TOMEKIA REED TAKES HELM AT UNC CHARLOTTE: NEW HEAD WOMEN'S BASKETBALL COACH

TOMEKIA REED TAKES HELM AT UNC CHARLOTTE: NEW HEAD WOMEN
Posted By: Catalina Deossa on April 26, 2024


Tomekia Reed's appointment as the new head coach for the UNC Charlotte 49ers women's basketball team comes with an impressive array of achievements and a strong reputation for player development. Her track record at Jackson State speaks volumes about her coaching prowess, with numerous accolades including HBCU National Coach of the Year and multiple SWAC Coach of the Year awards.

It's evident from her statement that Reed is enthusiastic about the opportunity to lead the Charlotte 49ers and is eager to uphold the program's "Gold Standard" of excellence. Her alignment with the university's strategic plans and her vision for sustained success bode well for the team's future.



Reed's departure from Jackson State, despite her remarkable accomplishments there, seems to have been driven by a lack of contract extension rather than any shortcomings in her coaching abilities. Nonetheless, she now has the chance to leverage the resources and support provided by UNC Charlotte to further develop her coaching career and elevate the women's basketball program.

The sentiments expressed by UNC Charlotte's Director of Athletics, Mike Hill, and Chancellor Sharon L. Gaber reflect the university's confidence in Reed's ability to lead the team to even greater heights. With her proven track record and commitment to excellence, Reed appears to be a fitting choice to take over the reins from Cara Consuegra and guide the Charlotte 49ers into a new era of success.
