Bio
For the first time, the Golden Wings Awards shifted from a Coach of the Year honor to a Coaching Staff of the Year honor, choosing to recognize the entire group that has such a lasting impact on the lives and success of the student-athletes. In the inaugural year of the Coaching Staff of the Year Award, there were co-winners.
The women's basketball staff, led by head coach Kim Rosamond and including assistant coaches Allison Clark, Melanie Walls, and Jasmine James and director of operations Emily Hatfield, oversaw a highly successful campaign that also earned Team of the Year honors. Men's golf, led by OVC Coach of the Year Polk Brown and assistant coach Amanda Smith, also shared the award behind one of the most successful seasons on the links in program history that also led to a share of the Team of the Year accolades.
The women's basketball team finished the 2021-22 campaign 21-11 overall and 14-4 in Ohio Valley Conference play, securing a second-place finish in the regular-season standings.
Boasting the most league wins for Tech in a season since 2010-11, the purple and gold finished as the OVC Tournament runner-up and earned its fifth bid to the WNIT and first since 2011. The Golden Eagles went on to defeat SMU for its first WNIT win since 2006.
