching career

While playing in the WNBA, Pebley was an assistant coach at George Mason from 1997 to 1999 during league offseasons. Pebley then was an assistant coach at Colorado State from 1999 to 2001.

On May 1, 2002, Pebley became head coach at Utah State, which reinstated its women's basketball program after a nearly 15-year hiatus, effective in the 2003–04 season. After a 5–22 record in her first season, Utah State improved to 14–14 in Pebley's second season. However, the team won just 23 games in the next three seasons, including a 3–24 record in 2005–06. In the 2008–09 season, Pebley led Utah State to a 16–15 (9–7 WAC) record, including the program's first-ever postseason win in the first round of the WAC Tournament before losing to eventual tournament champion Fresno State. Utah State again made history in 2010–11 by making its first-ever WNIT.^[7] In 2011–12, Pebley's final season with Utah State, the team went 21–10 for its first season with 20 or more wins and made the WNIT for the second straight season.^[8]

Pebley then was head coach at Fresno State from 2012 to 2014. Pebley went 46–20 (23–8 MW) in her two seasons at Fresno State, with two MW Tournament titles and NCAA Tournament appearances as well.^[8] On March 31, 2014, she was named head coach at TCU.^[9] TCU made the WNIT in both of Pebley's first two seasons.
