EVANSVILLE – Before the summer even begins, University of Evansville head women's basketball coach Robyn Scherr-Wells has rounded-out her assistant coaching staff for the upcoming season.
Along with Kara Carlson, Scherr-Wells has announced the retention of Tyra Buss as Assistant Coach and the promotion of Tanaeya BoClair from Director of Basketball Operations to Assistant Coach.
Following her first season in coaching, Buss continues her position with the Aces following a season that saw marked improvement from Evansville's backcourt.
"It was a no-brainer to retain Tyra in the assistant coach role," said Scherr-Wells. "She has a bright basketball mind and will be excellent on the court in developing our guards. It was apparent quickly that she sees player development in a similar way to me and I am confident that our guards will benefit tremendously from her mentorship."
Joining Evansville prior to the 2020-21 campaign, BoClair handled much of the work behind the scenes. Early on during Scherr-Wells' time as head coach, BoClair made an impression.
"As I spent time with Tanaeya, it became apparent to me that she has such a bright future in women's basketball," said Scherr-Wells. "As she has been working double duty filling in as an assistant as well as serving as our Director of Operations during my transition, it became obvious to me that she deserved to be promoted to the assistant coach role. I am excited to watch her excel in her new role and I know she will be a big asset to our program as an assistant coach."
The Aces have shaped their coaching staff and roster in just over a month, adding six talented new players and rounding-out the coaching staff.
