Today begins a new day in Texas Southern University Womens Basketball.
Naismath Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer, Cynthia Cooper-Dyke was presented around 2:25PM, as the new womens basketball coach for the TSU Lady Tigers. With this hiring, the Houston area college womens basketball scene changes.

   In that the brand of college womens basketball we've been watching will change competitively. One of Naismath Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer, Cooper-Dyke, favorite muses is, "Are you committed to winning." A winner is who she is, and will always be. As a player on the college and pro level. And as a Coach on the pro and college level she has found a way to make adjustments, figure it out, and won. She's taken two college Div I teams to post season play, (Prairie View A&M Univ-2 yrs and UNC-Wilmington-2 yrs). She also has been able to get 20+ wins out both programs, at 2 each school. With those accomplishments she has picked up 3 Coach of the Year honors in between the CAA(Colonial Athleitc Association) and SWAC(Southwestern Athletic Conference). 

   Definitely recruiting will change but, more than that, basketball playing style will change. At some point, once the conference realignments get settled with the local schools. Hopefully a local rotating Womens Basketball Classic will be on the horizon.

FYI: UNC-Wilmington's pryor post season participation had been 1980-81, 1981-82 to NCAIAW.
