4 Semeka Randall Head Coach Fifth Season Tennessee 00 Combine talent, determination and passion, and you have what embodies one the most well-known women s basketball names in the state of Ohio, Semeka Randall. The Cleveland, Ohio, native and former Tennessee All-American enters her fifth year at the helm of Ohio women s basketball during the campaign. From to , growth and improvement are words that can define the Bobcats under Randall s tutelage. Ohio showed a one-game improvement in the win column, and notched its second win in three seasons in the first round of the Mid-American Conference Tournament. The Bobcats traveled to DeKalb, Ill., and posted a victory over the Northern Illinois Huskies. The win helped Ohio advance to Cleveland where it fell to eventual conference champion Bowling Green in the quarterfinals at Quicken Loans Arena. Under Randall s watch, Ohio marked tremendous improvement at the free throw line in The Bobcats got to the charity stripe 587 times during the season and hit 401 attempts, both program-best marks in Randall s three seasons in Athens. Her six-player recruiting class for the season was ranked 60th in the country according to the Collegiate Girls Basketball Report, and includes Parade Magazine All-America Team member Mariah Byard. Byard is one of just 40 players who was recognized by Parade Magazine. COACHING BACKGROUND Ohio University Head Coach (2008-Present) West Virginia University Assistant Coach ( ) Michigan State University Assistant Coach ( ) Cleveland State University Assistant Coach ( ) The Randall File PLAYING EXPERIENCE San Antonio Silver Stars (WNBA), Tennessee Fury (NWBL), 2003 Greek Professional Basketball League, Utah Starzz (WNBA), 2002 Israeli Professional Basketball League, Seattle Storm (WNBA), University of Tennessee First Team All-American, 1999 and 2000 Women s Basketball Journal Defensive POY, 1999 and 2000 First Team All-SEC, 1999 and 2000 Second Team All-SEC, 1998 NCAA Mideast Regional All-Tournament Team, 1998 and 2000 PERSONAL Hometown: Cleveland, Ohio High School: Trinity HS Education: Tennessee, 00 What they re Saying Semeka has enjoyed success at all levels -- as a player at Tennessee, in the WNBA, and as a valued assistant at schools in the Big Ten and the BIG EAST. I know she is going to take the same energy, passion and drive that she exhibited as a player and transfer it into her new role as the head coach at Ohio. - Tennessee head and Basketball Hall-of-Fame Coach Pat Summitt I am so pleased and proud of Semeka. She brings great energy, passion, and a solid knowlege of the game to Ohio University. She has competed at the highest level and understands what it takes to pursue championships. - Duke head coach Joanne McCallie Ohio University is getting an excellent coach in Semeka Randall. She s one of the bright young minds in the women s game and I have no doubt that she will bring continued success to the Bobcats. - West Virginia coach Mike Carey The season was one of the best ones in recent memory, as Ohio posted a mark (6-10 MAC) and hosted a game, which it won, in the opening round of the Mid-American Conference Tournament. The Bobcats went 12-5 at home, their best record in The Convocation Center since and beat MAC rival Bowling Green in Athens, something which hadn t been achieved in a decade. Ohio made 145 three-point field goals during the season, a single-season mark which ranks eighth all-time in program history. The Bobcats also continued the up-tempo defense which has been Randall s trademark, generating 320 steals (second all-time). Randall has already left her mark on the Bobcats since her introduction as the head coach in Ohio has become one of the top defensive squads in the Mid-American Conference and established itself as a gritty and determined squad with a fighting attitude. That grit can be highlighted by a commitment to rebounding. Since 2008, Randall s Ohio teams have posted a positive rebounding margin each season. This makes the Bobcats one of two teams in the MAC to outrebound its opponents each of the last three years. Under her guidance, three players have garnered four All-MAC honors in the past three years. Guard Jennifer Bushby captured her second all-conference nod in , while forward Kamille Buckner shattered the school s all-time blocks record and finished second in MAC history with 199 career blocks. Bushby also became just the second player in program history to surpass 1,000 career points, 300 career assists and 300 career steals last season. Following the season, senior guard Tenishia Benson was named to the All-MAC First Team. Inheriting a young team and perhaps the most challenging schedule in the program s history in her first year, Randall treated the potentially-intimidating situation like any other challenge she had during her career. She attacked it head on with grit, determination and a fighting attitude. All of which rubbed off onto her pupils during the season. The `Cats took on such programs as Syracuse, Clemson, South Carolina and nationally-ranked teams Florida and Bowling Green, and battled each of them right down to the very last second, serving notice that the `Cats were indeed ready to carry on the strong tradition of success that had been set at Ohio. Under Randall s tutelage in year one, the `Cats established themselves as a strong defensive unit, ranking second in the MAC in scoring defense and blocked shots, and first in field goal percentage defense and rebounding defense. Ohio also led the conference in shooting on the year. Individually, Lauren Hmiel and Bushby were both named to All-MAC teams under her watch. She also saw Bushby lead the conference in assists and Buckner shatter the school s singleseason blocks record while also leading the league in the category. Randall didn t waste any time in showing her ability on the recruiting trails either as the `Cats landed the second-best recruiting class in the MAC, building even more excitement for the future of the program. The former Tennessee All-American and four-year WNBA veteran, who was inducted into the Ohio Basketball Hall of Fame on May 17, 2008, came to Ohio University on May 9, 2008, after spending a year as an assistant coach at West Virginia. Prior to that, Randall was an assistant coach at Michigan State from During her tenure at MSU, the Spartans played for the national championship in 2005, advanced to the Sweet 16 in 2006 and made it to the NCAA second round in Prior to her tenure at Michigan State, Randall served as an assistant coach at Cleveland State from A standout guard for the Lady Vols from , Randall earned Kodak All-America First Team honors in 1999 and She was an integral part of Tennessee s 1998 NCAA Championship team that went 39-0, averaging 15.9 points a game while earning honorable mention All-America recognition. In addition to her All-America honors, she was named Women s Basketball Journal s Defensive Player of the Year in 1999 and 2000, first-team All-Southeastern Conference in 1999 and 2000, second-team All-SEC and SEC All-Freshman Team in 1998, and was on the NCAA Mideast Regional All-Tournament team in 1998 and Semeka has enjoyed success at all levels -- as a player at Tennessee, in the WNBA, and as a valued assistant at schools in the Big Ten and the BIG EAST, said Tennessee head coach Pat Summitt. I know she is going to take the same energy, passion and drive that she exhibited as a player and transfer it into her new role as the head coach at Ohio. Randall scored 1,915 points during her career at Tennessee (13.7 ppg) and added 716 rebounds (5.1 rpg), 286 steals and 236 assists. She ranks fifth on the Lady Vols career charts in both points and steals, and third in free throws made (439).
