DAYTON, Ohio – University of Dayton has announced that Shauna Green will be the Flyers' new head women's basketball coach.
"We are very excited for Shauna and the opportunity to become the head coach of Dayton," said Northwestern head coach Joe McKeown. "We are also sad to see her leave Northwestern as she did a great job for our program. She is taking over one of the top programs in the Atlantic 10 and I am confident she will embrace and grow the great traditions of Dayton Basketball."
Green, who has previous head coaching experience at Loras College, returns to Dayton after spending last season at Northwestern as an assistant on McKeown's staff. With the Wildcats, Green helped guide the 2015-16 squad to the Big Ten Tournament Semifinals where the Wildcats fell to eventual conference champion Maryland. NU went on to earn a berth in the WNIT.
In just one year at Northwestern, Green helped numerous student-athletes earn athletic and academic accolades. Junior guard Nia Coffey earned WBCA All-America and All-Region honors while eight Wildcats were named Academic All-Big Ten. Junior guard Ashley Deary was named Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year and All-Defensive Team as well.
In her previous stint at Dayton from 2012-2015, Green contributed to the success of the Flyers and made an impact on the current state of the program. In 2012-13, Dayton won 28 games, tying the most wins in the modern era of the program. The Flyers followed that up in Green's final season, 2014-15, with another 28 wins, a sixth-consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance, and the program's first Regional Final. Two student-athletes from that team were drafted in the 2015 WNBA Draft – Ally Malott to the Washington Mystics and Andrea Hoover to the Los Angeles Sparks. Hoover ranks fourth all-time on Dayton's scoring list while Malott ranks seventh.
Green also has a previous coaching stint at Providence College. With the Friars, she served as recruiting coordinator which carried over to the same role at Dayton. Green was responsible for recruiting many of the current players on the Flyer team.
Green signed a multi-year contract.
A 2002 graduate of Canisius, Green received a degree in business marketing. She went on to earn a master's degree in physical education with an emphasis in athletic administration from Loras. Green and her husband, Andy, have one son, Matteo.
