Wakama is named the new D’Tigress head coach by NBBF

Rena Wakama has been named the head coach of the D’Tigress FC by the Nigeria Basketball Federation.

Since Otis Hughley’s resignation from his position as coach in 2022, the five-time African champions have been without a head coach.

Wakama, a native of Rivers State, agreed to a two-year deal.

The former player for the United States’ national team has decided to leave her position as an assistant coach at Stony Brook University.

In the UK, she was a professional basketball player.

Wakama previously had a position at Western Carolina University.
