When Destinee Rogers took over at Arkansas State University in December, the Strong native made her primary goal clear for the season.
"If I want them to remember anything, I would want them to remember how hard I fought for them," Rogers told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
Rogers, 31, is going to have a couple more years to keep fighting.
ASU announced Sunday morning that it had removed Rogers' interim tag and named her the permanent women's basketball head coach, making her the first Black female head coach in Red Wolves' history. Complete contract details were not available Sunday, but a school spokesman confirmed that it is a multi-year deal.
