An assistant women's basketball coach at Eastern Illinois University is dead, according to the Associated Press.
The university says Jackie Moore died Wednesday night at a hospital just outside Charleston.
School officials so far aren't saying how Moore died. They say they're working on plans for a memorial service.
Moore was in her third season at the school. This was her first post-college job after graduating from Christian Brothers University in Memphis, Tenn., in 2005.
