‘It’s a different era’: The lone female coach in DI men’s hoops buoyed by support after 1st season
"Half of my recruits know my story better than I do!"

Edniesha Curry did not set out to be a trailblazer. But make no mistake about it: That’s exactly what the former Oregon and WNBA star is.
Curry is an assistant coach on the University of Maine men’s basketball team. She is the lone female assistant coach in all of Division I men’s college basketball, and the first in a staggering 16 years. She’s the fourth woman in history to serve in this role, following the footsteps of Bernadette Mattox, an assistant at Kentucky from 1990 to 1995; Stephanie Ready, an assistant at Coppin State from 1999 to 2001, and Jennifer Johnston, an assistant at Oakland from 1999 to 2002.
