Yvette Harris joined the Hornets in July 2012 as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator. She will oversee all aspects of recruiting and travel for the women’s basketball staff as well as scouting opponents. Additionally, she is responsible for the development and improvement of post players. Off of the court, Harris will serve as the liaison with DSU women’s basketball alumni and administer all community service initiatives, marketing/promotion ventures and coaching clinics. Head coach Tamika Louis describes Harris as “experienced, wise and loyal.” Prior to joining the staff at Delaware State, Harris served two seasons each at Eastern Michigan University and Western Michigan University as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator and one season at Romulus High School (Mich.) as the head girls’ varsity basketball coach. A veteran in the coaching ranks with more than 27 years of collegiate coaching experience, Harris spent five seasons as the head coach at Central Connecticut State (2002-07), where she led the Blue Devils to two consecutive Northeast Conference Tournament appearances, including the school’s first in six years. She recruited and coached the school’s all-time leading scorer and rebounder and four-time all-conference honoree in Gabriella Guegbelet, as well as four NEC All-Rookie Team players. Prior to CCSU, Harris served a five-year stint as the recruiting coordinator for the University of Michigan from 1996-2001. During her time at Michigan, the Wolverines made two appearances in the NCAA Tournament and their first ever Top-25 national ranking. The success in the Big Ten Conference was nothing new to Harris, who had spent three years at Ohio State University under head coach Nancy Darsch from 1990-93, where she shared recruiting responsibilities. While at OSU, the Buckeyes won the Big Ten Conference Championship in 1993 and took a trip to the NCAA Final Four. Harris began her coaching career at Northern Illinois University, where she served as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for five years (198287). The Michigan native graduated with a degree in business administration and finance in 1982 from the University of Detroit Mercy, where she played three seasons of basketball for the Titans. She previously spent one season playing for the University of Michigan. Harris earned a master of arts in administration from Western Michigan in 1990.
