Ian Rickerby has served as Indiana's assistant athletic director for compliance since 2008 after serving 18 months as a compliance director. Rickerby joined the student development and compliance staff in early 2007 after spending the previous five years as an assistant women's soccer coach at IU. Rickerby is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the compliance office, as well as acting as the primary contact for all men's basketball and football compliance issues. He administers the submission of waiver requests and self-reports, while taking the lead in providing interpretative resolutions to compliance questions. Acting as the main liaison with the Big Ten compliance staff and the NCAA Academic and Membership Affairs, Rickerby brings his 17-plus years of coaching experience to work with him every day. "Coming from a coaching background often helps me understand the sometimes unusual places that college coaches come from in their approach to compliance issues. The institutional, Big Ten and NCAA rules and regulations touch an unbelievable array of varying areas that our coaches and student-athletes have to deal and live with on a daily basis. If the compliance office can help our people in any way with scaling that moving mountain of bureaucracy and administration, then we've done what we're supposed to do." In his five years as a member of the women's coaching staff, Rickerby was active in all aspects of the program, including administrative and compliance efforts as well as serving as the academic liaison for the program. Prior to joining the Hoosiers, the Manchester, England, native was no stranger to the Big Ten, as he spent one year as an assistant coach at Purdue in 2001 and was an assistant at Iowa for the year before that. A 1987 graduate of the University of Warwick in Coventry, England, Rickerby got his start in coaching as an assistant at Siena Heights University in Adrian, Michigan. While at Siena, Rickerby also earned his master's degree in agency counseling. After a four-year stint as the head women's soccer coach at Missouri Valley College in Marshall, Missouri, Rickerby teamed up with current IU head women's soccer coach Mick Lyon as the first assistant at Evansville before moving on to Iowa. While at Warwick, Rickerby was elected to the position of sports officer, where he oversaw the sports clubs and recreational programs for the University. He also served as the coordinator of the recreational and intramural sports facilities while at Siena Heights. Rickerby and his wife Kari, a second grade teacher at Lakeview Elementary School, reside in Bloomington. |
