2022-23 WBB Honorary Coaches

The Georgia Southern University women's basketball Honorary Coach program recognizes individuals In appreciation of their hard work and diligence in supporting the academic achievement and community engagement of our student-athletes. As an honorary coach, honorees are invited to get an intimate view of what it means to be an athlete at Georgia Southern. Honorary Coaches need to know nothing about basketball. Their "duties" are merely to be with the team in the locker room for Coach Anita Howard's pre-game speech, sit with the team on the Georgia Southern bench, listen in on the huddles and game strategy, and most importantly, cheer and have a good time! Georgia Southern women's basketball student-athletes recommend candidates for participation.
