Tim Bertsch

Position: Video Coordinator Experience: 1st year

Tim Bertsch was hired in July to assume the major responsibilities as video coordinator for the Purdue women's basketball program.

"Tim has been a valuable asset to our program the last couple years and he has extensive knowledge of our video editing equipment," Versyp said. "With his work ethic, maturity and passion for the game and Purdue women's basketball in particular, he is a natural fit. He's an outstanding young man who is a self-starter and I know he will do an excellent job balancing his final year of studies with the responsibilities as video coordinator. We hope to have him as a part of our program for a long time."

Bertsch served as a Purdue women's basketball manager last season, assisting former video coordinator Ben Coomes. Prior to that, Bertsch spent a year as a member of the Ready, Intense Practice Squad, a group of Purdue male students who serve as practice players for the women's basketball team. The Matthews, Ind., native will be a senior this fall and will serve in a student employee role until graduation.

Bertsch is pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in elementary education and is scheduled to graduate in May of 2012.

Bertsch played varsity basketball and served as an athletic trainer at Eastbrook High School in Marion, Ind. More recently, he coached elementary school boys' basketball for the Frontier School Corporation.
