The two had eight successful campaigns at Missouri Western State University from 1996-2004 in the same capacity. Most recently, Keister served as an assistant coach at Division I Texas Christian University (TCU), where he helped the Lady Frogs to a 23-12
record and a second-place finish in the Mountain West Conference in 2007-08. Their 13-3 conference mark tied for the most league wins in program history. The team qualified for post-season play for the eighth straight season and reached the quarterfinal round of the Women's NIT.
Keister went to TCU after three years as the head coach at Missouri Western from 2004-07. He took over for Slifer, who came to Central Missouri in the spring of 2004.
In his tenure as graduate assistant and assistant coach for the Griffons, Missouri Western advanced to eight straight NCAA Division II Tournaments and averaged over 23 wins per season. During that time, the Griffons won two MIAA regular season championships, two MIAA postseason tournament titles and were ranked No. 1 in the nation twice.
