WIS- Shereka Wright | NCAA Coach

Celebrating the AA Women’s Basketball 🏀 Coaches 👏🏽 The 2022 Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Year Shereka Wright has made an incredible impact on the Lady Mavs program in only two short seasons.

Wright comes off a historic season, guiding the Lady Mavs to a 20-8 record and the Sun Belt Tournament Championship. That earned the conference's automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament for the third time in school history and the first since 2007.
 
Wright began her coaching career at Texas Tech and was responsible for the perimeter players, recruiting, scouting, academics and equipment. She helped the Lady Raiders advance to the postseason five times, and posted 20+ win seasons each of the last three years – including advancing to the NCAA Tournament twice.
 
Wright was selected as the 13th overall pick in the 2004 WNBA Draft by the Detroit Shock after a stellar career at Purdue. She was traded to the Phoenix Mercury on draft night, and spent two seasons with them until an injury brought her professional playing career to an end in 2006.
 
A prolific player, Wright remains to this day the only three-time All-American in Purdue women’s basketball history. She was just the third Boilermaker in program history to be named All-Big Ten First Team on three occasions, and was a finalist for National Player of the Year as both a junior and senior. As a freshman in 2001, Wright was named to the NCAA Final Four All-Tournament Team.
