Western Carolina Promotes Greenman

Cullowhee, N.C. - Western Carolina University Athletics Director Jeff Compher announced today that Shellie Greenman has been promoted as the Associate Head Coach for women's basketball. Greenman is entering her seventh year serving on WCU's coaching staff; her fourth year under head coach Beth Dunkenberger.

"This is a well deserved promotion for Shellie," Compher said. "She does a lot of behind the scenes work for our women's basketball program that has really paid off for the team and this university. She is also a very positive person who is great to have around our department."

Greenman serves as the recruiting coordinator for Western Carolina and faces the task of organizing all recruiting efforts. She is also responsible for coaching the guards and working with the team's offense. She has coached Christy Blackwell, who led the SoCon in steals (90) as well as assist average (4.8) in 2000-01. Greenman has also coached Ki-Ki Glass, who led the conference in assists (117) in 2001-02 and was named to the league's All-Freshman team. Additionally, under Greenman's guidance, Yoneko Allen led the league in 3-point field goals in 2002-03 with 67, among other accomplishments on and off the court.

Greenman has been coaching at the Division I level for 15 years now. She worked previously at Western Carolina under Head Coach Gary Peters from 1993-96. Greenman has also completed stints at Miami University (Ohio) and Southern Conference rival, Chattanooga. She has the impressive distinction of having recruited a player who was named the Conference Rookie of the Year at each of the three schools.

"Shellie has been instrumental in finding the right players to help us build our championship program," stated Dunkenberger. "She's an excellent evaluator and recruiter and her hard work has helped us land many of our top recruits. We're extremely proud to recognize her efforts and reward her with this promotion."
