Episode Details

Olivia Gaines, the new head coach of North Carolina Central women’s basketball, is poised to turn around a program stuck in a 18-year losing streak since moving to Division I. After a surprise exit from Allen University — where she led 36 wins and developed award-winning players — Gaines brings championship DNA and mentor Dawn Staley’s influence to the Eagles. With a roster that went 9-21 last season and a conference that’s been dominated by Norfolk State and Howard, Gaines aims for 20 wins and NCAA relevance. She’s already recruiting aggressively and hinted at future showdowns with Staley’s South Carolina team — fans better stay tuned.
