RICHMOND, Va. – Jeanine Radice has been promoted to associate head coach, women's basketball head coach Aaron Roussell announced on Wednesday.
"I'm very happy for Jeanine and also very grateful for her years of service to the coaching staff, our players and our program," Roussell said. "Coach Radice is a tireless worker who has been a big reason for the program's rise and success over the last five years.

Radice enters her sixth season with the Spider Women's Basketball program in 2024-25 and has spent the last five seasons as assistant coach.
"I would like to thank Coach Roussell and the administration for this recognition and their continued support," Radice said. "It's an honor to help build a championship caliber program at such a prestigious university and I've enjoyed helping develop young players and up-and-coming assistant coaches with my energy, passion and experience. It's been an exciting five years culminating with an A-10 Championship crown and a NCAA tournament appearance. I'm looking forward to continuing the championship tradition here at Richmond."
Richmond finished on top of the A-10 standings with help from Radice in 2023-24 as the team notched its first A-10 regular season crown en route to an A-10 championship title. The championship marked the first title for the program since 1991 in the CAA. In addition to winning the A-10, the Spiders also notched an appearance in the 2024 NCAA Women's Basketball Championship, where UR took on Duke in the opening round in Columbus, Ohio. Radice, who works closely with Spider guards, helped coach Ally Sweeney to A-10 Rookie of the Week honors during the season as well as Grace Townsend to A-10 All-Conference First Team, All-Championship Team honors and All-Academic accolades during the record-breaking season.
