On Sept. 4, UTA Athletics announced the hiring of Shereka Wright to lead the women’s basketball program.
The decision to bring the Copperas Cove, Texas, native back to her home state was a good one. Her experiences as a player and coach should help her maintain the culture the Lady Mavericks have created over the past seven years.
Wright comes to UTA after spending two years as the associate head coach under Stephanie White at Vanderbilt University. Before that, she worked as an assistant under her former college coach Kristy Curry at Texas Tech University and the University of Alabama.
