Utah head coach Amy Hogue announced the promotion of Hannah Flippen to assistant coach in July 2018. Flippen spent one season as a graduate assistant coach.

Utah's all-time leader in runs, hits and batting average, Flippen concluded a stellar career (2014-17) by becoming the first three-time All-American in program history, as well as the first four-time All-Pac-12 honoree. She was the first Ute named Pac-12 Softball Player of the Year in consecutive seasons and the first person in the history of the conference to win that award, along with Defensive Player of the Year honors, in the same campaign.

After graduating in the spring of '17 with a 3.59 GPA (psychology), Flippen received a postgraduate scholarship from the Pac-12 to pursue her master's degree at Utah. A three-time Pac-12 All-Academic selection, she became Utah's first two-time Academic All-American and was a finalist for the 2017 NCAA Woman of the Year award after taking part in a number of social initiatives at Utah.
